Charlie Kirk in 2015: “[I’m] not the biggest Donald Trump fan in the world. …People are going to brand us and loop us in that bucket like, 'Oh, you're the Donald Trump group. …We're going to have to fight back against that."

Went to the DC exurbs to write about a growing political trend — citizens who don’t want more data centers, and are looking for politicians who’ll help.

Locally they’re getting help from both parties. At higher level, Rs are resolutely pro-data center and Ds are conflicted. t.co/Ir0QW8FUey

The frilled lizard is an iconic Australian reptile because of their utter fearlessness.

Their scientific name, Chlamydosaurus kingii, translates to 'King cloaked lizard' & you can see why.

They're one of a few modern lizards that can accurately be called bipedal, running upright on hind legs.

This too. ICE is likely causing an increase in crime by making victims and informants decide not to report.

That was the point of a “sanctuary city” policy: police who deal with murder and other crimes didn’t want to undermine serious law enforcement by prioritizing federal immigration violations.

Also by making crime victims afraid to report crimes

Is it even a good right wing propaganda rag if the circulation drops below Highlights for Children?

When I cancelled last week, this popped up. Not a great sign!

a pop-up from the Washington Post that reads "We'd hate to see you go. Continue your subscription and get a $51.75 refund."

I've only met George in passing, but I know what it's like to be married to a crazy woman who clearly doesn't listen to you or hold your opinions in high regard, and I'm glad he's free of this. youtu.be/dtTAVCN4gq0?...

Also, maybe we need to bring back "Tories" and "Redcoats"

These are the same kind of weasels who would’ve called George Washington & America’s revolutionaries “terrorists.” They spend their days sucking up to King Trump & demonizing peaceful protest just as some in America sought to appease King George III.

Looking forward to No Kings Day.

Johnson describes planned No Kings rally as ‘hate America,’ ‘pro-Hamas’ gathering

Organizers largely blew off the rhetoric, but some Democrats online criticized the tone.

The same ICE agent who handcuffed Ald. Jessie Fuentes has been filmed in at least 3 other violent encounters, including the viral arrest of a woman in Waukegan in front of the mayor.

“He’s obviously a danger to individuals and particularly women," Fuentes said.

Government workers 👇🏾

Lunch is on the house:

Being in the heart of downtown DC, we love that so many of our Federal employees stop by during lunch for a Donburi at China Chilcano or a Fútbol Club at Jaleo. And just because the government is shut down doesn't mean you have to miss out on your favorite lunch spot- because this time, its on us!
Join us for lunch from 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM at any of our participating restaurants and enjoy a free lunch item when you present your government ID-you heard that right! Dine in with us Monday through Friday and choose your favorite: a sandwich at Jaleo, a donburi at China Chilcano, a wrap or pita at Zaytinya, or a torta at Oyamel.
We've always believed in serving our community with open arms and good food-no shutdown can stop that.

This race will decide whether we have an Attorney General who defends our freedoms, protects our democracy, and prioritizes the needs of Virginians – or one who takes directives from Donald Trump.

The stakes couldn’t be higher.
