That’s Trump’s message to millions of struggling families. Your suffering isn't real. It's a hoax, just like the Epstein files!

The most important thing to know about Trump’s manufactured crisis in DC is that his administration is still covering up what’s in the Epstein files.

Evergreen reminder of this oldie: If someone says it's raining, and another person says it is dry, it is not the job of a journalist to quote them both. The job is to look out the window and learn which is true.

it’s weird that we’re staring down the second unprecedented economic catastrophe in five years and instead of a novel coronavirus that will go on to kill millions of people this one is just “no one was willing to tell him no”

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans

Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

The whole point is we don’t know if they are ‘foreign alien terrorists’! That’s the whole point of due process, and evidence, and a courtroom. We don’t take the government’s say so, especially a government with a history of relentless mendacity.

UPDATE: Reyes now walking through every finding of the studies Hegseth relied on for transgender ban. Virtually every finding cuts against Hegseth's conclusion that it supports the ban. She wants to know why she should defer to his "cherrypicking" and "misleading" analysis.

First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year.
“'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'"
Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder.

They showed no grace; no magnanimity of spirit; no diplomatic acumen. They were small bullies with big titles and they disrespected the history and legacy of the nation they lead.
