When you’re asked to explain lawless actions. Every cabinet Secy is just making it up as they go along w/the sole goal of doing Trump’s will, leaving the next cabinet member to stumble around trying to make lawlessness make sense.

Direct quote from Trump re: Kennedy Center, “I'm not ripping it down. I'll be using the steel. So we're using the structure. We're using some of the marble.” -he’s ripping it down. Stop him or you won’t recognize DC soon.

2026 is 34 days old and I’ve spent 24 days of it in a VA hospital. The stays have been pre and post the murder of Alex Pretti. My outrage and grief have not abated. I hope yours hasn’t either. I have a project on simmer that is almost ready and I’m going to need your righteous anger and readiness

Haven't seen this circulating as much here as I've seen over on Twitter and Threads, but just an FYI that the "girls FTW" email is FAKE. It's not in the files. There's no time or date stamp. Someone just made it as a (really dumb and harmful) joke. leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2...

Maybe Rivian stock will stop its nosedive. Would help if they could stop with the recalls.

I hope it is true and I hope the marauder uses their fraud money for a worthy cause. Like whistles, protective masks, etc.

Wait. Is Liam free? And his dad? Did I miss that. I’m in the hospital again. Not up on everything.

Last night, at least one federal agent shot me multiple times w/ pepper balls in my leg after they dispersed hundreds of protesters away from the MDC driveway on Alameda Street in DTLA. I was covering the protest for @lataco.bsky.social. This is the 2nd time I've been shot by the feds since June.

South Carolina measles outbreak reaches 789 cases, surpassing Texas. The ongoing outbreak is the largest since measles was eliminated in the country 26 years ago. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Reminder that if you were vaccinated for measles between the late 1950-1980s, you got one dose, not the two doses that are recommended now. You will think you’re protected, but you may not be! Get your titers checks or get a booster.
