Art of the deal 🤷🏼

We also now have a better idea of who on our "side" (defining that extremely loosely) doesn't have any fixed standards for candidate but will tie themselves into knots to dismiss glaring flaws.

DHS says our new piece is "dishonest, slanted, and fundamentally inaccurate" but won't say why. Here's the story where we show with evidence that DHS spliced together clips spanning years and multiple locations to create its own reality. Gift link wapo.st/4nuDGwf

I wonder how many people remember what the Citizen’s Councils were?

NEW: Salt water laced with cancer-causing chemicals, a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, keeps shooting out of the ground in Oklahoma.

Experts say it means even more wastewater is spreading underground, poisoning the state’s water supply.

How can this be legal?

I bitch about headlines a lot so credit where it's due, this is excellent.

Trump Isn’t Easing the Shutdown Pain—He’s Inflicting It Mike Johnson says the president is protecting Americans from the shutdown. That’s completely wrong.

During a recent press briefing, Speaker Mike Johnson used the word "pain" fourteen times to describe what Democrats were imposing and Republicans were trying to relieve. Yeah, no. @saletan.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-isnt...

I’ll take it

Donald Trump is telling his DOJ to prosecute people involved in defeating him in 2020. He will claim the 2025 California referendum was fraudulent. He is going to try to impose voter ID and ban mail-in and early voting for 2026.

I will do everything I can in the courtroom and in public to stop him.
