If you’re raising your kids out in the suburbs, one day they’re going to ask you while you’re out for a walk, why your neighbors all have empty, mildewed plastic boxes that say “The Washington Post” bolted to their mailbox posts.

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

It's not "astonishing" if you internalize that the President is an actual criminal, who intends to do crimes of corruption , something he has declared in public 1000s of times!

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

They weren't out of reach but Sinema & Manichin decided they'd rather be attention hogs & crypto whores than do the hard work of safeguarding the democracy that gave them so much

I have always loved @propublica.org's mission statement. It speaks to method as much as mission, and does not shrink from describling their journalism as a moral undertaking. www.propublica.org/about/

Just checked in @ Thought Police HQ - the boys were so thoroughly owned by Sally Jenkins here that they are spending the rest of the day looking at their phones, filling out fake overtime requests and doing steroids - they're cooked

No “clean CR” exists when Trump defies Congress and unilaterally guts programs—from law enforcement to pediatric cancer research to clean energy projects.

Republicans want Democratic cover to keep breaking the law. Democrats won’t play along.

The MSM does not interview community organizers. It's part of why they miss so much of what happens at the local level.

Three key points:
1) The admin has been planning mass firings to begin in October since February
2) The work necessary to carry out mass firings is illegal during a shutdown, violating the Antideficiency Act, which carries a criminal penalty
3) This harms America, ridding us of talent and expertise

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.
