Just set this up. Might eventually write something worth knowing about me here. Just as soon as there is anything that qualifies.

The Trump administration can’t hide behind classification to cover up illegal actions or prevent embarrassment.

Congress must release the unedited boat strike videos to the public and hold the officials responsible for these murders accountable.

Three of my favorite squiggly lines:
3. Charles Schultz’s hands when they’re under the kids’ chins. Elegant and playful.
2. Miyazaki’s funny big creature eyes. Not quite an oval. Surprisingly nuanced.

There is a mind boggling level of ridiculousness in wrestling announcers excitedly referring to someone as “the longest reigning champion in history!” when talking about a title that didn’t exist 6 months ago.

Even though we work on KOSA everyday, we didn’t know what bills would be in last weeks’ markup until 48 hours before the hearing.

This is the strategy- ram bills through before the public has had time to know what’s going on.

But you can always count on us to sound the alarm 🚨

An anonymous AI company wants to buy Dr. Tim Grosser's family land in Kentucky to build a data center.

They offered him up to $8 million dollars, and he refused.

They asked him to name his price, and he still refused.

A California judge ruled Tesla should face a 30-day suspension of its licenses to sell and manufacture cars in the state because of deceptive marketing around “Autopilot” and “Full Self-Driving."

If the marketing issue isn't settled in 60 days, the 30-day suspension will ensue.

Trump says we need to go after drug cartels.

Meanwhile, he disbanded a DOJ task force that took them on.

And he pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking.

Trump doesn't care about drugs — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy.

It's a power grab.

This tracks with my experience. DHS made up stories like this in Chicago, too. Every story ICE told about being attacked by community members was debunked in court. To assume anything they say is even potentially credible is irresponsible and out of touch with reality.
Re: the ICE actions in south Minneapolis Monday. DHS said "rioters" attacked officers with rocks and pepper spray. Note: I received lots of evidence and didn't see any rocks, the only pepper spray I saw was ICE agents sometimes spraying each other. I did see snow and possibly ice being thrown. (1)

Another powerful answer from Gomez explaining why 1A applies to broadcasters and reminding her colleagues that the job of the FCC is not to censor viewpoints.

Very scary answers from Carr and Trusty on what they think their job is: Serve Trump and police speech.
