Spent Saturday with President Obama and New York's Cutest — turns out my first name is Mayor and I need to be doing more squats.
Here’s to building a City where families can thrive and every classroom is full of this much joy.
Yet again I remind everyone (as Elizabeth does in her very next tweet) that "foreigners are corrupting our pure blood with weakness & disease" is Fascism 101. Not some variant, not some metaphorically similar thing, not some echo -- the thing itself.
seems like florida redistricting is still very much up in the air. probably because gop is worried they're going to dummymander themselves if the blue wave is as big as it looks like it's going to be.
Sadly, I think these oppressors, would happily shoot more women in the face just like Renee Goode if given the chance. That's one of these chuds primary motivators is their hatred of women.
“Aled Damien Carbonell-Betancourt, a 27-year-old man from Cuba, died on April 12, one day after the 16th death of the year. The pace of detention deaths holds at an average of 1 every 6 days.” austinkocher.substack.com/p/aled-damie...
WOW. What a close call.

“Democracy” hasn’t failed, but is being intentionally destroyed by corrupt, anti-truth/post-truth, anti-democratic, anti-American, pseudo-“Christian”, Big Oil/Corporate owned, climate science denying, greedy soulless, Russian allied Republicans, who value their own greed and false ideology over all.
Beyond proud to announce that we've won a Webby Award for our coverage of ICE's Minneapolis takeover.
Between January 7 and February 3, we deployed reporters to Minneapolis and brought back indelible footage. 🧵
if the right is successful, it must be because the liberals possess some fatal shortcoming or overreached in a way that mechanically produced backlash. the idea that the political right is its own thing with its own aims, can harness discontent and take advantage of contingency is verboten i guess
flipping through a proof of yet another book from a somewhat well known liberal voice diagnosing “where the left went wrong” and i’m struck, again, by the fact that a large part (if not most) of the liberal commentariat simply does not believe that the political right has agency.
Obviously not, right? So what's the point?
Is there even a single Maine voter who will be moved by Joe Manchin's endorsement of Susan Collins?
For shame
Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

GALLEGO: Earlier today, you told Sec. Kennedy that Trump never demanded you to cut interest rates. Is that your sworn testimony?
WARSH: That is, senator.
GALLEGO: Okay. Well someone here is lying then. Because Trump confirmed he pressed you on interest rate cuts.
KIM: Are you concerned there could be real long-term effects of this war in Iran with fuel and fertilizer?
WARSH: If my reform agenda stands for anything, it's for the central bank to stay in his lane
KIM: But you're also charged with forecasting
Feel like it should be a bigger story that Howard Lutnick's firm (run by his kids) created a financial product to buy up tariff refund claims at a major discount, and will now be cashing in on the higher costs passed onto consumers.
From Gaza to now Iran and Lebanon, Israel is expanding its testing ground for AI-enabled military technology in terrifying ways.
Read my latest piece in Zeteo about how big tech is powering Israel’s AI war machine 👇
The Israeli army is using AI systems to mark tens of thousands of Palestinians as potential targets for assassination. But the AI targeting systems have almost no human oversight and seem to be extremely permissive when it comes to casualties, regularly slaughtering entire families.
We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city “sweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose.
“They took my baby pictures and my moms obituaries,” a man in California wrote.

Oliver Darcy is reporting that Paramount will host Brendon Carr. If the legacy media had any self-respect they would cancel or boycott this dinner. But they don't. That is why you need to support independent media.
Thanks to #Trump #China will profit immensely by exporting its renewable energy IP to other countries to ween themselves off of #Oil and #Gas. Meanwhile, Trump is cutting resources for this tech to appease oil/gas #Billionaires and companies. www.politico.eu/article/how-...
After decades of historians,generals, actual participants failing to neatly “wrap up” the Vietnam War,we finally have the answer delivered confidently from the comfort of hindsight by Trump.
“I would have won Vietnam very quickly.”
