“We have effectively handed [the Trump administration] a ‘kill switch’ for any reporting they find inconvenient.”

CBS News’ editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss, pulled a 60 Minutes segment featuring the accounts of Venezuelan men sent by the Trump administration to a maximum security prison in El Salvador.

He is covering up extrajudicial killings.

He is covering up kidnapping, trafficking & horrific detention.

He is covering up child rapes.

He is covering up stealing classified documents & selling them.

He is covering up details of his coup attempt.

He is covering up who he’s really working for.

🪡 In 2024 things didn’t end as well, but we still ran through the finish line.

Our team made 32 MILLION direct voter contacts, talking to young voters about the stakes of the election and why turning out was critical. We organized around the country — and still made Gen Z Harris best age demo.

@kemet2000.bsky.social I took a lot of time off to readjust to everything. Tom died in May after a hard medical challenge. He was in and out of the hospital where so many procedures were tried to heal him. I have forgotten how to send personal messages here. Hope you are okay. Love to you.

Yep.

Rep. Larson: “By requiring seniors and disabled Americans to enroll online or in person at the same field offices they are trying to close, rather than over the phone, Trump and Musk are trying to create chaos and inefficiencies so they can privatize the system.”

Really key stuff here. DOGE flipped the Institute's security contractors - Inter-Con - against them by threatening to cancel all their security contracts across the federal government.

This is where DOGE's money meets up with guns and the lawyers are kicked to the side.

I don't mean to get downbeat, esp on Fri afternoon, but the extent to which the Trump admin is doubling down on deeply, pervasively unpopular policy is extremely frustrating. I know they think great gains await us on the other side, but I disagree:

This is all just so damn frustrating and disheartening...
The Trump administration is tripling down on an agenda that's horribly unpopular for good reasons. And they don't seem to be able to stop.

The world's leading medical labs are in the US—why is the Trump admin cutting grants to them from the NIH? Fine to look at the grants, but stopping them halts research into cancer, diabetes, brain injuries and children's health. Gov't is not a tech company. Lives are at stake.

Just saying, Canada, is larger than the entire United States, that is, all 50 states, so calling it "the 51st state" doesn't make a whole lot of sense. And we did try to annex Canada once, in the war of 1812, and it didn't go very well.

Tariffs are shooting yourself in the foot. The Europeans, our largest trading partner, are retaliating by essentially taxing American consumers, especially in red states where people can least afford it. A colossal own goal by the president.
