Alright, I expect everyone who was with me a month ago about the risks of individual GFMs, to give to WCK now that they're back operating, yeah?
WCK resumed cooking in Gaza after our first aid delivery in 12 weeks. With new ingredients on hand, we’re preparing warm, carb-rich meals like pasta and hearty potato stews. The WCK team cooked nearly 10,000 meals on day one of resumed operations. #ChefsForGaza (1/2)

FYI: Adrienne Adams, Michael Blake, Zohran Mamdani, Zellnor Myrie, and Scott Stringer have all turned up at Federal Plaza to protest Lander's arrest.
I deleted my other skeet because it was shared before Myrie spoke so I didn't know he was there

This thread and the piece at the end are incredible. SCOTUS ruled just before 1am and Chris wrote a thread through the night and published a full, polished analysis at 4:41am.
I must note that Chris wrote this on the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s ride — to the hour.

BREAKING: SCOTUS orders the government not to remove anyone from the United States under Trump’s Alien Enemies Act proclamation who is a part of the potential class in the Northern District of Texas case until further order of the court.

This is interesting. Most national pollsters haven’t yet produced surveys on Trump approval post tariff-induced market meltdown.
Rasmussen, on the other hand, though they are notoriously skewed to the right, polls every day, rolling tracker style.
Here’s their data for the last 10 daily tracks…

Sounds like the next protest is April 19th.
We the people are taking action to stop a hostile government takeover. On April 5, 5.2 million people across the country stood up to say HANDS OFF our democracy!
Save the date for our next national day of action on April 19th.

Elon's involvement in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race cost his candidate around 5% of the vote--even though he spent $25 million dollars on his behalf.
Elon's endorsee ran 5 points behind the other statewide Republican candidate. That's an unbelievably negative return on investment.

SCOOP: DOGE wants to rebuild SSA's codebase in months, risking benefits and system collapse, sources tell me.

DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase In Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse
Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.
