Geez, all he has to do is say, send this guy back. Then El Salvador sends him back. It’s not complicated.

Call this white haired lady ageist, but I wish some of the oldies in Congress and Senate would stand down and make way for the next generation of really capable and energetic Democrats.

It’s like these people have never read the New Testament

Denmark should be our ally, not a country to pick a fight with. After all, they make excellent breakfast pastries

I know how they didn’t delete them. They copied in a journalist who was sure to save everything.

Exclusive | Columbia Is Nearing Agreement to Give Trump What He Wants The school faces a deadline to yield to administration demands, with $400 million in federal funding at stake.

This is bad bad bad bad bad bad very bad no good. www.wsj.com/us-news/educ...

Today Donald Trump attacked me by name in a speech at the Department of Justice. Of course I am worried, but courage comes from acting in spite of being worried. I have made my choice: I will continue to speak out, I will continue to litigate, I will continue to stand tall.

I will never bow down.

I'm Not Running in 2026, But I Am Getting to Work We all have work to do in delivering a better kind of politics for America.

I care deeply about who Michigan will elect as Governor and send to the U.S. Senate next year, but I have decided against competing in either race.

I wrote more here about my decision and how I view the work required of us all in this moment:

We Democrats have one bit of leverage, the cloture vote, and some of our senators are giving it up and getting NOTHING in return. It’s like they don’t know how to negotiate.

It’s important to put a face to what canceling funding means. And to state the obvious, the government’s action against Columbia has nothing to do with fighting antisemitism.

After yesterday's events in the White House, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway's largest marine fuel companies, appears to have announced that it will no longer refuel American Navy vessels.

Haltbakk has called on other European companies to refuse service to American forces.

There are Congressional Republicans who are unhappy with DOGE, unhappy with Trump, unhappy with what happened in the Oval Office with Ukraine. But so far they have taken no action beyond some concern troll tweets.

Any 4 R senators and even fewer House Rs have enormous power but so far not using it.

We should be so proud of the NIH intramural program. The intramural scientists I know are brilliant, dedicated and productive. And now, it’s being destroyed.

Great thread on the budget process by someone who
knows it well

Here is California.

This is great!

Buffalo Springfield were so clean cut (sweet glimpse of Neil Young!) with a perfect counterculture song. Wish the song was a quaint throwback instead of 100% spot-on for our times.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

I think this must be from the New York Times style guide

Any article on this topic is garbage if it doesn’t point out that General Brown and Admiral Franchetti are wildly capable and accomplished, and Trump and Hegseth are not worthy to shine their shoes

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here?


JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here

TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply?

JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law

T: You better do it bc you're not gonna get any federal funding at all

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance.

Democracy requires your courage.

Popping in with my usual reminder to register your discontent with your GOP electeds even and especially when you think they don't care/won't do what you ask

They may do this fuckery anyway, but they don't have to do it without your express fucking objections

One way to think about the DOGE effort is it's an outgrowth of 20 years of hardliner conservatives frustrated by their inability to get the votes in Congress to do what they want to do. 1/
