Pastrami Soup 🥩

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Mario Guevara

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you…

Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest.

The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Can you fucking believe how The Washington Post frames what SCOTUS did today?

Compare to how Democracy Docket describes and sign-up to support independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

dems honestly should not wait till the midterms to dump their shitty congressional leadership

YouTube video by Associated Press LIVE: CDC staff plan walkout at Atlanta HQ after Trump firings

AP Livestream - CDC coming out in force to support our ousted leaders.

Jeanine Pirro @JudgeJeanine X.com Assault a law enforcement officer, and you'll be prosecuted. This guy thought it was funny—well, he doesn't think it's funny today, because we charged him with a felony.

Update: it got funny again

Every lawyer should get the day off in observance of the fact that they actually failed to indict a ham sandwich

What’s going on with my “boys,” and sometimes “gals,” being able to carry

Does make me wonder, at what point are they going to try to get rid of grand juries altogether?

Senate Democrats’ Abandonment of Adeel Mangi Made Emil Bove’s Confirmation Possible Senate Democrats could have confirmed Biden nominee Adeel Mangi to the Third Circuit last year. They caved to a disgraceful right-wing smear campaign instead.

The lesson for Democrats of the last four years is that if you don't use power when you have it, your opponents will happily use it instead

Liberals say that the United States has gone from being a democracy to being a dictatorship. They're wrong—it's gone from being a republic to being a dictatorship.

setting aside how heinous this message is, these people stay scared and it’s so funny. 😂 I’m massively pregnant and commute to downtown ATL everyday via train and the only time anyone ever talks to me is to ask how I’m doing lol

Why are 90% of op-eds scolding liberals for the way they talk about threats to democracy rather than scolding conservatives for threatening democracy

You’ve got chimney sweeps, newsboys, mudlarks, scullery maids!

when they're done unwinding the great society, the victories of the civil rights movement, and the new deal, they will simply move on to unwinding the political resolutions of the civil war

TLDR, I found the country incredibly isolating. In the city, I’ve found a community.

Close-knit neighbors! I’m from a pop. 5,000 town where I never knew my neighbor’s names. In my city, I know my neighbors, their pets, and their kids. We cooperate w/ each other because we live in close proximity & we’re transplants (no family nearby). We help each other out without question.

reminding everyone that they got bested by a guy armed with a sandwich is a bold strategy

Pro-tip: Stop telling me how you’ve decided Trump and/or courts are “going to” lawlessly respond to things.

If they choose to do so, make them do it — and we can respond accordingly.

Don’t grease the skids for them.

OMG so glad I finally have my Halloween costume lined up (pink shirt DOJ subway sandwich thrower 🥰)

Analysis | By deploying the military to multiple cities, shaking down law firms and universities, and seizing control of the American chip industry, Donald Trump has brought his brash New York style to staid Washington, DC.

Listen I know a tv show doesn’t fit your prompt but when I think about my favorite writing ever I always come back to Fleabag season 2

No One in the White House Knows How to Stop Ebola We had a playbook for handling biothreats. Then Trump pushed out the people who knew how to use it.

If only they’d take a break from firing us (and at us!), we could help.

Good morning.

Friday’s shooting attack on CDC staff was deeply traumatic.

*Remember: taking care of yourself is part of the work.*

Breathe deeply, step outside, connect with people who see and support you.

If you need to unplug today, please do. We’ll be here when you return. 🌿

PETER THIEL: we want to kill everyone. we want slaves. we will scour the earth until nothing can grow

THE NEWS: thats his beliefs and we respect that

Pls, this a well known Appalachian folk way, having the army corps of engineers redirect a small river for you boat outing

“Impeach Judge Bove and then prosecute him for his crimes” should be table stakes for Democratic candidates in 2026, he has broken the law more egregiously than like 90 percent of the people who will come before him in his courtroom
