This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother.

Toronto edition. BTW, under Biden we had just one commercial plane crash. One month into Trump and his tag-team attack with Elon Musk on the FAA we're at 77 deaths, 15 injuries and counting with 3 crashes. If this were Biden this would be a mainline conspiracy by now.

Ezra Klein explains Steve Bannon's "muzzle velocity" strategy to "flood the zone" with illegal executive actions to keep us distracted and convince us that Trump is a king instead of pushing legislation that would make a permanent impact as a president. Klein argues it’s backfiring.

You know how I feel about him.

There’s nothing I could say about him that you don’t already know.

But as this next chapter of our nation begins, I just want you to know:

The exact number of federal employees working in DEI roles appears to be unknown, or at least not publicly disclosed. This raises questions: does the Trump administration even know who these employees are or how many exist? If not, how exactly do they plan to identify them? 🤔
