This. Remember they cut healthcare for this.

CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination Audio recordings, intercepted phone calls and other intelligence link Mohammed bin Salman to killing that Saudis say was conducted by rogue elements.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

While we're all discussing how it's wrong to murder someone, let's not forget this:

National Guard troops deployed in D.C. add sanitation, landscaping duties Service members say they’re glad to help the National Park Service. But some question if trash removal and groundskeeping are an appropriate use of the military.

So let me get this straight. Trump fired close to 25% of the National Park Service's workforce, whose job it is to maintain DC's public landscape. And in their place we are using the National Guard, who have been yanked away from their own jobs and careers. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Being awful to Americans who honorably served the country for nearly two decades, just to be bigots.

The CFPB has returned more than $21 billion directly to consumers who got ripped off. Republicans in Congress have seen it work for families across the country – but they’re trying to kill the agency anyway.

food delivery was never the problem and has never been the problem.

the problem is tech companies inserting themselves into the delivery economy and taking a significant cut of what would be paid to the driver and the restaurant.

the problem, as always, is tech-fueled labor exploitation.

ICE Lawyers Are Hiding Their Names in Immigration Court ICE attorneys fighting to deport immigrants are able to obscure their identities — no masks required.

It's not just ICE agents covering their faces -- even some ICE lawyers are hiding their identities from the public now, with the approval of immigration judges. theintercept.com/2025/07/15/i...

impossible to take the USA rhetoric of freedom seriously when people are snatched off the streets by masked govt agents for writing an op-ed, elected officials are thrown to ground and handcuffed for asking questions, trump believes the govt is his personal plaything and that laws don't apply to him

Just to state the stupidly obvious: This is treatment the United States has subjected HUNDREDS of men to without trial or process, the vast majority of whom have no criminal record of any kind. (Not, of course, that it would be acceptable if they did.)

If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow.

The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.

The Free Speech Administration throwing down arguably the biggest sledgehammer against free thought and association in my lifetime.

I think it's important we call out Nazi tactics wherever they are and whomever they are targeting. Right now, they're being used against immigrants and trans people. If we don't nip it now, it'll be someone else next.

I hate to be that guy, but this is the five-alarm fire, and every elected Democrat and frankly, every Washington reporter should be ringing the bell. If it can happen to him, it can happen to anyone. Nobody with a voice should give this administration a moment’s peace about it.

Opinion | Trump’s Gulag Archipelago Trump is seeking to establish a truly chilling proposition: that no one can stop his administration from imprisoning anyone it wants, anywhere in the world.

We Should All Be Very, Very Afraid. “The administration could create its own gulags with no more judicial review than existed when Stalin did the same thing in the Soviet Union.” [nytimes.com]

“a researcher who was not involved in the study called the results “remarkable” because they highlight a path to a frustratingly elusive goal in medicine — harnessing a person’s own immune defenses to target common solid tumor cancers.”

I’m a German Citizen in 1933, and Is It Just Me or Is It Really Hard to Get Any Work Done Right Now? Guten tag. I’m just wondering if anybody else can relate to this feeling I’ve been having that I just can’t shake. It’s only Tuesday, but what a we...

"There’s still plenty of time left for 1933 to be our year. Politics will come and go, but I’m sure when I look back on this period, what I’ll remember most will be the work that I completed on schedule."

As federal research grants continue to be frozen, and NIH staff is being gutted, please note this study was funded by federal research grants, including from NIH. If they continue with staff cuts, and continue to freeze new awards, this is just one example of what we lose.

Or -- hear me out, this is a pretty wild idea -- instead of cutting anything, they could just raise taxes on corporations and billionaires a little bit and then we'd have plenty of money for everything.

The Washington Post and LA Times editorial pages have gone full MAGA, MSNBC has purged all of its anti-Trump anchors, and Twitter is owned by a literal Nazi. Here's why liberal media bias is still a problem.

What are the odds a media organization is barred from covering Trump for saying Russia invaded Ukraine? Serious question. Why the AP holding the line is so essential.

A MINOR

Watching Turbotax put on a super bowl ad the same week the GOP oligarchs kill Direct File is a bit much.

Tesla paid $0 in federal income tax last year.

2022: $0
2021: $0
2020: $0
2019: $0
2018: $0

Tesla reported $6.7 billion in profit in those years.

The lengths to which the American press is going to describe Donald Trump's Gaza plan in every other way but as ethnic cleansing is quite something

No taxation without representation. If our representatives (ie, Congress) have no authority over the Treasury, why should citizens be compelled to pay into it? Asking for 335 Million friends.

Late last night, with about 15 minutes notice to the Union, the NLRB’s HR sent an email adopting the terms of the forked-up resignation scam. HR also provided us a contract that appears to be drafted by AI or LegalZoom. As labor lawyers, we’re happy to go over this in detail. 🧵
