Tweet From Obama mentioning my firing from the Washington post. Wirh a photo of me

Tweet From Obama mentioning my firing from the Washington post. Wirh a photo of me

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama.

His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful.

Now he is tweeting in support of me.

This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*.

Or used to work.

A Senator requested that Kennedy be formally sworn in as a witness, given that his past statements appear to have been false.

The committee chair rejected this request. That means there is little consequence if he lied in testimony today.

Survey stakes are in the ground at the San Rafael Valley, where DHS is preparing to wall off the last best corridor in Arizona for jaguars, ocelots & other species. Not a soul in sight.

Denying famine, Israel threatens more curbs on Gaza aid Despite experts saying that famine has begun in Gaza, Israel is threatening more curbs on aid deliveries. Aid groups say extra restrictions will make the starvation crisis worse.

If Trump’s right, and Putin wants to β€˜solve the problem’ in Ukraine, why won’t he withdraw? There's a way to end the war in Ukraine quickly, cheaply and without bloodshed: Russia could withdraw. It's the solution the White House isn't pushing.

I’m mindful of the fact that this is obvious to the point of being reductive, but there’s a way to end the war in Ukraine that’s quick, cheap, bloodless, and easy:

Russia could just withdraw.

It’s a point that’s too often left out of the conversation. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

The Trump regime is blocking release of the Epstein files after promising their release.
It's giving preferential treatment to child molester Ghislaine Maxwell in hopes she won't reveal Trump's connection to the scandal.
Keep reminding people about this. It matters.

Some scientists believe there is a greater chance that society will have collapsed by then. So we won't be using the power grid then anyway.

Another ICE "assault" case unravels. Border Patrol and ICE are arresting US citizens and then after they find out that they are US citizens, they are charging them with "assault" to justify their actions. This is clearly DHS policy at this point. We've seen it repeatedly now.

"Nearly half of white students admitted to Harvard between 2009 and 2014 were legacy students or Dean’s Interest Listβ€”a list of applicants whose relatives have donated to Harvard, the existence of which only became public knowledge in 2018"
