NEW: Sen Whitehouse is asking for the following info on the sex offender status waiver and subsequent transfer of Ghislaine Maxwell. I got some of these answers in my reporting. If you work at BOP & have the answers, my signal is in my bio. I’ll keep you anonymous. open.substack.com/pub/muellers...

Raskin: In any event, if he really cared about public safety in DC… he would not have pardoned 1600 insurrectionists and violent cop beaters on his first day in office. 

DC statehood is now an imperative. No more dicking around. Next Dem majority, get it done immediately.

I just saw a kindergarten mom in tears on TikTok because her child’s classroom wasn’t filled with rugs and lamps and bins full of fun things...

It’s important to understand what a state-funded classroom looks like versus a teacher-funded classroom. Your beef is with the state, not the teacher.

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

Play it loud

YouTube video by Seth Abramson Hounds, “Hands Off DC”

In preparation for what is going to happen at 10AM tomorrow in DC, Hounds has released this song.

It’ll be on streaming services on Tuesday.

So... this is the loudest, hardest-driving, most unforgiving Hounds song ever released. And it’s extremely NSFW.

But the situation calls for such an anthem.

Trump orders homeless he passed en route to golf course to leave Washington DC President demands unhoused residents leave US capital or face eviction and vowed to use officers to make arrests

Here’s a great article on the racist, fascist, anti-American madness and violence Trump is about to unleash in a city with *plummeting* crime rates and *no* epidemic of unhoused persons.

This is thinly veiled martial law, and we Americans will not accept it.

Prepare yourselves for scenes of Trump agents roughing up *citizens* in the streets of DC this week.

America will look like Russia in the eyes of the world once Trump issues his takeover-by-force order in a capital city where crime is actually plummeting, not rising.

He’s sick.

It’s coming up on the anniversary of the August 12, 2017 Charlottesville Unite the Right Rally, when James Fields drove his car through a crowd, killing Heather Heyer and injuring dozens. I was a medic that day on a unit that cared for and transported several people, including Ms. Heyer.

I feel I must inform you that @keithedwards.bsky.social is now calling Stephen Miller "Pee Wee German." www.instagram.com/reel/DNJS2WS...

Karl: The transformation has been gradual and unmistakable.

By February, some golden urns on the mantle.

April, gold adornments appear on the walls.

By July, it's gold everywhere.

Just this week more scaffolding popped up, even more new gold trim appeared.

I missed the part where blowing hundreds of millions in taxpayer money on gaudy, unnecessary White House upgrades counts as “cutting waste, fraud, and abuse.” Or did we just drop that whole narrative?

STFU, RFK Jr, you ridiculous idiot. You don't care about the wellbeing of patients. You care about politics. You are actively undermining doctors' ability to protect their patients from measles and COVID. Your party forces women who have miscarried to bleed out in parking lots over your politics.

Mark Kelly: "I hope we got something out of this. Putin is a war criminal. This is not a show of strength to allow him to fly into the United States to land here to negotiate with our president."

NEW: RFK Jr. is implementing crazy anti-vax policies that Trump's first surgeon general says will lead to deaths. Who deserves some of the blame for this? Dr. Bill Cassidy, a GOP senator. I write about this in the new issue of my OUR LAND newsletter.

This is like the insurrectionists seizing our capital.

Something approaching martial law in Washington.

He wants to turn D.C. into an armed fortress because he wants Democratic politicians to feel like they're in his house, he wants to subjugate Black citizens, and he's preparing for martial law.

The CDC shooter was fixated on vaccine conspiracy theories. He shot at the CDC and killed a police officer. RFK Jr., through his antivax group, funded the pseudoscience propaganda film PIandemic, a key driver of false vaccine claims. It is beyond inappropriate for him to remain in office.

The shooting in Atlanta proves we have a gun & mental health crisis Republicans ignore & Trump & RFK, Jr. are feeding into it by propagating lies about vaccines. They need to cease & desist. Innocent people who work to save the lives of millions shouldn't have to fear for theirs.

We still have not felt enough pain for putting this administration in power. Red Voters have more coming and it’s unfortunate that the rest of us are along for the ride.

Tony

I have to agree as well.

Seeing ads for U-pick fruit. 👀 Ain’t no WAY my brown ass is going anywhere near a field of fruit right now.

US to rewrite its past national climate reports US President Donald Trump's administration is revising past editions of the nation's premier climate report -- its latest move to undermine the scientific consensus on human-caused global warming.

The Trump administration has announced that the US will rewrite past climate reports, in a clear attempt to erase scientific history and undermine the consensus on human-caused climate change.

Let me repeat it! 👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏼👇🏽

America First = America Alone, and anyone who thinks America is better off alone is profoundly ignorant.

What are we even doing here, people?
