One of the few Congressional Democrat accounts that understands and responds to the danger Trump portends.

The federal government is actively at war against the civilian population of Chicago

He’s sincerely the dumbest man to ever occupy the office.

Trump posted this image on Truth tonight, with no comment or explanation.

Bernie may not look the part but he walks the walk and talks the talk. He speaks truth. Mamdani is the real deal.

Important to remember that everyone involved in renaming the DoD to the Department of War is afraid to take the subway.

Understatement of the fucking year right here.

wtf is this nonsense? He thinks he can understand kid’s “mitochondrial challenges” just by looking at them? This is an insane person.

We walked home along Massachusetts Avenue & then Penn Ave It’s a Monday night during the August recess, but our restaurants & bars are uncommonly empty on a gorgeous summer night. The streets are mostly dark & empty on the Hill. Trump’s authoritarian power grab is devastating local DC businesses.

Imaging the awesome power the position of Chief Design Officer of the United States must hold. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential... Can establish a dress code for federal employees, require red baseball caps in federal buildings, redesign the American flag, enforce tattoo standards with help of FBI.

TIL "Ghost Students." www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ye4... Fraudsters apply for admission to community college, get accepted, file for financial aid, turn in homework, and get to collect the financial aid checks. 20% of California community college apps are fraudsters, this is apparently a real thing.

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

The federal government has announced that it is preparing plans for the invasion of the municipality of Chicago and perhaps even the greater Cook County area. wapo.st/4mvKFW3

The Confederacy has invaded Washington DC.

Echoing Renee here, me and my team were FOIA'ed by the MO AG office, sued by America First Legal, and then hauled in front of Jim Jordan's committee in DC, where, at the table interviewing me (for SIX HOURS) sat a lawyer who shifted from America First to Jordan's staff. This is MACHINE.

Another day of carnage in crime-ridden Washington, DC.

ICE used your taxpayer dollars to trick out a bunch of trucks in new livery, all painted black with "ICE" and a logo printed in gold on the side (and Trump's name in gold on the back window), then shoot a rap video in DC to post on social media. I am not making this up.

“He thought it was funny” said Judge Pirro. “Well, he doesn’t think it is funny today”. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/13/u... She confirmed the sandwich was from Subway as many had speculated. The perp confessed: “I did it. I threw the sandwich .”

The PACER hack is getting worse and worse: "investigators suspect that Russian hackers played a role […] and have grown bolder about how much data they steal over time. That includes pilfering source code […] and vacuuming up sealed case data." www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

holy shit this is a helluva ad from the Democrat running against Joni Ernst in Iowa. worth every second

Stay salty DC 🔥

RFK Jr., back at the lab: "No no, I said two parts roadkill, one part whale juice! Do I have to do this all by myself?"

JJ Citron and Ellie Citron decried Snap Maps in @slate.com back in the day. Instagram are you listening? slate.com/technology/2...

A dollar. I don’t get it. I mean, what’s the value here? And, why should ChatGPT bring in the big bucks when the agencies pay far less than that for open source packages like, you know, python, or apache, or django, or …

Israel is using Microsoft Azure to store recordings of every phone call made by Palestinians in the occupied territories, then using AI to analyze the contents and select targets. Microsoft is (dubiously) claiming ignorance.

I read a couple of pieces this week that show how people are not just protesting but actively resisting Trump-era abuses and putting themselves on the line to protect their neighbors. They're well worth your time.

Sent this in to the @watchduty.org team. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/02/w... Add flying fish to your list.

It has been the honor of my life to serve as Commissioner of BLS alongside the many dedicated civil servants tasked with measuring a vast and dynamic economy. It is vital and important work and I thank them for their service to this nation.
