"Things happen" sometimes, like when you walk into an embassy to apply for your marriage license while your bride-to-be waits outside, but then you get bonesawed to pieces for having exercised freedom of speech as an US-based journalist and have to be carried out in a series of suitcases.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

The economy is increasingly dependent on the rich to grow. While the purchasing power of the rest of us still matters, we need to boycott #BlackFriday

Folding on the Shutdown shows that politicians fear lobbyists more than they fear voters. So let’s get those lobbyists off their asses. Boycott #BlackFriday

@hassan.senate.gov The voters spoke this past Tuesday and you are betraying them. I am embarrassed that you represent my state and that I have voted for you. Never again. You are appeasing petulant children. You and the others who folded are Vichy Senators.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

@dscc.bsky.social It is wrong for you to partner with Janet Mills in a primary. Putting a thumb on the scale for a septuagenarian candidate is exactly the kind of behavior which is turning younger voters away from the Democratic Party.

@kylegriffin1.bsky.social Any chance the agent who was fired is the agent mentioned in this article? @michael-feinberg.bsky.social
"I know that at least one agent held the potential of being an upstanding public servant, who embodied the best ideals of the FBI, and now will always be associated with an elected official’s unending quest for revenge."

So ICE can just throw teargas in the middle of a community when they are lightly inconvenienced?
Logan Square neighborhood, Chicago. Man wearing a balaclava in a white, unmarked vehicle, pulls the pin on a tear gas canister and tosses it in the road.

Any serious journalist is going to tell #Hegseth to shove his pledge up his ass. The temerity of these cowards.
NEW: The Pentagon told journalists it will require them to pledge they won’t gather any information — even unclassified — that hasn’t been expressly authorized for release, and will revoke the press credentials of those who do not obey. @washingtonpost.com
Pentagon demands journalists pledge to not obtain unauthorized material
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is imposing strict new rules that would severely limit the ability of journalists to report on the Pentagon.

Stephen Lynch, aiming to be top Dem on the Oversight Cmte, blew up at a constituent who asked him to oppose the GOP.
