Ask yourself:

Why would anyone who wasn’t an asset of the Russian government do this?

Why would any decent human being do this?

When you have to get news about Constitutional breaches via foreign news outlets, that’s how you know you’re no longer living in a democracy.

Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

These numbers suck, but by the way things are going, they’re going to look like Trump’s presidential high.

Miami Beach mayor moves to end O Cinema lease after screening of Israeli-Palestinian film Meiner is introducing city legislation that seeks to terminate the lease agreement with the cinema, which rents space from the city.

A theater screened the Oscar-winning documentary NO OTHER LAND, so...the Miami Beach mayor is ending the theater's lease.

Free speech warriors, where you at? Bari Weiss and the Free Press? Anyone?

Elon Musk Has Wanted the Government Shutdown Sources tell WIRED that Elon Musk has wanted a government shutdown in part because it would potentially make it easier to eliminate the jobs of hundreds of thousands of federal workers.

It’s been a busy few weeks at WIRED, and we’re just getting started. Many of you have asked how you can support our journalism in a bigger way, so we’ve introduced a new option for WIRED Superfans: wrd.cm/superfan-blu...

Thanks for supporting our work.

Maybe the Sleepy President Wasn’t So Bad! When Trump said he would lower costs, we didn’t realize he meant the cost of stocks.

The Founders were well aware of the gravity of the charge of treason, and that it could be abused for political reasons. And so they could have foreseen Musk's denunciation of Sen. Kelly.

EXCLUSIVE: Trump Makes Aggressive New Claim of Executive Power To Circumvent The Senate The Trump White House has taken its attempt to seize direct control...

Few realize what happened at USADF (not USAID).

The situation got so tense that Trump and Musk's agents threatened to call the Marshals _and_ Secret Service to resolve the standoff...by force.

It turns out that what they were doing was illegalβ€”in fact, the most illegal thing "DOGE" has done yet.
