DON’T. PRINT. LIES. IN. THE. NEWSPAPERS.

Every damn day. It’s exhausting.
NYT provides no evidence here, probably because the claim is flatly untrue. See eg recent Pew data, or many posts on the subject from @gelliottmorris.com this year

Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"

I got an NYT push alert about Taylor Swift getting engaged, but not about the United States spying on Greenland
“Denmark summoned the head of the U.S. Embassy … after allegations emerged that three Americans with close ties to President Trump were running ‘covert influence operations’ in Greenland.”

Is there a Nobel prize for creating a conflict by threatening to seize the territory of a democratic ally?

Effective May 10, NOAA is gone. NOAA protects food systems, disaster preparation and public health, clean air and portable water
When NOAA dies, parts if civil society dies.
This is just brutal. We, as a society, are going to suffer incredibly.

CEOs in response to Trump tariffs: We’re in shock, losing money, thrown for a loop, Never imagined he’d go this far.

Me, before Trump took office: He’ll do widespread tariffs and break the system of global trade. Just listen to what he has repeatedly said, and observe what he already did.

A reminder to reporters: Because Trump tariff numbers are made-up nonsense, using the phrase “reciprocal tariffs” is lying to your audience. The phrase itself is propaganda. They are not reciprocal.

Republicans say they’re moving fast on passing their budget: The usual garbage heap of tax cuts and spending cuts designed, as Republican budgets generally are, to punish poor and old people.
Of Course Trump Will Tank the Economy. It’s What Republicans Do.
As the president’s “Liberation Day” nears, it’s time to liberate ourselves from the vicious cycle of Democrats having to clean up the GOP’s messes.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.
