He is not well.

If someone’s grandpa posted this on Facebook, the family would be discussing assisted living by dinner.

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

If the #US for business reasons sells out Ukraine and European security ... this would imply the destruction, I would say, of the West as we know it."

22 illegal US military boat strikes have killed at least 87 people, yet the Trump administration won't provide its justification. Americans deserve to see the evidence supporting this violence. Transparency isn't optional when lives are lost. Release the memo now! #NoForeverWars

This is actually a good example of why the customer model is wrong.

I wouldn't have chosen poetry writing, but UNC made me take a class. And it absolutely made me become a much better writer, with an eye to concision and an ear now trained to the rhythm of words. I'm a better historian as a result.

ICE is going after people who commit fewer crimes than U.S. born citizens. They're robbing people, hurting people, using racial profiling, violating due process, hurting children, and going after American citizens while they do. This is an illegal criminal enterprise from head to toe.

Torture Techniques from CIA Black Sites Were Used at Alligator Alcatraz Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

One of the best things about no longer being on Twitter/X is that U.S. government officials aren’t active here.

From what I can tell the most senior members of the Trump administration just post unvarnished racism all day, every day on X.

Glad I moved on.

What if we all just start calling our representatives and the White House and any other associated government agencies demanding the release of the Epstein Files? We could also boycott all Trump donors until they release the files. We must make it known beyond social media that we are done waiting.

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.

Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyrannyβ€”they’re currently enabling it.

When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

Hundreds Rally for Boy, 6, Who Was Separated From His Father by ICE

If you're in the White House press corps, still showing up to your job every day and not saying anything as Trump attacks your colleagues -- almost always women, I'd add -- then this is on you as well.

Say what you will about the rumored imminent firing of Kristi Noem, but she's had an unexpectedly long run. I would have guessed she'd be in the job for fewer months than the number of dogs she's killed.

A Republican president once picked Ben Bernankeβ€”a future Nobel laureateβ€”because expertise mattered more than spin. That norm, picking Fed chairs for brains not loyalty, does more to protect your paycheck than any campaign slogan.

AOC: Trump is less popular than ever. He is underwater on virtually every issue. If you oppose and are disgusted by what this admin is doing, you are in company of majority of Americans. You are not alone.

More people disapprove and are opposed to Trump than in support. Those are the numbers."
