Karen Bass could have short-circuited this nonsense any time in the last 3 years by having the agencies & commissions run by her appointees issue needed clearances/permits in accordance with the law. Instead she’s letting one of the worst NIMBYs on the Council kill 120 funded & approved apartments.
The key there is *opening day* roster. Don’t think it’s happened since Griffey
Mostly I’m just embarrassed
Two Democratic members of Congress attacked in three days. Maxwell Frost was assaulted on Saturday, Ilan Omar tonight.
Literally EVERYTHING else aside:
Officers involved in shootings - even shootings that everybody agrees were justified - always take time off to emotionally process their experience, go to therapy, process it.
Sending somebody right back out says "this is an everyday part of your job, expect it."
I watched the entire DHS press conference which Bovino just held a few minutes ago. They are tripling down on the fascism. Bovino could not have not been more clear that there is nothing that can't be justified in the name of immigration enforcement, and that there will never be consequences for ICE
Feels like it should be a pretty big deal that a Trump supporter physically assaulted a Democratic congressman
I said this last time but their real position is “if you disagree with us we can kill you.”
AOC on Noem's lies: "They are asking you to give up your belief in your own senses and instead hand over your belief to anything they say ... look at it for yourself and what you will see is an innocent man being executed in the street."
I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.
One year ago, Donald Trump took an oath to serve the American people. Instead, he has focused on using the presidency to enrich himself.

whats missing from all the coverage is that the president is using the military to harass, brutalize and punish areas of the country that didnt vote for him
It’s beyond insane that our overarching internal security agency has spent months tweeting barely-coded messages of support for neo-Nazi groups and the entire media apparatus looks at it and says “That’s odd but certainly not part a major story that is relevant to current events, I’m sure”

What if none of these things is a distraction from the other things and instead they're all just horrible things
Donald Trump is now reposting videos on Truth Social suggesting that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had Melissa Hortman assassinated.
This is objectively evil, and calling it out should not be political.
In case you were wondering, Jack Smith's testimony was the *opposite* of "total exoneration."
Because of a conspiracy theory-based stunt by a January 6 insurrectionist who was trying to intimidate children and daycare workers, Trump is now freezing ALL childcare payments across the country.
You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.
www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
CNN: “Surely you don’t think a daycare should be unlocked.”
SHIRLEY: “There should be a reception area.”
CNN: “No, every day care is locked.”
SHIRLEY: “Fair point.” 🤔
He shows up to a day care with masked men and wonders why they don’t let him in.
It’s really strange the vice president of the United States is a white supremacist, who says white supremacist slogans, who publicly praises and follows the work of white supremacists, and it’s simply not mentioned or discussed in political media
Yes, it’s illegal. Like changing it to Department of War, like ten thousand other things. Part of the Trump strategy is to break the law and convey “the rule of law is weak and feminine and laughable and should be overridden by Our Guy.” Trump is fundamentally anti-law.

Never accept a lecture on decency, civility, or respect from a Trump supporter.
Never tolerate it.
This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.
The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.
This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.
I don’t know how else to say it…
There is no point in debating someone who says a man taking off his shirt as he sits atop his destroyed vessel is a dangerous act that merits an air strike. That person is lying and will lie no matter what you say. At that point you need to tell him that you know he’s lying.
The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.
