Mikie Sherrill took Jack Ciattarelli to the woodshed in the #NJGov debate tonight (his face says it all).

I had no idea about Ciattarelli’s role in getting people addicted to opioids.

I know it now.

Is Trump just being Trump when he threatens to jail Governors and Mayors? Or is he testing the response to see how far he can go? Please read or listen to Robert Hubbell’s newsletter.

I spent more than a decade at The Post. It was good to me and I was proud to work there. I’ve largely refrained from being critical since I left. But this framing of the special counsel probe is embarrassing and flatly wrong. Stunning, but not. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Good people will be deterred from public service if they see a meaningful risk of winding up in jail afterward.

If January 6 had been properly covered by corporate media at the time—I don't mean in January 2021 but in the months afterward—it'd be understood that that attack was part of a larger plot and a longer insurrection than Americans believed. We are still in it now. And the Act was always the end game.

The war in Gaza ended 6 to 9 months ago. It’s been pure genocide—a straight-up slaughter-and-starvation campaign—since then. Under no circumstances should anyone pretend that Netanyahu is still fighting a “war” just so that Trump can get a photo op and say he “ended” it.

Do better, corporate media.

The Atlantic @theatlantic.com · 8h

Trump’s Gaza peace plan does not resolve all the issues, @yair-rosenberg.bsky.social argues. "But Trump is counting on the force of his personality, the exhaustion of the parties, and the momentum created by the initial agreement to ultimately end the war entirely."

The Gaza War Isn’t Over Yet. But It Could Be Soon.

Trump may have ended the Gaza hostage crisis. Can he end the Gaza war?

Convicted felons should NOT be allowed to pardon convicted felons. Also, convicted felons should NOT be allowed to be president.

Democrats, Progressives, Liberals, and Democratic Socialists get that.

Good on Kelly & Gallego!

Johnson is holding the country hostage. Arizona sent Adelita Grijalva to represent them, but Johnson’s refusing to swear her in until he gets his way on the shutdown. Blocking a duly elected member is fascist blackmail.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."
