Thoughts & prayers are not enough.

Ashli Babbitt tried to climb through a barricaded door and into the House Speaker’s Lobby while lawmakers and staff were still in there.
She was warned.
She ignored the warnings.
She is not a martyr.
She is an insurrectionist.
Giving $5M in taxpayer money to her family is disgraceful.

The payouts to Babbitt’s family, the pardons of J6 insurrectionists and war criminals, and the growing push on the right to exonerate Chauvin all show that the GOP will forgive any crime if they see it as defending the set of hierarchies they believe constitutes the real America.

This is f*cked up.
Awarding $5M to the family of Ashli Babbitt is a disgrace to the memory of those who defended democracy on Jan 6th.
It dishonors Capitol Police, Metropolitan Police, and especially those who lost their lives or were severely injured protecting the peaceful transfer of power.

Whenever you hear conservative politicians preach from the gospel of "fiscal responsibility," remember that one of the biggest drivers of deficits lately are the Bush and Trump tax cuts, which have added nearly $10 trillion to the national debt.

Thanks, it just keeps boggling my mind that nobody seems to point out that the AEA of 1798 itself prohibits the President from acting precisely as the Trump admin is acting 🤔

The Washington Post emailed me to resubscribe, i.e., un-do my decision to cancel.
This is painful for everybody. There are still many fine & principled journalists at WP.
But Jeff Bezos still has his thumb on editorial policies.
And sadly, withholding my money is the only way I can protest that.

The scandal isn’t in Hegseth’s stupidity; it’s the premeditated conspiracy to illegally violate the Presidential and Federal Records Act to avoid oversight and accountability.
Conspiracy. All the former members of Congress - Rubio, Gabbard, Radcliffe, Waltz, Vance - knew what they were doing. 🛑

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy
