There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.

Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

The last day on which a majority of the Supreme Court’s justices had been appointed by Democratic presidents was May 14, 1969.

One of the things we do in the legal academy is support our claims with facts.

“From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.”

X post by Andy Kim (@AndyKimNJ ), featuring a verification badge. The text reads, "More people need to see this. It cannot be understated. Trump is trying to criminalize the service of Habitat for Humanity and go after nonprofits who help people when they need it most. It is political retribution. It is unjust and it is a direct threat to our democracy." Below this, there is a quoted post from The New Republic (@newrepublic ), also with a verification badge, posted 1 day ago. The quoted text states, "The FBI is now moving to criminalize groups like Habitat for Humanity for 'conspiracy to defraud the United States.' This comes after EPA Director Lee Zeldin eliminated the EPA headquarters in D.C. and 10 other regional offices...." The posts express concern about political actions targeting nonprofits and government agencies, framing it as a threat to democracy.

This is how we know we are in the Upside Down.

I ❤️ you, London. Until next time.

I see tomorrow is Friday.

Is Friday going a tariff day, or a some-tariffs day, or a no-tariffs day?

Or will it be some other kind of day, like an annex-Greenland day, or a Hannibal-Lecter-wants-to-have-you-for-dinner day, or an Arnold-Palmer-size day, or something else?

I just can’t keep track.

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:

A reminder for these times.

Pass it on.

Ready Fire Aim is a lousy way to govern.

Chris Murphy Emerges as a Clear Voice for Democrats Countering Trump The third-term senator from Connecticut is eschewing caution and throwing out the traditional political playbook as he seeks a broader audience for his critiques of the president and his agenda.

“Right now, there is a distinct possibility that we do not have a free and fair election in 2028, and all of our work is to make sure that doesn’t happen,” said Sen. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social.

The important thing right now is not to lose hope and become immobilized. With flooding the zone, that is precisely what they are hoping to do, to make you feel as if you have no voice.

It is imperative that every single one of us stay informed and involved.

USDA accidentally fired officials working on bird flu and is now trying to rehire them An Agriculture Department spokesperson told NBC News that officials are "working to swiftly rectify the situation."

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people.

And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Remember that everything The Regime is doing now is to take away our will to fight. Keep focused on peeling back your corner. Rest when you need to. It’s going to be a marathon and it’s no good if we all go down in the first mile.

Welcome! So happy you are here!

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

NEW: The Chairperson for the Council of Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency has sent a letter to the OPP advising they consult White House Counsel on the legality of ousting 17 inspectors general. 👀

EARLY PUSHBACK TO TRUMP!

Evening walk. Thankful for my family, wonderful friends and colleagues, and for the New York City skyline. I never tire of this view. Happy Thanksgiving.
