Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

"Democrats could have held the line on the shutdown, and spent weeks watching Trump’s approval ratings fall," writes @jonathanbchait.bsky.social

1/2. Charlie Kirk frequently called for other people to be killed.
Remember that time when Charlie Kirk called for Joe Biden to be executed? I do.
He didn't even bother to posit any particular crime.

Letting children be shot and killed because we want to have access to arsenals of weapons without restrictions is also political violence.

Um, Trump will make up any reason to remove a black woman from her job.
Updated this piece to note that Trump is now saying he will fire Cook if she does not resign, something he has no legal power to do.
But as with Powell and the accusations of building cost-overruns, they are trying to create a pretext to argue that it would be a for-cause removal.

New, from me: A Trump official is concocting mortgage fraud claims to target opposition. It's a classic authoritarian trick.
Now they are doing it to Lisa Cook, the first Black female member of the Federal Reserve to push her to resign. 🧵
