I'm surrounded by fireflies. I'm so happy.

There are scores of them.

This is the field across the road. You can't see how many because the camera can't pick up the ones farther away.

Probably need to turn the video horizontal to see them well.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation warned that President Trump’s planned 90,000-square-foot ballroom would “overwhelm the White House itself,” which spans just 55,000 square feet. https://wapo.st/4hmL8rC

On one day's notice, thousands of New Yorkers marched in NYC today for immigrants and against ICE.

More photos soon!

Trump's ICE is a reckless agency. Collaboration hasn't worked. We need to change our laws—and stand up to Washington.

"Once you elect or appoint someone who has no moral core — who then appoints people with no moral core and fires those who do — nothing else in the system of checks-and-balances turns out to matter."

In Trump's America, good character has no value.
It's a barrier to the pursuit of absolute power.
The destruction of the East Wing is a reminder that America has violated the only check-and-balance that actually ends up mattering: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-only-c...

I know we arecanonically 38 here, but I still think it's worth saying, in case younger folks are spying on us:

A *lot* of people knew folks within their community who were killed or lost someone in those attacks.

Even more knew someone who was temporarily unaccounted for.

People REMEMBER that
Yeah, this exactly. The White House demo photos specifically remind me of images of the 9/11 Pentagon attack

Basically all US policy is at this point about indulging Trump’s irrational obsessions, petty grudges, and corrupt grifts, and then taking secondary and tertiary measures to mask the consequences of those policies.
lol, great, so we're now subsidizing Argentine ranchers at the expense of American ranchers. Seems politically sustainable, no questions from me.

Many things are changing before our eyes. Others are harder to see

Like the US economy

Americans are spending more 💲 recovering from disasters and preparing for the next one. 36% of US GDP growth since 2000 is related to climate disasters.

Welcome to the Disaster Industrial Complex 🎁🔗
Disaster Recovery Is an $8 Trillion Driver of US Growth
Investors are on the hunt for companies powering the disaster industrial complex, which are fueling US growth and outpacing the S&P 500

Awful: Trump's $230 million shakedown from DOJ can be paid to him confidentially at first, without the public ever finding out about it until later, Rep Jamie Raskin tells me.

Raskin will formally demand full communications between WH and DOJ on this.

New from me:

Trump’s Vile New $230 Million Shakedown of DOJ Just Got Even Worse
It’s bad enough that Trump wants—and DOJ will likely fork over—this tribute payment. Now, get this: It can probably be done at first without even being revealed publicly.

There is no difference between Trump destroying the East Wing and using a wrecking ball on the Washington Monument or Smithsonian. Just because he (temporarily) lives there doesn't give him the right to demolish the White House without Congressional approval.

FYI :“Destruction of federal property is a federal crime. 18 U.S. Code § 1361 defines the crime as willfully injuring or committing any depredation against U.S. government property. If the damage exceeds $1k it is a felony with a fine, up to ten years in prison or both.”

Awaiting law enforcement.

This is gone now. The East Wing lobby two years ago.
This is what it used to look like inside the lobby area.

Just stepped off the Senate floor after almost 23 hours.

The fight isn’t over—we need to keep standing together to resist Trump’s attempts to tighten his authoritarian grip.
