The Sociopath-In-Chief couldn't be bothered to even turn his head in the direction of a man in the midst of a medical emergency who collapsed in his office. Completely incapable of empathy, the EPSTEIN Files can't be released soon enough.

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

They gaslit you all throughout the election.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

They were supposed to be deporting “gang members” and “criminals.”

So far, they have kidnapped people working their day jobs and folks lawfully showing up for their immigration court appearances…

It was always a lie.

Does spectacular wealth excuse depravity? Some thoughts on Elon Musk and moral character.

Donald Trump regularly does interviews and just simply says "I don't know."

"Mr. President, do you have to follow the Constitution?"

I don't know? Trump may be in front of you more than Biden, but all he's doing is spewing utter bullshit.

I'm in the mood to pull out my vinyl copy of Greetings From Asbury Park tonight and listen to a true patriot serenade our home.

President Trump fired our nation’s Librarian, Dr. Carla Hayden, by email at 6:56pm tonight, taking his assault on America’s libraries to a new level. Over the course of her tenure, Dr. Hayden brought the Library of Congress to the people, with initiatives that reached into rural communities and made the Library accessible to all Americans, in person and online. While President Trump wants to ban books and tell Americans what to read – or not to read at all, Dr. Hayden has devoted her career to making reading and the pursuit of knowledge available to everyone. Be like Dr. Hayden.

BREAKING: President Trump just fired our nation's Librarian. My statement here:

ICE dragged a mother from her home in Massachusetts—clinging to her baby—without showing a warrant or ID.

When neighbors demanded proof, ICE sneered, “We don’t have to show you anything.”

That’s not law enforcement. That’s state-sponsored kidnapping.
This is fascism & it’s terrifying.

Robert Prevost reposted Cardinal Cupich @CardinalBCu... •6/20/18 There is nothing remotely Christian, American, or morally defensible about a policy that takes children away from their parents and warehouses them in cages. This is being carried out in our name and the shame is on us all.

Adding another notable retweet, this one from 2018 and the height of family separation under Trump 1.0.

Trump says he's unsure whether people in the US are entitled to due process President Donald Trump said he was unsure whether people in the U.S. are entitled to due process rights guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution as his administration pushes aggressively to deport immigrants who are in the country illegally and other non-citizens.

Texas Won’t Study How Its Abortion Ban Impacts Women, So We Did Since Texas banned abortion, no one has studied the statewide effects on pregnant women experiencing complications. Here’s how we sifted through data on millions of pregnancy hospitalizations and…

Earlier this year, ProPublica found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% under Texas’ abortion ban.

Here’s how we did our analysis.

Trump and Bukele’s Concentration Camp CECOT is no regular prison. It is also a warning.

The great @andreapitzer.bsky.social is in @nymag.com, calling CECOT what it is: a bona fide concentration camp

How Trump Plays Into Putin’s Hands, From Ukraine to Slashing U.S. Institutions Many of President Trump’s actions have been seen as benefiting Russia either directly or indirectly, so much so that Russian officials have celebrated some of his moves.

“It’s hard to see how Trump would have acted any differently if he were a Russian asset than how he has acted in the first 100 days of his second term.”

Huh. You don't say.

A Closer Look at Pope Francis’ Favorite Painting (Gift Article) Caravaggio was an artist of rare directness, whose naturalistic pictures brought the heavens down to earth. Our critic Jason Farago shows you what Francis may have seen in them.

This technique is breathtakingly effective. As @nytimes.com author Jason Farago speaks about the artwork, it moves to draw your attention directly to the area to which the author refers.
Absolutely Brilliant!!

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

MMR vaccine doesn’t just prevent measles, mumps, and rubella. It also prevents RFK Jr. from showing up at your child’s funeral to exploit your grief at your most vulnerable moment.

Fear has a way of being contagious.
