To everyone I know who works at a media outlet covering national news:

The primary headline on your website today, or in-print tomorrow, really ought to be:

Trump: 'We took the freedom of speech away'

If it's not, I'd like an explanation why not.

Agreed. Any outlet that framed its coverage of Bondi’s hearing with a headline like that needs a new editor-in-chief. I spent much of my life writing headlines for newspapers and magazines, and it’s quite obvious the hed should be something like β€œBondi evades questions, insults Senators”

Miller is lying in order to get you (and β€œlow-info voters”) to give up. Without surrender, Miller and the rest of the regime got nothing. They believe you will believe their lies and conquer yourself. But they can’t conquer you if you don’t believe them.

DJT’s administration is as bad as ISIS. And I can also say that with a completely straight face.

He’s not confused AT ALL. He and DJT do not even ACKNOWLEDGE the law, much less follow it.

If it doesn’t have chocolate in it, it’s not really Nestle.

Why isn’t the National Guard invading Mar-A-Lago? I’ve heard people are murdered there every night. And since, per Rep. Moore below, a spurious accusation is all that’s needed to invade, we should send in the troops. I’m sure Mar-A-Lago will be happy with the outcome. Right, Riley?

Why is the National Guard not invading Mar-A-Lago? I’ve heard people are murdered there every night. And since apparently a spurious accusation is all that’s needed for an invasion, we should send troops in there immediately. Right, Riley?

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city.

They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

To Stephen Miller: If you can't see that since you’ve taken office, there's been an organized, systemized campaign to delegitimatize, dehumanize, threaten, impede, obstruct, and physically assault LAWFUL US CITIZENS, then I can't persuade you of it. But I’ll damn sure call you out on it EVERY TIME.

Stephen Miller is a dangerous madman living in a world of his own making. I really can’t believe there isn’t more discourse around the madness we are witnessing each day.

Yes. It’s also time for the invaded states to defend themselves against the lawless invaders.

Trump's invasion This weekend marked a major escalation of his campaign of terror.

"Simply put, one state cannot invade another. This is something so central to American democracy that you don’t even need some sort of legal explanation as to the underpinnings."

Croy & the Boys are one of Austin’s best music acts. Leader Corey Baum is gloriously outspoken.

We ARE speaking up. Now the brave men and women who serve in our national guards must step up and refuse these illegal orders.

All Texas Guardsmen who participate rather than resigning are complicit in the crimes they are being ordered to commit.
