You may recall that in January of 2025, artist Ann Telnaes announced that she had quit The Washington Post after editors killed a cartoon that depicted owner Jeff Bezos, among others, genuflecting to Trump.

This cartoon feels even more relevant this week.

This is real, and it’s located near Tesla’s flagship London store in Tottenham.

To those blaming Walz for not mobilizing the Guard, he did that six days ago. I have to say it's disturbing to see people angry at Walz instead of the government agents that just executed a man. As though we should all be experts about what to do when a secret police force invades an American city.

The message of Trump’s letter to the prime minister of Norway signals that the president “genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him,” @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues. theatln.tc/U0fviLiM

ICE and Border Patrol agents must be reined in. Here is one thing we can do right now. Please read and share. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/americas-gestapo

This idiot seems to believe the segment was delayed for good faith reasons

This is why I support freedom of expression.

Appropriately, it is the chaos of a system that supports free speech that gives rise to the grand process of democratic self-governance and the ideally upward arc of human progress and flourishing.

Yesterday a Stoppard play, today a tweet.

Breaking character: I am open to the idea the media's coverage of Biden's age and mental acuity was fair or perhaps not even tough enough. But the fact that it was so much tougher than the coverage of Trump's (more severe) mental decline is damning and I can't see how anyone could argue otherwise.

Too many Americans either didn’t care or didn’t believe. Hopefully they do now.👇

Yes, they did vote for this. Whatever else they thought they were getting, none of this was secret, none of it was hard to find. They chose what to believe, made their peace with it, and now pathologically resist admitting what they did. So they blame the rest of us for not persuading them.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason. Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

"I believe that Americans would agree that the government can’t just make people disappear without any process or explanation. Second, because I want to give the government a chance to admit that they were wrong.

So far the government has not done so."

Amusing 404 page explaining why the intended page wasn’t found using various economic concepts.

I absolutely adore the 404 page for the @financialtimes.com

“Oregon is our home. Keep troops off our streets.”

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.

Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.

We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

Here is how the media should be reporting this morning's news.

As part of a growing pattern of political retribution, Donald Trump's FBI has raided the home of a prominent administration critic. In this instance it happens to be John Bolton. The pretense is largely irrelevant.

Delighted to be opening the new British Airways Spa Lounge for Bronze members.

Just a quick note: Federalizing the D.C. National Guard is not the same thing as “martial law.” I’m not saying that makes it good, but martial law is when the military *supplants* civil government, not just doing law enforcement. Don’t credit him with more power than he has (because he’ll take it)

I know Tim Cook is just trying to protect his company but saying the president is a “well endowed and quite generous lover” seems a bit too far

At my son's graduation at Cal Poly. Little San Luis Obisbo has a big protest

If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country.

We will hold this administration accountable.

A terrifying escalation:

Lindsey is just a big baby, so there’s that as well.

After the fall of the Roman Empire, Europe endured 900 years of decay and poverty, but at the end of those 900 years, the Renaissance, a time of remarkable artistic and scientific invention, began. Could the same thing happen here?

Whether it’s Barack Obama wearing a tan suit to a press conference or Donald Trump running a multi-billion dollar crypto scam from the White House, both men tested the limits of presidential propriety.

I really couldn’t be prouder to be an NLG member

The default Dem position should be that nothing under Trump is valid.

Trump didn't honor his predecessors' agreements. He didn't even honor his own trade agreements. He didn't honor Congressional appropriations. He doesn't follow laws.

Clean slate. If you rely on him, your loss.
