Sure, Trump broke the law by firing inspector generals without 30 days’ notice.

But here’s the bigger issue: inspector generals find fraud, waste, and abuse, saving taxpayers money. This wasn’t for the people—it was done to cut off checks and balances for Trump’s corrupt administration.

So here's what's cool about my job:

Yesterday morning I said, "We really ought to have TWIN PEAKS available." So then a bunch of people scrambled, worked really hard, and now you can watch every episode of David Lynch & Mark Frost's original series for free on Pluto TV: pluto.tv/us/on-demand...

This is apparently the closest the New York Times can get to saying what is really happening -- Republicans are trying to steal an election for state Supreme Court justice by throwing out 60,000 lawful votes.

Does anyone have a contact for Ann ? Would love to discuss with her the possibility of partnering with her to publish her cartoons exclusively on @bluesky
Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

The news media have us looking in the wrong direction when they show you the clowns in Washington. This is where the battles are taking place, right now. In the local courts and the state houses. We must pay attention and act to send the message that this is not ok.

The Carolina Public Press interviewed voters whose ballots the GOP is suing to have tossed in the state supreme court election, & some other races they lost: carolinapublicpress.org/67412/nc-res...
'Bunch of bull.' NC voters furious to learn candidates want to disqualify them.
Trailing GOP candidates hope challenging a list of voters disqualifies enough to flip outcomes. NC voters on list take it personally.

so is anybody even going to bother to go through the motions of calling for Trump to divest from his businesses this time around, or did we just give up on that one too?
