A year ago today, a jury of everyday New Yorkers concluded Donald Trump was a criminal.
They looked at the evidence, pondered for a while, & reasoned that he — without a doubt — faked documents to hide a sexual affair from voters in 2016.
I was in the courtroom then. He's in the White House now.

We’ll have estimates later today, but small towns are really showing up. You can tell, it’s catching local media off guard. Reporters are like, “Wow, we didn’t expect this kind of turnout here.” As for the comments on those stories, ignore the usual MAGA noise.

The contemptable Marco Rubio is asking UKRAINE for concessions, not Russia. Like Churchill asking Charles de Gaulle, "So which parts of France are you willing to give to nice Mr. Hitler to make him leave you alone?"
I'm kidding! In no scenario is the incompetent Marco Rubio Winston Churchill.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

Jaw dropping concept-but totally predictable
That FBI agents must sue to protect themselves

It’s exactly what you’d expect after he pardoned all the criminals who battered 140 police on January 6
But it doesn’t make it any less disgusting

Strong, accurate, and to the point:
"Plaintiffs reasonably fear that all or parts of this list might be published by allies of President Trump, thus placing themselves and their families in immediate danger of retribution by the now pardoned and at-large Jan. 6 convicted felons."

They have trashed valuable products your tax money paid for.
More than 8,000 web pages across more than a dozen U.S. government websites have been taken down since Friday afternoon, a NYT analysis found.
The purges have removed info about vaccines, veterans' care, hate crimes, and scientific research, among many other topics. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/u...

I always thought Elon Musk was the most dangerous man in America but I viewed him as a danger primarily in terms of his wealth and his disinformation power. I didn't realize he would pose an actual threat to our form of government, our national security, and our most sensitive personal data.
