It's also about the death of an art form. At least, that's how I always read it.

If they manage to pass this we need to make sure they lose so badly they won't know what hit them.

Please call or write your senators on a daily basis.

As the world reels from the president's rant and threats of additional tariff chaos, I'd just like to remind the UK that they recently arrested someone who could probably bring down this entire house of cards with very little incentive.

Gorgeous, but if those are lilies, keep them away from cats! 🙀

Kinda reminds me of something

US says 11 people killed in latest strikes on alleged drug boats Three boats targeted in eastern Pacific and Caribbean as Trump continues pursuit of alleged ‘narco-terrorists’

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades.

It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.

FBI Interviewed Trump Accuser, Epstein Files Show Trump was credibly accused of sexual assault in the Epstein files. It's unclear what became of the DOJ's investigation.

NEW: The FBI interview implicating Trump for raping and assaulting a 14 year old took place one day before Epstein was found dead in his jail cell, and emails about the credible accusation came around the time Blanche visited Ghislaine Maxwell in pirson. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Wonderful interview. Thank you. Now that wapo is dead and dark and six feet under, outlets like your podcast are even more essential.

Dang, those 11,700 votes gotta be around there *somewhere* 🤔

I believe he was referring to his moral stature.

Has America become fascist? The answer might surprise you.

When a president talks about skipping elections and floating an unconstitutional 3rd term, it’s not hard to see what this is and what it isn’t.

Seizing election material in a state that already counted the 2020 results three separate times isn’t about election integrity.

It’s about preparation.

FBI’s Search of Georgia Election Center Is “Dangerous,” Experts Warn The search warrant, which sought 2020 election ballots, tabulator tapes, digital data and voter rolls from Fulton County, marked what experts described as a significant escalation in President Donald ...

Experts said the FBI’s seizing of ballots in Georgia triggered fears of federal interference in this year’s midterm elections:

“It's a dramatic escalation … to expand federal control over our country's historically state-run election infrastructure.”

Sen. John Fetterman is calling on Trump to fire DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

It'll be exculpatory as soon as they've had a chance to edit and alter it 🤬

This is like how the Catholic Church passed known pedophiles from parish to parish

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

ICE / DHS employees: I know there’s way more alarm internally than is public. Text me via signal at 202-510-1268. I’ll protect your anonymity

Just a thought for @joebiden @BarackObama @BillClinton, and @GeorgeHWBush but today would be a great day for all former living Presidents to go together to Minnesota and to help defend Democracy.

Women With High-Risk Pregnancies Have Limited Options Under Abortion Bans Our reporting has found that abortion bans generally don’t include exceptions that cover health concerns pregnant women with chronic conditions can face — or if they do, doctors aren’t using them.

Tierra Walker knew that abortion was illegal in Texas, but she thought that hospitals could make an exception for patients like her, whose health was clearly on the line.

At 20 weeks pregnant, she died of preeclampsia.

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

Seriously, @people.com has been meeting the moment better than 90% of publications with direct reporting and crystal clear headlines.

This is a good way for the low-information voters who are usually detached from the news cycle to get turned around.
