Big announcement from Gov. Newsom:

Jen and I are heartbroken by the tragic loss of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner.

So there is already an ai-generated whitewashing campaign to bury the name of the Muslim man, Ahmed al Ahmed, who disarmed one of the Bondi Beach shooters, and replace his identity with a white guy name and that’s why even a thimble of our potable water powering this tech is too fucking much.

After Marcelo Gomes da Silva was arrested by ICE on his way to volleyball practice in Milford, he made a promise to the men he shared a cell with: He’d be a voice for immigrants unfairly detained. He's one of Boston Globe Magazine’s Bostonians of the Year. trib.al/p9Edy6F

The US government is now a mafia organization.

I spoke in Warren County, Indiana tonight. The organizer of the event said they usually have around 30 folks who come to their holiday supper. Tonight there were 150 people there. Things are changing. Especially in red states.

Look what I got at the op shop today @anntics.bsky.social

There will be a Pulitzer prize for the journalist who can reveal the details of how this pardon happened.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Dear Senator Cassidy, “We” didn’t. WE didn’t pardon anyone. HE did. The President of the United States pardoned him. Come on Bill, say his name. Who’s our president? Say his name. Best, Your Former Congressional Colleague

Amazing headline. h/t @brianstelter.bsky.social

The fate of the free world rests on someone who requires weekly MRI tests to monitor his advancing dementia. We can do better.

The secret to early retirement; dine out rarely, fly economy and be a Google employee making $390,000/year married to a fellow Google employee 17 years older than you who likely makes twice as much as you.

Thou shalt not pretend that you’re at war with drug traffickers while pardoning drug traffickers.

so none of what he’s saying is real btw

"There are costs to performatively deploying members of the military—one of which is the risk of endangering them" From @juliettekayyem.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

Here’s a list of people that should be in jail.

National Guard members should never have been deployed in Washington, DC.

When I worked for Obama, I advised him on how to talk to Russian leaders. I never gave the Kremlin advice on how to talk to Obama (and I talked to Ushakov many times!).

If this is true, every halfway decent foreign intelligence service on the planet already has the receipts ….

When the GOP has lost *checks notes*… Ron Paul, we’re really living in the upside down

Breaking: Viola Ford Fletcher, the oldest living survivor of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, has died. She was 111 years old

Sen. Mark Kelly has released a statement. "If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won't work. I've given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies..."

Are those "MANY GREAT LEGAL SCHOLARS" in the room with you right now, Piggy?

A video captured of Maria a Street Vendor reunited with her Autistic 15 yr old son after he was wrongfully detained for 50 days.

2238 S. Wentworth, gorgeous terra cotta facade from 1932 (Michaelsen & Rognstad architects), home of the Ling Long Museum until around 1983, before becoming Emperor's Choice restaurant.

It was TRANSLATED by the US from Russian into English, not authored by the US.

A sitting president shouting that people should be jailed for telling the military to follow the law. You can hear the panic in every capital letter.

The Polish prime minister reacts

Rep. Jasmine Crockett has released receipts that reveal that ProPublica has reported that Kristi Noem secretly diverted hundreds of millions of dollars in Department of Homeland Security funds to a consulting firm affiliated with her own campaign.

Interesting. Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyers says she will plead the fifth if forced to testify to Congress. But she willingly sat down with Todd Blanche? What a load of horseshit. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

HUGE development IN hearing for Comey selective prosecution motion, It turns out that the grand jury NEVER saw the operative indictment. Whole separate basis for dismissal. Standby for more.

NEWS: During a hearing in federal court in VA, prosecutors confirmed that the operative indictment in the case against James Comey was never shown to or voted on by the entire grand jury before it was presented in open court. Defense counsel argued that’s a complete bar to further prosecution

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

Every outlet worth a damn should be calling this out. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

NEW: When Andrew Tate landed in the US, Customs & Border Protection seized his electronic devices. But @propublica.org found that a White House official told DHS to return the devices, emphasizing that the request came from the White House. By @robert-faturechi.bsky.social & Avi Asher-Schapiro

she was doing okay for a while there and then 😵‍💫

What a photograph. “Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…” Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Not three months ago, Bondi and Patel stated unequivocally that there was nothing more to investigate (but that is indeed the reason the will give for not releasing the files now)
