Trump’s Voter Citizenship Database Is ‘Flawed’ and Could Lead to Disenfranchisement, Election Administrator Warns Read more here.

NEW: Court filings reveal that states using the Trump administration’s untested citizenship verification system to purge voter rolls may be mistakenly flagging eligible voters at an alarming rate, risking the chance of voters being disenfranchised.

This morning I turned on my phone only to find that it had changed my user name to Shirley, and when I tried to enter a simple Google query it came out as "Do you like gladiator movies?"

Then I realised it was in Airplane! mode.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

The Civil-Military Crisis Is Here The leaders of the U.S. military may soon face a terrible decision.

Nicole Bobek told me to fasten my seatbelt before reading her new memoir. It was a bumpy ride, indeed.

Great column, Phil. Thank you for sharing her story.

I think he doesn't remember her name. He has no idea who she is. A huge memory fail.

Unfortunately, I predict the Trump administration will ignore the ruling.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

When the GOP loses control of the presidency, there needs to be a concerted play to break up these huge mergers and companies. We can NO LONGER allow business interests to decimate our constitutional rights.

Also Epstein files could be released today if Trump said yes

Starting a conversation with “how are you” is wild like whoa that is a third margarita question these days

An Escalation in Every Way Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension from late-night is a chilling precedent that could have deep consequences if it isn’t swiftly undone.

The Invention of “Sesame Street” Renata Adler’s 1972 review of the program that revolutionized children’s television.

Completely sincere and unironic to the point that it’s cheesy but I believe Stephen Colbert is among the best of us

Politics, Not Performance, Killed 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' The end of 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' signals a much bigger shift for late night. But it's not just about money.

There is no question that Colbert’s cancellation is the first direct hit on the 1st Amendment by an authoritarian regime. It won’t be the last. Love or hate Colbert, this is a dark day for the US because this isn’t about Colbert. It’s about our democracy which simply put has died. #ProudBlue #Resist

Thank you for the desperately needed laugh! (Unless, of course, you have lost a relative in a shark attack.)

No better feeling than when a dog or a cat picks you out of a group of people to hang out with, and their owner's always like "awww he likes you" and you play it cool but inside you're just absolutely screaming OF COURSE HE LIKES ME I AM THE CHOSEN ONE

The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Brandon Bradford (@BrandonLBradfor ). The tweet reads: "Deporting Americans without due process then saying they no longer get due process because they aren’t in America means no one has rights, FYI. Nightmare scenario."

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

The entire permanent staff of the Division of Environmental Health Science and Practice was laid off. This division addresses issues such as asthma and air pollution, climate change and health, childhood lead poisoning, and cancer clusters.
