A draft executive order circulated by some conservative activists claims that if President Trump declared a national emergency, it would grant him sweeping authority over elections. @annabower.bsky.social and @mollyroberts.bsky.social investigate the legality of the order.
Death threats just because I spoke the truth about what Trump is doing
WaPo Deputy Opinion Editor is just straight up lying about Mamdani's estate tax proposal (in both tweets and an op-ed).
The bill contains a $1.75 million primary residence exemption, exempts retirement accounts, and the 50% marginal rate doesn’t kick in until $30 million.
Must have been a shocking discovery.
Get off Twitter and delete your accounts. It’s unsafe. My account got stolen and it could happen to you too

The Morrill Fire in Nebraska has killed 1 and consumed 549,000 acres with 0% containment. This is more than 10% of the entire area burned by U.S. wildfires in 2025, and makes it one of the 20 largest fires in U.S. history. Sunday forecast is grim: High Wind Warning, 25-35 mph winds, gusting to 50.
All this was a choice. I can’t get over how all of this was a choice. A plurality of American voters saw corruption, bigotry, pandemic, economic crisis, coup attempt, and criminal conviction, then opted for more.
Pennsylvania Dems tried that with Fetterman…
It’s crazy that he is negotiating on behalf of the U.S. at all. He has no government appointment and no one elected him and he has no business being in those meetings even without the grift
Don't. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.
Jared Kushner holds no government position at all. He is not a Senate-confirmed political appointee & his "special peace envoy" job is completely fake. This is wildly illegal & unconstitutional nepotistic corruption. Stop normalizing it in the papers.

Clearly the worst. The worst President and the worst person to be President.
"I ASSUMED the US Military had an active plan to open the Strait." How can people who are paid to understand geopolitics be so bafflingly naive?
LBJ was actually concerned about the loss of life during Vietnam. Trump is incapable of concern about anyone or anything except himself.
I look forward to seeing Jared Kushner go to prison for a long time.
He’s running.
BROKERING THE DEAL is when my brain melted, if you want to know.
Shut up and dribble.
I thought we had run out of targets?
“Measles in Utah is raging through unvaccinated children in several communities”.
“Since measles began spreading in Utah last summer, state health officials have barely acknowledged it”.
“We’re trying to find ways of tweaking the message”
“Few seem to be listening”.
Stuff.
The latter, I think.
Do Katie and Cory share the same galaxy-brains?
Well-paid consultants.
How many generals have resigned?
We’re not helping Ukraine.
Picky picky.
Even if it was good policy, no one will believe that Democrats would do this. It’s lose-lose.
