NEW: @motherjones.com reports that one of the men renditioned to El Salvador is Neri Alvarado, who was working in Dallas as a baker. An ICE agent told him they were questioning all men with tattoos.

Neri has an AUTISM AWARENESS TATTOO in honor of his 15-year-old brother with autism.

Thoughts on Signal gate, as someone who spent 19 yrs at CIA. I'm thinking of all the times I accidentally brought my phone into the office and had to not only immediately walk it across the massive parking lot to my car, but report myself to security. Do that too many times=real repercussions

JUST IN: The 9th circuit court of appeals won’t clear the way for the mass firing of probationary employees at six key federal departments, leaving in place a lower court’s order reinstating thousands of terminated workers.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

If it were legal to fire you, they wouldn't put so much effort into getting you to resign voluntarily.

The people lecturing us on “DEI” and “meritocracy” are a Fox host being nominated to run the world’s most powerful military and a failed businessman with 6 bankruptcies who is going to run the world’s largest economy.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social on Mike Johnson considering conditioning disaster aid: "Never in California did we question whether or not we, as taxpayers in the largest state in the Union, should support the people of Louisiana at a time of emergency and need. We’d never condition it."

As DHS secretary Kristi Noem will be responsible for FEMA

After a record breaking flood, As governor, she left her own constituents, high and dry w/out National Guard assistance, but she did send the national guard to the Texas Mexico border 1200 miles away at taxpayers expense—5 times!

It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here

THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be.

You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion.

Which is more powerful?

TRUTH: The massive fire that destroyed Altadena was not a “forest fire.” The fire had nothing to do with forest management or water policy.

Three main reasons the fire exploded:

1. Drought-like conditions
2. Very low relative humidity
3. Santa Ana winds reaching 100 mph
