I'd consider it an enormous step forward in NYT reporting if they simply did 2 things: 1. Stopped granting the benefit of the doubt to Trump statements. A serial liar should be presumed to be lying. 2. Stopped laundering evidence. Report what Trump actually says, instead of resorting to euphemisms.

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends. It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

Exactly. What fight?

"[T]here's a lot that's left to be desired" on Trumps dealing with immigration issue. Ya think? Yeah, there's a lot left to be desired about hauling people out of their cars, kidnapping them, and deporting them all without due process.This is a leader of our opposition FFS.

This.

Exactly.

Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office. He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people. Release the transcript.

Is the Atlantic Ocean circulation close to tipping? Hear the latest science as I presented it last month at the ATLAS25 event in Helsinki. Let me know if anything is unclear, or if you see good reasons why your government shouldn't immediately act on this. 🌊 youtu.be/ULJXqOZuY-8

JFC. Does @schumer.senate.gov not get that by caving, Democrats make it *harder,* not easier, to make the ACA subsidies expiring stick politically to Trump/GOP? This effort to shame Republicans in this context risks signaling to low-info voters that Rs are standing on conviction and Dems aren't.

And we're all supposed to pretend that this show-vote is anything more than theater.

Democrats Sick Of Being Blamed For Cowardice On Issues They Actually Just Don’t Care About

Along with a promised show-vote that the Dems know very well will not pass or become law.

Memo to Democrats: If you are running for election or re-election in 2026, don't come seeking my support, money or vote unless you show me you understand the assignment is to fight like fucking hell against a tyrant of historic proportions who is corruptly and illegally dismantling our democracy.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!! Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

Three times this year Senate Republicans have waived the 60-vote requirement of Senate Rule 22 to end debate and proceed with a simple majority vote without any Democrats. To override CA electric vehicle standards, yes. To fund the government, no. Not when they can blame the Democrats.

10 days ago Firecrown, which now owns virtually all general aviation publications, fired AvWeb Editor-in-Chief Russ Niles and all the other staff effectively destroying one of the most topical, influential and informational aviation news sources. In days Russ created a better pub in its stead.

Thanks to Russ Niles AVBrief is an inspiring story of an aviation journalist's integrity, skill and determination. Russ, in matter of days, created a new web site AvBrief.org that uses human intelligence to report on aviation. And he's done it well. Please subscribe and support.

General Aviation's publication overlord, Firecrown Media, already destroyed the former Belvoir magazines Aviation Consumer and Aviation Safety. Now it's rendered AvWeb into an AI publication. Choose the human intelligence of AVBrief instead for your aviation news.

Sen. Murkowski had to have been thinking "what does Sen. Collins do if I vote 'no' on the abominable bill." How likely is it that she caves to pressure and votes 'yes'? In which case Alaska gets screwed by a bill with none of the measures I negotiated to mitigate impacts. Pretty likely I think.

The only reason Republicans have a reputation as "fiscal hawks" is that the press refuses to tell the public basic facts about what they do when they are in office.

Using the CA National Guard to overthrow the Mayor of LA and the Governor of California.

Senators are ELECTED to be a VOICE for their constituents. What happens when that voice is stifled, thrown to the ground, and handcuffed like Senator Padilla was? We have a democracy, but we can lose that democracy. I took to the Senate floor to speak out—I hope you'll join me.

At this point in my life I'm trying to decide whether RFK Jr is going to get me killed before Trump bankrupts me.

Massively cutting Medicaid and SNAP isn’t the only way to find savings. We could just forgo tax cuts for Americans making over $500K instead. My @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social Chart

Bringing this to Bsky bc @steverattner.bsky.social hasn't posted it yet and it's so critical. The entirety of the cuts to Medicaid and food benefits are to pay for tax cuts for people earning more than half a million a year. Call Congress: 202-224-3121
