Doug Burgum, the secretary of the interior, said in a statement that “the prime duty of the United States government is to protect the American people.”

“Health care, anyone?”

Sam Stein and David Ignatius forgot to mention that after Witkoff and Kushner came home from a seemingly failed effort to find a way to peace with Ukraine, Trump lifted significant Russian sanctions.

Journalists:

Do not give fiction any credence.

Let’s not call it mis- or dis-information. It’s just plain, old, FICTION.

Open an online “unchecked” category as IN-credible news until checked.

Show them what you’re made of, dammit. The American press is the ultimate check on this government.

I don’t know, Jeff. Should I shop Prime Day or watch the stranger than fiction inside-out that has become this heartbreaking country?

@mika-brzezinski.bsky.social Judging by this week’s guests, hetero ladies must be watching the show. I came back after 6 months, but I’m extremely wary.

We have got to keep these in circulation.
A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.

ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.

A judge has ordered his immediate release.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

Watching FDR and wondering why Trump isn’t putting people to work on infrastructure for under-served regions. There are whole swaths of this country that are in need of better /new roads, utilities and education.
