I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

This is your regular reminder that authoritarianism is just domestic abuse writ large.

What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?

Let’s Call a Murder a Murder Caitlin Callenson’s courage in the face of insane danger is just remarkable.

Callenson had the courage and conviction to stay with the scene and keep filming. Not to run away, but instead to follow the scene. To continue documenting what was unfolding.

I'd like to think I'd have done the same. I'm not sure at all that I would have.

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"

You can disagree and argue as much as you like but the point of evaluating something scientifically is that not every statement should be given equal credence because evidence matters

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

Trump is not America First. He is Russia First, Qatar Second, Argentina Third. Not sure if America even makes it into the top 10.

Please remember this in the days going forward:

Everything going forward could have been avoided if Republican Congress members simply did their job and obeyed their oath to the Constitution.

It’s that simple. They abandoned the country. They can say what they want, but that’s what happened.

The Speaker of the House has learned that the President worked for decades behind the scenes on a secret strike force to take down the world's most notorious pedophile.

He planned the announcement for maximum impact: responding to a guy yelling at him in a hallway with at 5:30 p.m. on a Friday.

We are outraged and deeply distressed that armed federal agents came onto our campusβ€”making arrests on the very ground where, in 1942, Japanese American families were forced to board buses bound for concentration camps. It was a deliberate act of provocation and intimidation.

This is devastating, and part of a larger move to entirely push science out of NASA's mission. It is horrific betrayal of so much work, not to mention the fact that it violates NASA's charter.
