In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Air travel has traditionally been the safest way to travel, but the number of crashes and incidents in the last weeks needs serious investigation and oversight.

What we should not be doing is firing skilled FAA technicians and staff – we need to hire MORE of them.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

ICE Raid in New Jersey Sweeps Up U.S. Citizens Along With Undocumented Immigrants A U.S. military veteran was reportedly among those detained

“Show your papers” is now a reality in the U.S. as ICE advises Americans to prove their status if they get caught in a raid.

Somewhere in northern Virginia, James Comey is scrolling the same news feed as you and saying "oops, my fault... yeah, that was me... hm, sorry about that one."

The past several days have proven without a shadow of a doubt that Project 2025 is real and underway.

And those who warned America about it were right.

NEW: After some agencies tempered the language of the DEIA snitch email, OPM is now testing a government wide distribution system so they can circumvent agency chiefs and threaten employees directly. They had to send a 2nd email assuring folks the first wasn’t a phishing scam.

2025 has been my least favorite decade so far.

Right out of the gate they are detaining U.S. citizens and saying their “papers”are fake. It was always a lie.

Trump ends federal contractor civil rights order with roots that go back to FDR In revoking Executive Order 11246, Trump took aim at history and efforts to combat discrimination. Also: Trump's effort to end birthright citizenship is blocked for now.

I spent a decade on and off reporting on one of the executive orders that Trump revoked on Tuesday: Executive Order 11246, signed by LBJ in 1965.

Because of that, I took a minute and wrote down some thoughts to explain just how awful this is — and how ahistorical Trump’s claims are.

Trump wants you to feel fear.

Don’t. Laugh at him instead.

He hates that.

For the love of God

Don't treat the death of democratic elections (however deeply imperfect) as a foregone conclusion.

THAT IS WHAT THE FASCISTS WANT

Trump gets in bed with the Chinese owners, and suddenly Tik Tok isn’t “evil CCP compromised” anymore. These people believe in nothing. What Trump decides today is what they believe in today. Which changes tomorrow if Trump makes a deal with someone else to enrich himself.

This is the only man I'll be honoring on January 20th, 2025.

Why Trump Can’t Just End Birthright Citizenship There are numerous roadblocks, starting with the Constitution.

Re-upping this piece on why a president cannot simply end birthright citizenship, which is guranateed by the 14th Amendment. Ending it lawfully requires a constitutional amendment. I expect Trump’s EO will be challenged immediately.

The inverted flag isn’t disrespect — it’s a distress signal from naval traditions, used to show grave danger to life or property.

With a lawless man set to take power after attempting to overthrow the government, America is in extreme danger.

That’s why I’m posting it today.
