Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger retires Friday, after rebuilding department in wake of Capitol riot Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger, who's led the department since the Capitol riot, spoke with CBS News before his retirement.

Capitol Police chief blasts Jan 6 conspiracy theories:

“My folks were here on Jan. 6.. They were assaulted.. Many of them were injured. They know exactly what happened on Jan. 6. For somebody to make up some story that, 'Oh, it wasn't that bad’..it is just not true”

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few:
1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

Tell Congress: BLOCK Trump’s $400 million bribe! Two weeks ago, news broke that Trump is building a $5.5 billion golf club in Qatar. [3] Now, Qatar is offering Trump a $400 million jet to use as Air Force One, and then keep for personal use after hi...

A screenshot of a ChatGPT conversation reading: "can you write something about robert e. lee in the voice of washington post staff writer gillian brockell?" "Certainly! Here's an excerpt written in the voice of Gillian Brockell, a staff writer at The Washington Post, reflecting on Robert E. Lee's legacy: The Complicated Legacy of Robert E. Lee: A Figure Divided by History By Gillian Brockell When Robert E. Lee's name is invoked, it is often as a symbol of Southern pride military brilliance, or a tragic, doomed cause. But history has a way of shifting its lens, and in recent years, the image of Lee -- the Confederate general, the hero of lost causes -- has become increasingly more fraught. The man who stood as the face of a rebellion that tore the nation apart now stands at the center of an ongoing reckoning over the Confederacy's legacy, and our struggle to reconcile memory with reality."

When I left the Washington Post in 2023, my colleagues and I were worried AI would hoover up our work and enable "zombies" to churn out stories based on our reporting and writing styles.

Today WaPo announced a partnership with OpenAI. And here it is: Zombie Gillian Brockell. I DID NOT WRITE THIS.

The Bully-in-Chief Targets an Ally Zelenskyy resists and refuses to kiss the ring

Just posted by President Zelenskyy

Per @chrisdjackson.bsky.social on another platform:

“It took me 30 seconds to find at least ten postings from Zelensky directly thanking the United States for their support. There are many more.

This is pure BS.”

Trump and Vance needed to create an incident to provide a justification for their pre-planned abandonment of Ukraine now, then separation from NATO in the near future. That’s what that was all about, and that was always the way a second Trump term was going to go.

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...

From Bruce Lindner:

Dear Republicans;

We get it. You all saw what he did to Liz Cheney, and you don’t want that to happen to you. Short of outright political banishment, if you displease him in the slightest, he might even mean-tweet you from his golf cart in Florida.

“Under what authority are you directing us to do this?”

Not even six hours apart.

Mitch McConnell doesn’t get off the hook because he voted against RFK Jr. He played a big part in bringing Trump back into power. Hard pass on anything he has to say. It’s to late. He had his chance.

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important

This is wrong. The government should not be able to interfere with private business practices.

This is beyond cruel. It’s pure evil.

When you solve for the wrong problem, not only do you not get the solution, you can cause harm. The President wasted water that was being saved for farmers for a PR stunt.

This was harmful, ludicrous, and solved nothing.

They aren’t even trying to hide it.

Dying in darkness. 🇺🇸

As a casual non-white observer, it’s so bizarre to see folks work so hard to try to prove their superiority over someone like me when they could spend that time actually bettering their own lives and…I don’t know, be happy instead of miserable fucks.

Privatize everything so they can make money off everything and gouge the people for everything. The dismantling of our government and society and leaving behind the most vulnerable.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

Outstanding post and sickening at the same time. I hate this Trump regime and their bigoted cult.
