Bari Weiss is the logical endpoint of corporate media. This is what happens when people who hate journalism are in charge of it. The only way journalism works is when it’s independent from the power it’s supposed to hold to account, which means ownership can’t have anything to do with those in power

Khanna: "The problem here is there are rich and powerful people who either engaged in this abuse, covered it up, or we're on this island. What the American people want to know is who are these people? Instead of holding them accountable, Pam Bondi is breaking the law."

“Any DOJ official who does not comply with this law will be subject to prosecution for obstruction of justice,” Ro Khanna said in a House speech this week. “If Pam Bondi does not comply with the law, she will be held either in inherent contempt of Congress or subject to impeachment.”

Let’s go.

And if we don’t know the norms being violated, his behavior gets normalized.

It’s important to reveal how abnormal this is—not to him or his administration, but to everyone else.
I get the same thing. “Trump doesn’t care about norms from the past!”

Cool. I’m still going to care, though?

Trump-Rikers Island has a nicer ring to it…and far more appropriate.
"The Kennedy Center is a living memorial to a fallen president and named for President Kennedy by federal law," former Rep. Joe Kennedy said. "It can no sooner be renamed than can someone rename the Lincoln Memorial, no matter what anyone says."

I met Melissa Hortman in October of 2024. She was smart and kind. I heard about her murder in a LA hotel room and it dropped me to my knees. So I went to Minnesota and talked to her kids, parents, and friends. This is not true crime, this is Melissa in real life. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Republicans fought release of Epstein materials every step of the way, are now refusing to release the second strike boat video, and won’t let Jack Smith testify in public. They constantly hide everything they are doing from the American people.

Trump says he lowered drug prices “400, 500,600 percent”—defying all mathematical possibilities. What an achievement.

January 6 was like a much dumber version of Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch and yet a plurality of American voters were like, Yeah, let’s give that guy the nuke codes again. An absolutely world historical debacle of societal ignorance. I’ll never understand it.

Terrific piece by @jamellebouie.net that articulates the central problem with the Trump presidency.

He demanded unprecedented power and has, thanks to his lickspittles in Congress & SCOTUS, been granted it. But he has little interest in using it beyond his grasping selfishness. The nation's adrift.

BREAKING on MS NOW:

Jack Smith, in his opening statement to House Judiciary, says:

"Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power."

If only there was a mechanism to remove a mentally disabled president from office. Oh, wait…

If only there was a VP and cabinet majority that understood their duty granted by the 25th amendment…

The briefing with Hegseth and Rubio only reaffirmed what we already knew: the Trump Administration is in clear violation of domestic and international law—and our own Constitution.

When you do stuff like this and it isn't covered as the massive scandal it should be, the permission structure to do equally awful stuff is quite high.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.
