I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.

If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

“was told to leave 20 missed calls so it looked “urgent”. When someone finally picked up, there was a script: a cheerful announcement of his new role, followed by an invitation to meet and discuss their financial future.” If anyone did that to me, I’d be LIVID. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”

Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

THAILAND!
X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand.

The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has been hated by the left for years and never feared for her life. She’s been hated by the right for two days and had to hire security.

"This is, in fact, one of the big reasons why Epstein and his well-known links to Trump and his administrations have been so politically salient: They expose the hypocrisy of a right-wing populist movement..." - @katz.theracket.news theracket.news/p/why-the-ep...
Why the Epstein case matters
Dismissing public interest in the Epstein case as heedless conspiracy-mongering ignores the power of the story.

The DOE just cut multiple fields from the “professional degree” list, shrinking loan access for future workers. Nursing, PAs, PT, OT, audiology, public health, social work, & education master’s all got dropped.

And yes, they’re fields dominated by women.
