Today is the anniversary of the British evacuating New York City after the end of the Revolutionary War. Here's how I learned about it: the piece that introduced me to the terrific work of @bencarp.bsky.social
Evacuation Day: Marking the End of the Revolutionary War
We know how to honor the image of soldiers charging forward, but we often forget to cheer the backs of troops as they peaceably depart.

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

A federal judge just nuked Trump’s indictments of James Comey and Letitia James, not on the facts, but because the “prosecutor” Trump sent in was never legally a U.S. Attorney at all.

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.
This isn't the bumbling, directionless Trump first term. This time, they are implementing a plan to let Trump and his people rule forever.
But it's not too late to stop them.

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities.
Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)
