A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

BREAKING: We just won a court order to block the unlawful National Guard deployment to Memphis.

President Trump’s attempt to militarize our cities and communities is unlawful. We’re grateful that the court upheld the rule of law and protected the American people in Tennessee.

I finished the mantle last night. I put all the Santa stuff together and all the snowmen together this year and culled a bunch of other stuff from year’s past so it wouldn’t be as cluttered.

Also bonus Vice President Harris ornament my mom got me two years ago.

Dear ICE: They don't let you wear a mask in your mug shot.
Great news. This is what an ICE agent looks like in a mugshot. Meet Gerardo Rodriguez, 45, of Temecula, courtesy of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. Arrested for "illegally detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty last week." 🧵

Maybe you should read the post you’re commenting on.

They’re boosting antisemites because Jews are a core part of the Dem base.

If that’s okay with you, you should go to hell.

So tired of these takes.
Especially from white people, who as a whole keep voting GOP.

The Democrats, in the MINORITY, held out longer than any prior shutdown.
It is now SOLELY on the GOP and everyone is aware of ACA credit and SNAP/Medicaid cuts.

My DIL is finally getting paid. She is relieved.
Ppl need to understand what's happening here.

The GOP response to the shutdown was: You're gonna cave, or we're going to hurt vulnerable people by shutting off SNAP. The Dems, unwilling to let that happen, caved.

Having watched that, the GOP is now saying: "Give us what we want on abortion or ..."
NEWS: Senate Republicans are threatening to block the extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies—unless Democrats agree to tougher abortion restrictions.

The only thing that's interesting about Nuzzi is the story of how an amoral careerist with no interest in policy and abysmal ethics became an acclaimed national political reporter. But rather than tell that story, the entire media seems desperate to play a part in it.
It rocks that all 20 people who genuinely think the Olivia Nuzzi stuff is interesting have editorial discretion at major media outlets. Just publish your group chats

So let me get this right, Trump’s plan was:

1. Tariff everything to help the economy (it didn’t)

2. Claim consumers aren’t paying tariffs (we are)

3. Panic & roll back food tariffs b/c you created an affordability crisis (we told you)

Funny thing about the military:

If you have a tattoo, and then get it covered up or removed, it requires the same waiver as if you still had it.

Their logic is that it was your decision making skills that are really the issue and what make you a risk to your branch, not the tattoo itself.
