It looks like DC is selling out Nats Park for the Bruce Springsteen “No Kings” tour finale. (Except for the irrationally priced “platinum tickets.”) He did not sell it out last time he was here. This is gonna be good.

Gorsuch is a blowhard and a buffoon

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.

"It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Speaker Johnson denies request for Jesse Jackson to lie in honor at the Capitol The Republican-led House said Jesse Jackson cannot lie in honor in the U.S. Capitol. The NAACP criticized the decision.

House Speaker Mike Johnson denied a request for the late Jesse Jackson to lie in honor at the U.S. Capitol.

“Mike Johnson will defend a president who wants to unlawfully nationalize elections but won’t authorize a civil rights legend to lie in honor,” said NAACP President Derrick Johnson.

Now that’s a team that knows how to tank. Starting to worry about our own position, especially if Trae is coming back

Scoop: "Judge" Jeanine has empanelled a grand jury in DC to indict Supreme Court Justices. Charges to be determined later.

I just wish it wasn’t completely based on blind quotes, but I don’t hear a false note among them.

A warrant “every time”? So unfair! So, uh, legally required.

Friends, please track down and watch “The Apostle,” a film Duvall worked for many years to get made and will truly blow you away.

I want to weep for Ilia Malinin. Seems like such a good kid. Just wasn’t his day. Man that was tough to watch. #quadgod #2030olympics

Feel obligated to report that I am in The Epstein Files. A reference in someone’s resume to a story I wrote in 2017 about sex trafficking and Backpage. My career is now complete.

Don’t think I’ve ever shown my ID to get on any train anywhere, but especially Amtrak and Metro

‘Dean’ of DC crime beat on importance of local coverage: ‘People want to know what’s going on in their community’ - WTOP News With Wednesday’s announcement that the Washington Post laid off one-third of its staff, WTOP asked a former reporter about the importance of crime coverage.

With the cuts at the Post, had to talk w legendary @tomjackmanwp.bsky.social about the importance of covering local crime and courts. I chased his stories for years — nobody did it better. wtop.com/local/2026/0...

Democracy dies of heatstroke.
What a tool Bezos is--imagining having that kind of money and still being afraid of Dear Leader.

Jeff Bezos said this in Feb. 2019, when his words often gave us reassurance that he had everyone's back, even after several years of Trump I. What happened?

Very sorry Sam, you did great work and didn’t deserve this.

What an atrocious, disgusting act by Bezos, Will Lewis and Matt Murray. Crushed for all my friends and colleagues wrongly laid off today, sad for all Post readers who lose so much quality journalism.

“Unconscionable,” Jon thought as he found an email address online for the lead prosecutor, Joseph Dernbach, who was named in the story. Peering through metal-rimmed glasses, Jon opened Gmail on his computer monitor. “Mr. Dernbach, don’t play Russian roulette with H’s life,” he wrote. “Err on the side of caution. There’s a reason the US government along with many other governments don’t recognise the Taliban. Apply principles of common sense and decency.” That was it. In five minutes, Jon said, he finished the note, signed his first and last name, pressed send and hoped his plea would make a difference. Five hours and one minute later, Jon was watching TV with his wife when an email popped up in his inbox. He noticed it on his phone. “Google,” the message read, “has received legal process from a Law Enforcement authority compelling the release of information related to your Google Account.”

A retiree wrote this email to a DHS attorney. Within five hours, DHS demanded Google turn over records for his account.

A Kafkaesque form of domestic surveillance, intimidating Americans for lawful speech.

It's excruciating to watch Jeff Bezos dangle massive layoffs over the immensely talented Local and Sports staffs of the @washingtonpost. The Local staff has been steadily reduced for years, despite constantly great reporting, and Sports is the reason I buy the paper. #SavethePost

Judges showboating on social media is such a thing

In case you’re wondering why Trump & his lackeys always lie about numbers, there is a perverse and effective logic behind it. Lying works for them. Watch Angela Lansbury explain it in my favorite scene from The Manchurian Candidate. Her resemblance to Susie Wiles makes it even better.

Justice Dept. demotes Ed Martin, stripping Trump ally of most authority Top Justice Department officials have stripped Ed Martin of the bulk of his expansive responsibilities.

Breaking news: Top Justice Department officials have stripped Ed Martin of most of his expansive responsibilities, sidelining the staunch Trump ally from many of the controversial investigations he has championed.

Mom has clearly adopted the “Just lie” philosophy of the Trump admin

More like Jelly Cracker amirite? #GRAMMYs

Just lie. If the truth doesn’t reflect well on you, just lie. A strategy that has spread widely in this administration.
