Buttigieg on Fox News: "When you see an American woman opening the door to her home and on her doorstep finds half a dozen federal agents in tactical gear that is more tricked out than what I would take outside the wire in Afghanistan -- I think most people get that that is wrong."
Let us not forget that the guy firing & charging prosecutors, pardoning insurrectionists, & ignoring the Constitution has something no other President in the history of the United States has:
A mug shot.
Proud papa moment: my son J published a letter in the @nytimes.com today (in print tomorrow) on the need to think our definitions of autism.
Sounds like a State police uniform that they’ve had forever.
Many thousands of people gathered on Boston Common for the "No Kings" protest rally, which is just one of dozens of demonstrations across Massachusetts today. Here are some of the sights and sounds. https://www.wcvb.com/article/no-kings-boston-trump-protest-updates/69078355
@warren.senate.gov @edmarkey.bsky.social @massgovernor.bsky.social when are controls going to be put on ice?
We will all mourn eventually. Even the long list of those who murdered our foundational freedom.
Some personal news:
I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting.
Thread incoming.

Today’s act of political violence in Utah against Charlie Kirk is absolutely disgusting and unacceptable.
We don’t have to agree on everything, but we should all agree on this: political violence is wrong, and has no place in our democracy
I’m glad Minnesota has you. I wish the country had chosen you too. 💞💞
“I was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that island… and I was not the only girl on that island… Ghislaine must die in prison, because I’ve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.”
Listen to the survivors.
It isn’t normal for a president to repeatedly threaten the use of military force against American citizens. Treating the National Guard as a political pawn disrespects those who serve and undermines public trust in our military.
WATCH: “WE WERE LIED TO.”
@tnbrando.bsky.social on the shady vote in MASON, TN last night where the mayor & board approved ICE/CORE CIVIC detention facility contracts after telling the crowd they had rejected them… then changing the result when they left.🤔

There’s a word this administration keeps throwing around that should worry you: “Liberation.” Kristi Noem said in Los Angeles, “We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country.”
@hellofresh.bsky.social how does someone get off your mailing list? I canceled for a reason. You’re like an ex that won’t take “no” for an answer!

Today’s front page of The National, a Scottish newspaper.
People exploding this false messaging that I voted for a bill + funding that I quite literally voted NO on. The threat environment this morning is scary.
Doesn’t help anyone. Drag me for the position if you disagree but don’t lie. It’s out of control. Saying I voted for this funding is false.
A win! The Department of Veterans Affairs announced that it no longer plans a large-scale staff reduction.
Rep. @aoc.bsky.social on ny1 : “People are going to get sick and go hungry… They’re giving people crumbs and taking away the whole loaf… One of the saddest days in 🇺🇸 history.”

Some people are working on gathering at the Capitol steps to show support for Representative Hakeem Jeffries of New York. If you can’t be there in person, you can still show your support from wherever you are.
ICEblock, which allows users to alert others to the geographical location of ICE officers, is the top social networking app in the App Store right now after Karoline Leavitt condemned it from the podium yesterday.
Are you the keeper of the posts? Don’t tell me what I need to be enraged at. I’d love to not be enraged on the daily. But when Congress and scotus are letting this country be destroyed, imma gonna stay enraged.
*this* was the call? THIS??? Oh ffs, Senator.
Call them out! On the floor. “As Senator so & so told me earlier today..,”. Stop protecting them.
BREAKING: In response to today's Supreme Court ruling, we filed a nationwide class-action lawsuit against the Trump administration’s executive order restricting birthright citizenship.
Birthright citizenship makes our country strong and dynamic. We are using every tool in our toolkit to defend it.
They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida.
If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.
