I cannot stop thinking about just how terrified this hard-working young man must have been. And how awful the driver of the pickup must now feel. And how the cruelty of all this is their goal.

You gotta just block these accounts without interacting. They're doing this the night before No Kings so they can selectively grab quote posts and replies about how nasty people are being. It's extremely transparent. Just block and move on.

Promoting the editor-in-chief's personal side project. Zero named sources in a story that promotes the editor-in-chief's personal political position. Misspelling the subject's name. It took one day for CBS News to become a conservative blog.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

For every €1 provided through a Basic Income For Artists pilot program in Ireland, the government got €1.46 back. So it’s being made permanent.

Over and over we see it. It saves public money to provide public housing. And it makes public money to provide basic income.

We can’t afford to NOT do it.

β€œHealth care for illegal aliens” is the new β€œimmigrants are eating cats and dogs in Springfield.”

The Republican playbook is simple: make up a baseless lie, repeat it every chance you get, hope and pray that everyone blames Democrats for the crises you created.

ICE grabs a new father off the streets of D.C, as he begs them to remember their humanity.

"Brother, please! My wife, she can't walk!"

Their response? "We'll figure it out." But they won't! ICE "agents" have been as hostile to immigrant families as they are to detainees.

We found the waste, fraud, and abuse…

Trump’s ICE spent $560,000 on tricked-out trucks for a hype recruitment video. The vehicles were purchased and styled to look like Trump’s private jet.

This is where your tax dollars are going.

A useful WaPo map of where Trump Storm Troops are actually operating in DC.

If you know DC, what this map tell you is: They're making the gaudy show of strength in areas where it matters least and will do least good. Except for sheer spectacle.

Holy crap. β€œThat quest earned me a one-hour meeting in April 2024 with Will Lewis, the then-new publisher of The Post. During our discussion, he asked me: β€˜What should The Post do to appeal more to Fox News viewers?’ glennkessler.substack.com/p/why-i-left...

Jackie Kennedy was responsible for the design of the former WH Rose Garden

She paid an extremely high price for that privilege

That fact can never be disputed

The beautiful green space she made is now a soulless parking lot
