We stand in solidarity with the @postguild.bsky.social. Democracy dies in darkness, and it's a lot harder to shine a light from a shrinking newsroom. #SaveThePost

Rams *have* to invest in the secondary this offseason. we can’t win games like this with what we’ve got.

Opinion | State Terror Has Arrived Minneapolis has made it plain.

The Trump administration seeks to induce β€œconstant fear β€” a fear of violence from which some people may at a given moment be spared, but from which no one will ever be truly safe,” writes our columnist M. Gessen. β€œState terror has arrived.”

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

β€œWe are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the β€˜hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. 

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

Opinion | How Trump Has Used the Presidency to Make at Least $1.4 Billion The president took an oath to serve the American people. Instead, he’s focused his second term on enriching himself and his family.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

One year ago, President Trump took an oath to serve the American people. Instead, he used the presidency to enrich himself, the @nytimes editorial board writes. This is how Trump has pocketed at least $1.4 billion.
