I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.

Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

This is the asymmetry in our politics and media. If this was the other way around, Biden had pardoned someone then charged with trying to kill Trump, it would be the biggest story in America and every Republican commentator, congressman, news outlet, would be screaming about it in unison.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Today, Oct.2nd, is the anniversary of Jamal Khashoggi’s murder by Saudi agents.

NEW: Sen. Tammy Duckworth is calling for Pete Hegseth to resign.

"If this PR stunt proved anything, it's that the best thing Pete Hegseth can do to strengthen our military is resign in disgrace immediately."

Donald Trump told the military’s top brass on Tuesday that 'America is under invasion from within', as he defended his deployment of troops to cities including Los Angeles and Washington, DC. ft.trib.al/FlItQ2J

Important thread.

The president is intentionally killing non-combatants who pose no direct threat in violation of domestic, international and military law and his VP and chief policy adviser are promising an authoritarian crackdown on his political opponents. Just today.

Democracy and the rule of law are on the line

He was white. He was Christian. He was from a conservative law enforcement family. He was raised with guns.

IT IS TIME FOR THE VIOLENT RHETORIC AND THREATS OF FUTURE VIOLENCE TO END.

That’s a lovely thought. But it could never happen with Donald Trump serving as president, and would never have been necessary if he weren’t.

Why are federal agents hiding their face? Public servants should face the public — take off the masks!

Keep an eye out for our billboard driving around D.C.!

Trump sent officials to see Ghislaine Maxwell quicker than he sent FEMA to Texas

It is fucking insane that we had a decade of people complaining about the dangers of cancel culture, and now literally hundreds of thousands of people are being purged from government jobs for ideological reasons, but that is not cancel culture.

Photographer @darrow-m.bsky.social started at City Paper as an intern in 1986. Now, as he nears his 40th anniversary, he’s revisiting an unpublished book of D.C. photos spanning two decades. Take a look back ⬇️

I’ve been sort of idly keeping track of all the points in the Declaration of Independence’s bill of particulars that arguably apply to the Trump Admin. This is the first four-in-a-row I’ve hit. www.archives.gov/founding-doc...
