Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory.
They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth.
But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi.
RIP, Jamal.

A “Striking” Trend: After Texas Banned Abortion, More Women Nearly Bled to Death During Miscarriage

From a report today on @npr.org: People held at Alligator Auschwitz have no legal path out. ICE says they're held on state charges, so Federal immigration judges can't hear cases for bond or anything else. The state hasn't charged them, so state judges can't hear the case because there's no case. 1/

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

My senator continues to pleasantly surprise me.
We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent.
Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Never in the history of taxes and or tax cuts has there been a tax cut that has paid for itself. And yet the GOP keeps saying it and people keep believing it.
New analysis from the Joint Committee on Taxation (CBO, but for taxes) on whether the tax parts of the GOP bill pay for themselves.
No shit, JCT says absolutely not.
Under a conventional score, the tax parts cost $3.8 trillion. When you include the macrodynamic impact, they cost.... $3.7 trillion.
