Wow. he hits the ground running in a very different direction. 🔥 Watching now with my kids.
So… this was supposed to be about Paul Revere’s ride, but the Senator just unloaded about the Trump administration and its Republican enablers. Far more newsworthy than I expected. (You can probably see me shifting to “crap, this was not the interview I prepped!” but the result was memorable.)

Absolutely brutal, and 100% accurate, from @djrothkopf.bsky.social www.thedailybeast.com/the-supreme-...
Yowza. @djrothkopf.bsky.social has two questions for the ages. One starts the piece, the other ends it.
"What should we do with the Supreme Court now that we no longer need it?
What shall we call this country when the United States of America as we once knew and loved it no longer exists?"

Trump and Musk are eliminating 90% of Social Security’s regional staff—and, at the same time, will now only post public updates from Social Security on a platform owned by Musk, where more than 90% of seniors won’t see them. Corrupt, cruel, and wrong.

Yay! It’s almost Friday! Trump’s stock market can tank for one more day and then we have two days off.

A win for truth and history: A National Park Service page(removed by Musk) on the Underground Railroad has been restored to prominently feature Harriet Tubman, after her image and quote were removed earlier this year. Now, her legacy as a fearless champion for freedom has rightfully been restored. ✊

To sum up: An estimated 5 million people protested in 50 states but the stories were deliberately relegated to the back of most major newspapers.

Big Journalism (esp. @nytimes.com) failed to adequately & accurately cover the #handsoff pro-democracy demonstrations.
Local outlets did *much* better.
Newsroom leaders need to defend democracy from autocracy.

Local news outlets show the New York Times how to cover the growing pro-democracy movement.
The NYTimes leadership is still indifferent to democracy. Just look at its front page.
