EXCLUSIVE: Fired DOJ prosecutor Maurene Comey sends message to former colleagues, warning that ‘Fear is the tool of the tyrant.’

“They don’t want anyone to see how they treat people. They want to be doing this”—their deportations—”with no witnesses.”

Kudos to all members of the WSJ team who resisted legal threats from the president to do journalism about the president.

We can see your voting record.

Vance: I empathize with Americans who are exhausted after 25 years of foreign entanglements in the Middle East. I understand the concern, but the difference is that back then we had dumb presidents

NEW: The DHS has issued a heightened terror threat for Americans. Good thing we have that 22 year old former gardener in charge of counterterrorism and DHS is busy with mass deportation. www.dhs.gov/ntas/advisor...

DOGE was never about savings. It was always about surveillance. Over the weekend, we released new details—and now whistleblowers are coming forward too. What’s becoming clearer by the day: DOGE isn’t a government efficiency program. It’s a data weapon aimed at the American people.

This is remarkably incoherent even for him. But I especially like the notion that these evil criminals are applying to pick crops and mop hotel bathrooms.

Yep. I hear folks in leisure and hotel biz are just loving the collapse of tourism into the US.

A complete and total clown show.👇

What they aren’t showing on Fox News

Popok: I don’t want to live in a country where I wake up and the president and his henchmen are sending other human beings—and they are outsourcing them for cash. Paying cash to third-world countries that don’t respect our values.

Even before latest thing I've been telling people for months Joni Ernst is way more vulnerable next year than people think. Dems should be investing a lot right now laying the ground work in the state.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

"Well, we are all going to die." --Senator Joni Ernst That has to be the glibbest way any politician has ever told a constituent that they didn’t give a shit about them.

If deporting US citizen children with cancer isn’t your redline, it’s time to reassess your priorities.

If you build NOT A CYBERTRUCK, they will come www.nbcnews.com/business/aut...

The below blog piece blew up on FB so thought I’d post it here as well. It’s a piece a wrote summarizing an actual conversation I had recently with a Trump/Musk/Doge supporter. For whatever reason this really has resonated with folks. I suspect you also will relate. garyhooser.blog/2025/03/22/t...

Miller is a lunatic.

Why is Pete Hegseth bringing his wife to top security meetings and hiring his brother at the Pentagon? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

Pete Hegseth brought his wife to his meetings with senators so it would be awk to ask him about his alleged sexual misconduct www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?

Breathtaking. A federal prosecutor in LA was fired Friday at the behest of the White House, after lawyers for a fast-food executive he was prosecuting pushed officials in DC to drop all charges against him White House ordered firing of L.A. federal prosecutor on ex-Fatburger CEO case, sources say

Cry more

Hiring your brother is the original affirmative action for white people.

This is painful, and saddening, and embarrassing. I feel like we're losing a member of the family - and for no good reason other than that some Americans wanted another season of the worst reality TV show in history.

“There is no administration in the world — beyond this one — where a blunder of these proportions happens and nobody gets fired or resigns. Not in London. Not in Moscow. Not in Tokyo. Not in Pyongyang. Nowhere.” www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Kseniia Petrova, a Russian scientist at Harvard Medical School, was detained at Logan Airport after returning from France and sent to an ICE detention in Louisiana, The Insider reports. A big critic of Putin and the war in Ukraine, she may now be deported to Russia.

Sending a Russian dissent back to Russia to be tortured and/or killed perfectly encapsulates this loathsome administration’s lack of American values.

How a party loses its soul: Respectable Republican Condi Rice visits Kristi Noem. Noem stages a sick photo-op in El Salvador with deportees as props. Some of them were law-abiding U.S. immigrants, now imprisoned in that hellhole. No respectable Republican criticizes Noem.

There are so many examples of this that you really have to conclude their very clear intent is to not ever be out of power again.

I will fearlessly and unapologetically continue to stand up for democracy, no matter what the president says about me. Democracy Docket will do the same: www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

House and Senate republicans are actually calling out the Trump administration for their plans to withdraw from NATO's Supreme Allied Command Europe - the primary command that oversees support for Ukraine, and the first step in abandoning NATO allies.

The good news is that there *are* people meeting the moment. youtu.be/EJxRtjma7lc

Did Brian Glenn ask him why he is wearing sunglasses inside the White House?

My trousers stayed up and no one rushed the stage and slapped me, so all things considered… a pretty good night. #Oscars2025

I didn't think I was capable of feeling any more shame for what America has become. I was wrong.

If the market continues to trend down, and the Atlanta Fed turns out to be right, the midterms will be very interesting. The battle between republican self preservation and MAGA will be intense

A disgraceful day.

Yes

what a day
