This is a lot, but (allegedly) Olivia Nuzzi sent a secret recorder with a sketch artist to tape Trump at Mar-a-Lago so she could feed campaign intel to RFK, where [pauses to take a breath] something Trump said about his assassination attempt “would shatter our understanding of recent history”??

nuzzi / lizza misconduct imo enabled the destruction of so much public health & scientific research — and a resurgence in measles in the US. this is not petty tabloid gossip or inside baseball. that they went undetected or were rewarded while great reporters were laid off? it’s a huge system failure

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton.

I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

I'm honestly not sure what to do about the media consensus that Democratic politicians are responsible for everything ever said at an obscure academic conference but Republicans are not responsible for the rhetoric of Republican presidents
i consume an extraordinary amount of political content and i have never seen someone in elected office use the term "birthing people"

everytime i post "the media likes trump and wants to help him" someone always replies with "yup! he's good for ratings and clicks!" and a way you can tell it's not about ratings and clicks is that they shy away from publishing stories about trump and epstein, which are newsworthy and very popular
If I were a Politics Editor, I'd be assigning Epstein timelines, explainers, etc etc etc. Almost everyone has missed/forgotten almost everything about this story along the way. I'm extremely online and just read dude's Wikipedia page for the first time last night, realizing I knew like 10% of it

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."

No amnesty for those that don’t fit his idea of what “Americans” should look like.

As someone who has built a career in Workforce Management & Talent Strategy, this is LUNACY!

Just wait until they raid all the meat processing plants.

Which area do you wish to work in? The hot or cold side?
Oh look, Brooke Rollins wants Medicaid recipients to replace immigrant farmworkers—because nothing says “sound policy” like forcing sick Americans into the fields to appease xenophobes.

How’s that “no amnesty” plan working out, racists?

Ready to pick your own strawberries yet?

“I’m deeply worried that [Colby] buys into the authoritarian worldview that you know, Putin’s a dictator, and Xi is a dictator, and Trump aspires to be a dictator, so let’s just let all the dictators get together and divide up the world,”

From debating him on Twitter it was clear he was dying for us to abandon Ukraine, ostensibly to "pivot to China," but was too dense to realize abandoning Ukraine actually benefitted China. Wonder if he was radicalized on there by disinfo networks?
How is this remotely surprising to anyone who has ever encountered Colby?

25 dead so far across Texas from flooding. Local authorities are blaming poor forecasting.

It’s all so tragically predictable and criminally negligent.
NEW: Mass layoffs began today at NOAA.

Workers were fired by email at the agency which runs the National Weather Service, National Hurricane Centre & Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre.

Services are already shutting down.

The most dangerous regime in the world for US citizens is now their own.
Layoffs hit federal climate, weather agency NOAA
The cuts could affect NOAA's weather forecasts, climate research and other functions.

The biggest single Medicaid cut in the Big Ugly Bill that just passed is via the national work requirement.

The goal is to enhance employment, but state level efforts, as in Arkansas, prove work requirements just drop coverage without increasing employment.

Why? Those who can work are! BUT...

Don’t call it ‘Alligator Alcatraz.’ Call it a concentration camp.

This facility’s purpose fits the classic model, and its existence points to serious dangers ahead for the country.

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.
