He doesn't want the Washington Post to survive any more than Trump wants the Kennedy Center to thrive or Musk wanted Twitter to serve as a genuine global town square.

They want to co-opt these venerable institutions, and when they can't, they destroy them. Deliberately. And that's what's happening.

The Founders wanted the states to run elections. And they have for 237 years.

Now Donald Trump wants to run them.

Thank you to everyone in CA including the elected officials and voters who successfully accomplished mid-decade redistricting to swiftly counter the attempted theft by Texas.

Action and tangible results are so much better than gripes and strongly worded letters.

Redistricting bill sails through House, faces troubled waters in the Senate - Maryland Matters The House gave final approval Monday to a bill that would redraw the state's eight congressional districts, following an exhaustive four hours of passionate, sometimes personal debate.

This part of the Maryland Matters article on the gerrymander bill:

β€œBill is likely to be assigned to the Rules Committee in the Senate. The committee holds no hearings, does not meet regularly and has no staff. It serves as a legislative island of misfit toys for late-filed or unwanted bills.”

I got another one: Let's say you have a net worth of $500,000. Jeff Bezos spending $100 million a year to maintain the Washington Post would be the equivalent of you spending $200 a year.

In other words, less than $17/month. Roughly the cost of Netflix. To maintain a storied institution.

Let me explain the math behind why the destruction of the Washington Post isn't about money.

The paper is now losing $100 million a year. Jeff Bezos is worth $253 billion. This means he could self-fund the Washington Post for THE NEXT 2,000 YEARS and still have $53 billion LEFT OVER.

Spanberger is a moderate Democrat who used to work for the C.I.-fucking-A. It should put the actions of Schumer and Jeffries into perspective for everyone. Are they Republicans? Because they sure act like it.

Barry Loudermilk retiring in an R+12 district should absolutely freak the hell out of Mike Johnson and House Republicans. He’s only 62β€”and if he’s worried about re-election, a reckoning is coming this November.

Your tax dollars at work, America. FBI agents working around the clock trying to prove Trump won Georgia in 2020 instead of investigating wealthy fraudsters and con artists because they don't get prosecuted anymore since Trump took office.

If you can't stand up for a fellow journalist when she's being ridiculously bullied and demeaned for asking a basic question of a public leader, you sure as hell aren't going stand up for anything as abstract as a national principle or ethos.

American journalism is dying. And with it, our republic.

ICE violently detain a deaf teenagerβ€”accuse him of "not listening" to their orders.

"They thought I was stupidβ€”but NO!" he told rally.

"They shrugged at me, they didn't care because I'm deaf."

Agents did not provide sign language interpreterβ€”then denied him access to bathroom.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Screenshot of a statement posted on CIA.gov reading as follows:

***
One of CIA’s oldest and most recognizable intelligence publications, The World Factbook, has sunset. The World Factbook served the Intelligence Community and the general public as a longstanding, one-stop basic reference about countries and communities around the globe. Let’s take a quick look into the history of The World Factbook.  

Over many decades, The World Factbook evolved from a classified to unclassified, hardcopy to electronic product that added new categories, and even new global entities. The original classified publication, titled The National Basic Intelligence Factbook, launched in 1962. The first unclassified companion version was issued in 1971. A decade later it was renamed The World Factbook. In 1997, The World Factbook went digital and debuted to a worldwide audience on CIA.gov, where it garnered millions of views each year.

The World Factbook appealed to researchers, news organizations, teachers, students, and international travelers. Some readers even inquired whether their preferred geographic designation or world entity could be included on the high-profile site.

Finally, only CIA insiders would know that officers donated some of their personal travel photos to The World Factbook, which hosted more than 5,000 photographs that were copyright-free for anyone to access and use.

Though the World Factbook is gone, in the spirit of its global reach and legacy, we hope you will stay curious about the world and find ways to explore it… in person or virtually.

The CIA World Factbook, a reliable source of information about the countries of the world, has been publicly available since 1997. It is now going away.

Please consider supporting @wikipedia.org and @ourworldindata.org. The world desperately needs trustworthy data.

Trump’s New β€œPrison Camp” Threat Unleashes Fury Even in MAGA Country The next phase of ICE’s big ramp-up: a nationwide network of vast detention facilities. But guess what? Even parts of Red America are saying no.

Bezos is gutting The Washington Post, a move that signifies a strike against information and freedom of the press.

If you can boycott Amazon, please do.

The billionaire class only cares about money and power. Do not support them in any way.

Shop elsewhere. Support local small businesses.

Gentle reminder that many disabled and elderly people can't boycott Amazon.

There's a myriad of reasons the alternatives are less accessible.

Build community care networks instead.

Offer to shop for someone. Deliver goods. Take them to a store.

We're in this together.
