I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”
I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

I was sitting in a Bloomsbury hotel drinking cocktails with my love when I saw on the BBC News that actor Richard Chamberlain has died aged 90. He was one of my teenage crushes. The world removes us, bit by bit.

One of my favorite movies with Richard Chamberlain was the Three Musketeers. He played Aramis.

We've hit 10,000 signatures on this petition -- at least ten thousand people refusing to donate to Senate Democrats until Mr. Schumer is replaced as leader. Let's keep it going. Share widely and make your anger known. Let's demand action.
If you’re pissed about Sen. Chuck Schumer caving to Trump and Elon Musk, take the pledge to boycott contributions to all Senate Democrats until they replace him as leader: chng.it/mZgjGv9rS9

OK. What happened today is not great. But take heart! Now we shift to plan B: asking D Senators to shut down Senate business.

This is a media relations game.

Senators: act like this is a crisis so the public sees that it is a crisis. Many voters are unaware of the damage Trump and Musk are doing.
Take it from people inside #NIH:

If we don’t shut the government down now and instead accept this horrible Republican CR, NIH will be dead.

Forget the budget, the study sections, the councils: Trump and Musk will just cancel your grants as they did to Columbia. 🧪

Senate Democratic leadership essentially played dead today and greenlit the Trump-Musk-Vance coup. What is the point of the Democratic Party if it doesn't actually act like an opposition party? Hello?

I think what is making everyone so angry isn’t just the cowardice of Senate Democrats, it’s their cowardice in comparison to the random normal person who runs for school board to oust a Moms for Liberty freak

This American citizen is calling for Chuck Schumer to be ousted as Senate minority leader! He is a coward and a traitor to the people he is supposed to represent. It’s time for the Democrats to get their shit together and this would be a good first start.

I wanted to relax and chill on a Friday night after fasting, but the feckless cowardice of Senate Democrats has inspired me to rant a bit and write a piece. Out soon.

This is Maine Gov. Janet Mills. She did what cowardly GOP congressmen can’t find the bullocks to do. She told Rump to shove his order where the🌞won’t shine. She’s a hero.

FOTUS: You better follow my Exec Order!
GJM: I follow the law.

Someone at Facebook is trying to silence me.

SpaceX+Tesla+Boring+Neuralink have 1406 patents collectively. Elon’s name is only on 14, less than 1%.

The thing I am the most worried about tonight is that the systems Elon Musk is currently stealing from *our* government may never be retrieved or even retrievable.

If he has seized employee data, locked employees out of entire agencies, and gotten access to Treasury platforms distributing

🚨 BREAKING NEWS:

The Pentagon has informed the press corps that NBC, NYT, NPR, and Politico will “rotate out of the building” to give space to New York Post, Breitbart, and OANN.

This is awful.
