And now the regime is raiding the homes of WaPo reporters.
My colleague @hannahnatanson.bsky.social was in the news this week.

If you haven’t read Hannah’s piece on how she became The Post’s “federal government whisperer,” I strongly recommend it — a glimpse inside her year, and our newsroom, as we raced to cover Trump’s new government.

I am The Post’s ‘federal government whisperer.’ It’s been brutal.
One reporter’s effort to show how Trump was transforming government brought her 1,168 new sources — and nearly broke her.

Not a podcast type but this one with Jon Stewart and Fareed Zakaria is superb.

America isn't being made "Great" it is losing its greatness.

It was always imperfect but it was the best superpower the world could hope for until the idiots took over.

Once protest is labeled “insurrection,” the next step is labeling dissenters as enemies. That’s the slope we’re on. The Insurrection Act was meant for genuine emergencies—not for a president eager to silence anyone who refuses to fall in line.

Gotta have some kind of deaths head.

Possibly the most bizarre since they are a domestic organization.

Who's deaths are they celebrating?

16-year-old Arnoldo Bazan and his father were getting McDonald’s before school when immigration agents pulled them over.

They slammed his father to the ground and put the teen in a chokehold. “I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” he said.

if Joe Rogan can namecheck Gestapo, why the hell are elected Dems incapable of doing so ...
I think what's going on here is the Trump-ICE war on Blue America, the sheer awfulness of the imagery of it, is awakening in many people an anti-totalitarian instinct that Dems can speak to effectively. Rogan calling ICE "Gestapo" gets at this.

Under Trump's watch, a DHS agent shot a protestor in the face with a non-lethal round at close range, fractured his skull, and then dragged him around as he choked and bled. He is now permanently blind in his left eye.

But they gotta sell it.
Trump is already trying to back out of giving the $2,000 stimulus checks, which no one is getting anyway.

I’ve heard from multiple friends today about daycares being raided and parents being ripped out of cars (in one case with a child left behind in the backseat). Grim times here.
The situation in Minneapolis is insane: seemingly many large convoys of heavily armed masked men, blocking off streets at random, grabbing people nearly at random, racing around the city with no discernible plan or aim. Under attack by our own government the day after it killed someone
