Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Every Dem politician should be campaigning like Zohran. Then, when elected, come through on it.

I'm on the slowest bus line in the city with the slowest buses in the nation to talk to New Yorkers about what it would mean for their lives if we made them fast and free.

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

Alaska can elect a Democrat senator and possibly governor. I believe this.

JUST IN: The Republican Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska’s second biggest city, lost re-election last night to a Democrat.

Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.

Truth

Psycho Pete @psychopete.bsky.social · 23h

It’s simplistic to say that Trump’s removal would not change anything. It would not fix anything but it would change all the dynamics, all the loyalties. Trump operates through Miller. Vance answers to Thiel. MAGA loyalty would no longer be mythic. GOP congress and SCOTUS might not be as compliant.

For the Newsom bashers. Slow your roll

Hi, I'm a trans Californian who reported on the CA bills. This headline is misleading at best. You haven't noted that he has until the 12th to sign the other bills, leaving that out is irresponsible and fearmongers.

People can and should still pressure him on those bills.

mady castigan✨ 🏳️‍⚧️ @madycast.com · 1d

He hasn't signed the other bills yet, but he still has days to do so
This headline is misleading for not mentioning that.

The gender education veto is bad, but far from the most important trans rights bill on his desk.

There's still time to contact Newsom for the rest!

Another garland failure

Jared Kushner just helped cut a deal for the U.S. in the Middle East while simultaneously deepening a $55 billion private investment deal with Saudi Arabia.

That is more than just “questionable.”

It’s one of the most brazen conflicts of interest in memory.👇
