Of note, I did not see any ICE ads on HBO Max in my area tonight, which was extremely surprising yet pleasantly delightful. I saw that TNT did it though to a bunch of y'all, so please keep bombarding WBD/local broadcasting with emails and calls #AEWCollision 🤼‍♂️

If this was happening in any other country you'd have journalists and analysts discussing risks of state failure

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

They are building a Propaganda State.

They are cooking the books on job creation.

Now they are rigging death numbers so no one knows how many people die because of their attacks on vaccines and science.

Worms can be itchy

BlackRock is seeking to buy Aligned Data Centers, a data center construction company.

It’s also going to buy AES, one of the major power providers for Big Tech data centers.

While these data centers drive up your electricity costs, wealthy financiers are going to make a killing.

I booked a photo session tonight bc I have very few pictures of my family together, but while I’m smiling & holding my children, I know I will hear this mother’s screams.

I don’t want my tax dollars supporting ICE agents dragging parents away from car line. And most moms in the US agree with me.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

A postcard, front and back. The front shows a woman in a floor-length white dress with a red sash. She is wearing a crown and appears to have short auburn hair (or it is pulled back into a bun). She is standing in what might be a ballroom, but is definitely a richly appointed room. She is the Princess Martha Louise. The back reads: What we never want to admit is that a significant responsibility of royalty is looking down on the rest of us. The world is only defined in terms of differences, and without knowledge of those differences, we would all be lost. Without our names, who are we? Without the rich to judge us poor, how will we even know what to value? Did you even know that royalty have a burden, too? They did not volunteer for their lot. They would wish it different if they could. Too much rich food! Oh for a saltine. My kingdom for a saltine! They know, that if we wished, we could change it all up in an instant. Equalize the elites and the masses. The world could be balanced, or at least fair, or at least not a tale of two extremes. Royalty wants this, actually wants this. So why don't you? That's the ripe question: now you know, what will you do?

What we never want to admit is that a significant responsibility of royalty is looking down on the rest of us.

There are some very strange things going on at the Library of Congress. I’m doing searches for news articles from the Civil Rights Era. Political cartoons. That sort of thing. They used to be easily found.

That stuff is VERY hard to find now. Things are missing, people.

GUARD IN MEMPHIS: The TN Supreme Court & a federal court have both ruled it is unconstitutional for TN’s governor to deploy the National Guard for law enforcement.

In 2021, TN’s GOP Attorney General wrote an advisory saying the same. It was so damning, the new AG secretly erased it from record!

Jamal Khashoggi, the Washington Post, and the Cost of Speaking Out As Saudi Arabia hosts comedians and courts gamers, the silenced voice of Jamal Khashoggi still echoes.

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory.

They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth.

But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi.

RIP, Jamal.

The FDA Plans to Review Mifepristone When junk science shapes policy, it's fascism

“Mifepristone is very safe. It’s safer than Viagra (remember the MEN!). What’s happening now isn’t about science—it’s about controlling women’s bodies and the narrative, so the more shitty data and putrid hot takes introduced as science, the better.”
