It’s funny that Harvard has been a consistent target for reactionary campaigns, and not one has been dedicated to ousting Larry Summers, an openly political figure who was friends with Jeffrey Epstein; meanwhile, it’s a fine-toothed comb for *checks notes* Black women.

From his gilded golf club, President Trump kept food off the tables of millions of children and families. The American people will not forget.

Over his two terms, the government has been shut down for about 1 out of every 24 days Trump has been president. The runner up is Bill Clinton, whose presidency saw the government shutdown for 1 out of every 108 days.

America needs, at some point, to start prosecuting white collar crime.
Nevada could’ve fined Elon Musk’s Boring Co. more than $3 million, but regulators are seeking a reduced penalty of $242,800, citing an “extraordinary number of violations.”

Yes. (And still getting "standoff" BS and "who will blink first" and "who will voters blame" from news.)

Trump and MAGA control the *entire* government. It's a simple fact:
- White House
- Senate
- House
- Scotus
- OMB (to the hilt)
- Every regulatory agency

They're in command. It's on them.
I do not understand why they cannot get the headlines right.

Just follow the gop playbook!

“Repubs control it all! The shutdown is on them!”

As nauseum.

Don’t lead with the nuance.

Well, I had an interesting Sunday night, how 'bout you?
🧵
NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night.

Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.”
She’s a constituent.
Not a threat.
Fascism again.

So weird to see colleges promoting their USNWR grad school rankings today like grad students aren’t being disappeared by their government.

I’m watching Adolescence and wondering if the sons (Jamie and Adam) being taller than their dads was a deliberate casting choice or just the result of the younger actors growing during production of the series.

"Believing shitty things & doing shitty things to people" is not like having a skin color or a sexual orientation. It's not something you're born with. It's something you choose, and adults are accountable for their choices.

The past ten years has just been the same clutch of morons and apologists insisting that Trump would never cross that line and then shuffling along with him to insist that he would never cross that next one.

My firm is willing to represent pro bono those fired in this unlawful and vindictive purge. These dedicated civil servants were performing their jobs and upholding the rule of law.
BREAKING on @MSNBC:

The Justice Department is firing more than a dozen officials who worked on Special Counsel Jack Smith's team.

Acting Attorney General James McHenry claims the officials could not be trusted in "faithfully implementing the president's agenda."

Pete Hegseth admitted to the Senate that he paid $50,000 (!!!) to silence a "Jane Doe" who accused him of rape.

But at his hearing last week, he said he was “falsely accused."

More questions than answers. We can't rush his vote and trust him with our national security.

If I can make a recommendation, it's to mute all words relating to TFG, not to follow people who routinely post his image & messages & try not to listen to him talk. He has not earned your energy & attention. If it matters, you'll hear about it anyway, but there is no point immersing yourself.
