The Trump administration's newest hire.

This is appalling!

So many brilliant details!

Early voting in the NYC mayoral election begins TODAY.

If you're a New Yorker, I urge you to vote for Zohran Mamdani — the only candidate who will stand up to the oligarchy and fight for working people.

Listen to his inspiring words from primary night.

It looked like the crowds went just as far from the other 3 corners.

As a "peacekeeper," I logged miles of walking back and forth just on one side of the street. From one corner (which was claustrophobically crowded because it offered shade)to the end of the protesters on that side was about 3/4 of a mile (I think). I felt like I walked a marathon!

Leading cause of death during Biden's presidency was heart disease, followed by cancer. Leading cause for children is firearms. Maybe let's address those instead.

Traffic WAS really bad, but because so many were going to the protest. Some people parked over a mile away. Organizers were told to arrive at 11:30 before the start time of 12, and it was already a mob scene! Way more people than last time, and it seemed like way more honking too.

Loved that dog frog--so cute! And the signs were great too.

What does that mean? Are you talking about the ZZTop-bearded idiot in the Jeep with the trump flags who kept driving in circles?

Great. More frightening news.

I would think Trump's allies would let him know Stephen Miller thinks he's the President. He's stealing the spotlight. We're all talking about Miller more than Trump... Some people are saying he's more powerful and important than Trump.

What happened to the money from the full investigation of Tom Holman is which they found no evidence of wongdoing?

ICE now very literally at war with Presbyterians

The Latest FCC Censorship Push No One Is Talking About Targets Incarcerated People Brendan Carr is advancing a plan to choke communications for people who use cellphones to expose abuses in prison.

"While there may be isolated incidents where incarcerated individuals have used contraband cellphones to commit crimes, my experience tells me they’re far more often used to connect with loved ones or to hold rogue prison officials accountable."

I love this thread!

Must-Reads and the War on Chicago "Chicagoans will not be a conquered people."

I have a full day today, but I woke up early to put this edition of my newsletter together because I need you all to have this rundown of what we've been up against this week in Chicago as the federal assault on our city continues. To ignore these developments would be a damning mistake for us all.

I said what I said: Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague for crimes against humanity.

Chris Murphy’s Extraordinary New Takedown of Trump Should Wake Up Dems The Democratic Senator has taken the lead in drawing attention to Trump’s authoritarianism. In an interview, he offers a stark new warning that should galvanize his fellow Democrats before it’s too la...

THE PURGE

Polls show that Project 2025 didn’t resonate. Voters thought it wasn’t real. Well, now we’re living it and it’s already 47% implemented after only 9 months.

Trump’s shutdown is a shortcut: gut the federal workforce, fire career experts, replace them with loyalists. Laid out in P2025.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has been thinking this, but I'm also glad someone else was able to put it into words that make sense.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

I've got 40 of these hand-written postcards ready to go in the mail today! My arthritic hand ain't happy.

Remind them that they may choose to ignore the desires of their viewers but their advertisers may feel differently.

But she's a stupid woman. Why would anyone give credence to her voice? (Where is that sarcasm font!?)

My first thought as well.

Don't blink!

Excellent article!

Horrifying and discouraging. But undoubtedly, Trump will make it worse.
