We must demand accountability and transparency, even in the face of fascism.
BREAKING—The United States Institute of Peace (USIP) office was just on lockdown for close to an hour while members of the DOGE team tried to enter the building, multiple people have told me. Security has now escorted out remaining staffers who’ve been told to telework until further notice.

A lot of places are about to be bombed in a country far away and a good many people killed because Donald Trump cannot make anyone forget or ignore the accusations of what he did with young girls.
That is now the foreign policy of the United States.

So Trump, and not the "anonymous staffer," actually did post the Obamas/apes video?
Q: The president just said on Truth Social it would be a 'big mistake' for UK to hold over control of Diego Garcia, but the State Dept said the US supports that handover
LEAVITT: The post should be taken as administration policy. When you see it on TS, you know it's directly from President Trump.

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

Someone doused Renee Good’s Minneapolis memorial and a nearby pile of wood with gasoline and started a fire at about 9 p.m. Tuesday.

If they force us to choose between calling for the resignation of imbecilic bigots or normalizing hateful religious incitement, that’s not a tough one. This fanatic should spare his constituents any further embarrassment and resign.

Actually, I'm pretty sure it's called the President's Daily Briefing because it's a briefing *for* the president that is prepared by the Director of National Intelligence, who chooses what to present from the various intel agencies?

From @theathletic.com: Vice President JD Vance does not seem to agree with Eileen Gu's choice to represent China, rather than the United States, at the Olympics. Gu, who was born in San Francisco, has won five medals for China, where her mother is from. nyti.ms/3ZJtaYv
JD Vance insinuates Eileen Gu should be representing the United States at Winter Olympics
Gu was born in 2003, and her mother, Yan Gu, is a first-generation Chinese immigrant. Her father is American.

The NYTimes often doesn't quote Trump at all, instead reframing his words with a summary falsely suggesting coherent thought, in contrast to the gibberish he actually said. They also don't mention how he routinely mumbles and slurs even prepared remarks, like here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Zsd...
