James Garfield was murdered by a man who thought he deserved a government job. Chester Arthur—once a machine politician—responded by helping create civil service reform.

Today’s GOP wants to undo that progress and return to patronage politics.

💔 A European Parliament interpreter could not hold back tears during the speech of 11-year-old Roman Oleksiv from Lviv.

The boy survived a missile strike on Vinnytsia on July 14, 2022, which killed his mother - it was the last time he saw her alive.

Watch this. Then remember that the president doesn’t care. He cares that his old ass gets richer in the hand full of years he may have left.

And his sick rich friends. The most corrupt evil man to ever serve as president is ignoring real evil

Trump is dozing off in meetings. He’s wandering during ceremonies. His rants are more unhinged, his temper shorter, and he’s suddenly getting MRIs the White House can’t explain. Something is wrong — and they’re hiding it

Trump is showing confusion, fatigue, erratic behavior, and unexplained medical tests — and the White House won’t level with the public about what’s happening.

I just interviewed Jimmy Wales about it for Lawfare. He was refreshingly unapologetic about the Wikipedia editorial community's perpetual discussion of sources and the reality that some simply better than others.

New from me: an essay on the House UnAmerican Activities Committee, and its remarkable 30 year history of witch hunts & blacklists.

It chronicles the progression of how industries & academia went from capitulation to defiance,& what we can take from that today

He will make it up, just like he made up the lie that my team censored 22 million tweets. Except this time, he’ll be making up lies about people living outside of the US, pretending they are “linked to the CIA” —his usual bullshit trope, which has real consequences in some countries. He won’t care.

An insane political move. One of the recurring complaints about immigration in the U.S. is that those seeking asylum jump the line. This is line-jumping — but for rich people, not those in need.

Most people don’t even have this data. The identifying information (phone numbers and emails) suggests that they already have access to a lot of data and are trying to build a network model.

Way to go to build a dystopian panopticon.

Nobody is coming here for a long time, even when trump is gone. The world's trust in the US has evaporated. The US will have to prove we've fixed the country to a point where this trump era bullshit can't ever happen again, which is going to take many years. I fucking hate this timeline so much.

And I certainly think this will all but stop ANY people from Europe visiting HERE. The loss in revenue having it go down to as close to 0% as possible is just another huge hit for this country.

Everywhere we look, trump makes one disastrous decision after another. Or someone does it FOR him.

It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.

It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.
