Johnson: "It's true that in previous shutdowns, many or most furloughed employees have been paid for the time they were furloughed, but there is new legal analysis - I don't know the details, I just saw a headline - but there are some legal analysts saying that might not be appropriate or necessary"

I read the Wash Post recap of Hegseth's speech before I got on Bluesky. It sounded like a perfunctory bland speech. Then I get on Bluesky and see what he actually said. Totally inappropriate and bonkers. The papers simply do not accurately report what Trump and co say.

Asked what he would do to stop the deployment of federal troops to Portland, Chuck Schumer replies: "I'd hope some of them [Republicans] would join us in legislation to prevent it from happening."

"I know they're loyal to Trump and does whatever he wants but this is so far stepping over the line"

"one tangible consequence of Trump’s presidency is child-size graves being dug around the world."

“I’m selling more coffins than ever before,” Tonny Bauer, one of many coffin makers in Rwamwanja, told me. “It’s the busiest time in the 10 years I’ve been doing this.”
