CDC headquarters windows with visible bullet holes

I took this picture myself at the CDC protest today. These are among the hundreds of bullet holes in CDC headquarters windows, visible from the street. I heard today that the admin has no urgent plan to fix these windows.

Imagine being a CDC employee going to work under these conditions

MAGA terrorist Vance Luther Boelter arrested after manhunt for assassinating a US lawmaker and her husband and brutally shooting another. He had a list of at least 70 Democrat lawmakers and other private citizens he was planning to murder.

A few days ago, Musk called for Trump to be impeached and suggested he was involved in pedophilia.

Then Trump threatened to terminate Musk's federal contracts.

Now Musk is back to promoting Trump.

How to Protest Safely: What to Bring, What to Do, and What to Avoid If you’re planning to hit the streets, here’s what you need to know.

Americans are taking to the streets and showing up in US cities by the thousands to protest a plethora of President Donald Trump’s second-term policies.

In response? Tear gas deployed and protesters shot with rubber bullets in LA.

A WIRED guide on how to protest safely:

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

I've never actually known anyone who could lie as constantly and shamelessly as this entire White House does.

Just as chanting “free Palestine” does not make something antisemitic, yelling it doesn’t magically mean that targeting a Jewish professionals event in a Jewish space isn’t antisemitic (or violent, or senseless, or craven).

five new york sanitation officers in formal dress. olive drab pants and coat with orange piping, and orange shoulder braids, peaked caps, black patent sam browne belts, crisp white gloves. they look fantastic.

i strongly believe all civil servants should have really cool formal uniforms for special occaisions

This is some authoritarian shit. Noem said since Harvard won’t give her disciplinary records on students, she’s terminating their foreign exchange student program immediately, and ordered that foreign students must transfer to other schools or have visas revoked.

Crockett: That’s why they hired everybody from Fox because all they’re trying to do is put on a show.. I want us to refocus our attention on the American people and stop demonizing every person that ends up in ICE custody…

*Applause*

Van Drew: *bangs gavel*

Class and dignity in everything.

New: UAE is trying to recruit Pentagon workers displaced by DOGE to move to Abu Dhabi to work on AI for UAE military. A UAE brigadier general met last month with two former staffers of Defense Digital Service who have worked on US classified projects and tried to recruit them and the entire DDS team

A tweet from Jeanne Pirro, under her new US Attorney Xitter handle. She's RTing a post about an Admiral convicted of bribery. She says: When you abuse your position and betray the public trust to line your own pockets, it undermines the confidence in the government you represent. Our office, with our law enforcement partners, will root out corruption – be it bribes or illegal contracts – and hold accountable the perpetrators, no matter what title or rank they hold.

Someone forgot to tell winebox lady they're not prosecuting corruption anymore.

I mean, Bondi and Chad Mizelle have said bribery doesn't exist anymore.

Lawyer for Venezuelans deported to El Salvador prison arrested Ruth López held without access to lawyers at secret location accused of ‘embezzlement’ a decade ago

None of the 278 men sent to CECOT have been returned. Meanwhile their lawyer has been arrested and "disappeared" in El Salvador.

They're arresting Members of Congress.

Perhaps a sternly-worded letter is in order.

Or, perhaps, it's time to play some damn hardball with the DOJ.

MAKE NOISE ON THIS ONE‼️

They didn’t just deport him—they sent him to CECOT in El Salvador.

Agelviz came here legally through the refugee resettlement program—fully vetted. But when he landed in Houston, CBP snatched him over a tattoo: a clock and a rose.

No charges. No record. Just a suspicion.

Jeffries on the $5m payout to Ashli Babbitt's family: "This settlement is just an extension of what they've previously done, which is to pardon violent felons who violently attacked the Capitol on January 6, including police officers."

Unthinkable evil.

So if you suddenly try to break into Congress to murder the VP you've supported for 4 years because he won't break the law and the police shoot you, your family gets 5 million dollars?

Do I have that right, humans?

Statement from the NJAG Matt Platkin

Just a few weeks ago people were pitching Cory Booker as a front runner for the 2028 Dem presidential nomination.

Tonight he was the only Senate Dem to vote to confirm Jared Kushner’s convict dad as ambassador to France.

Sheesh.

Straight up mobster shit.

Willing to bet a very large amount that most of that 413% rise in “assaults” on ICE agents represent unarmed people attacking ICE fists with their faces and boots with their kidneys.

Because these people are lying scum.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

any body who has followed joe biden knows the death of his son was and remains an incredibly painful memory and to frame it as anything else is just fuckin vile

Who doesn’t remember all the times they tried to throw Trump in prison for posting Biden hogtied, a baseball bat next to Alvin Bragg and jokes about Pelosi’s attacker

I'm extremely happy to present my original theory of the REAL revolution in military affairs for everyone's consideration.
