Just when there is no way to falsify anything through modern technology, and faith in the skill and integrity of our Justice Department has never been greater -- a fantastic time to be presented with an overwhelming trove of deeply disturbing documents implicating the highest levels of government!

The only time Article 5 of the NATO Treaty was invoked was to defend us, not for us to defend Europe. European soldiers and civilians died fighting with us and working next to us in Afghanistan. Europe was not attacked on September 11, 2001.

Were we a signatory to the Rome Statute, these monsters *would* eventually be tried at the Hague. But we aren't, so would a legal scholar please explain whether all we've got is SCOTUS ensuring these crimes get shoved under the giant shame umbrella of Presidential immunity, like so many others?

I mean, the party that *controls* Congress hasn't shown up to work in over a month on explicit orders from the Speaker of the House because he wants to keep protecting the most prolific sex monster in US history. But, sure, I guess you can describe that as"at an impasse over the plans' subsidies."

Last night's layoffs are right out of the Project 2025 playbook, executed by its architect Russ Vought. These illegal layoffs cannot be left to stand. We need to fight them on every front. We need these public servants back on the job immediately. Lives are literally on the line. 3/3

Trump just eviscerated the CDC. This is not hyperbole. Using the shutdown as a pretext, last night he fired—illegally—100s of key scientists, disease detectives, immunologists, respiratory disease experts, the entire Office of the Chief Medical Officer, the CDC's entire Washington office, etc. 1/3

Decades ago, I found myself seated beside her at a 5-year-old's birthday party. We watched the kids' entertainer, who was...not great, but giving his all; puppets, instruments, etc. Keaton was utterly rapt, verbalizing amused, encouraging things like, "Oh no, really? Oh, my! Oh, that's terrific!" đź’”

One first step people should do to respond to this is start using the “report a speed trap” function in Apple Maps to report where ICE is operating. Make Apple party to the attempt to protect people.

After her hearing at 26 Federal Plaza, a woman was detained and escorted toward the stairwell. Her husband, confused and in shock, was guided toward the exit. Minutes later, he broke down in the elevator. They entered together, but he left alone. This happens here daily.
