SCOOP — Gregg Phillips, a conspiracy theorist with no emergency management experience who helped produce the election-denying documentary ‘2000 Mules’ with Dinesh D’Souza and has faced numerous legal inquiries, has been named head of FEMA’s Office of Response and Recovery.

My story:
Conspiracy theorist election denier given FEMA’s second-most important role
Gregg Phillips will lead the Office of Response and Recovery, “the heart of what FEMA does.”

UPDATE — For those who want to help, there’s now a way to donate directly to the 7500 South Shore Tenants Union to help with emergency relocation costs as residents “vacate in one of the snowiest winters in Chicago’s history.”

Details in our story.

Donald Trump's longer NSS completely delivers on Russia's demands. As I feared would happen in the transition when Russia was calling in his debts, he's ceding Europe to Putin.

ICE trying to ORDER a church to REMOVE A NATIVITY SCENE is one of the most astonishing First Amendment violations I've seen in ever
ICE’s acting director ordered a Boston Catholic parish to tear down its Advent Nativity scene—stripped of baby Jesus and branded with the message “ICE WAS HERE.” The parish priest is refusing, citing he pope’s call to stand with migrants. It's another chapter in Kristi Noem's war on Christians.
“ICE Was Here”: Pope Leo-Inspired Nativity Scene Sparks MAGA Outrage
A Nativity scene missing Jesus — and marked with an “ICE was here” sign — has triggered cries of “politicizing Christmas.” The parish priest says he’s answering Pope Leo's call to welcome stranger.

Release the video.

Few people believe that killing people as they attempt to stay alive in the ocean fits within the bounds of justifiable force. Jeff Flake chimes in.

Nothing like spending tens of thousands of dollars for a shitbox that might burn you alive and definitely funds a Nazi's political project. #TeslaTakedown #MuskMustFall
Consumer Reports ranks Teslas as the least reliable used cars. "The best of the worst [ten] was Chevrolet at a score of 40. But Tesla makes that failing grade seem respectable with its absolute rock bottom rating of 31, trailing Jeep by just one point.” futurism.com/advanced-tra...

On Consumer Reports' latest ranking of used car reliability, Tesla came in dead last with a rating not even half of the top placed brand.

Trump’s use of the pardon power and his administration’s actions in the Caribbean have been monstrously villainous.

But as @gregsargent.bsky.social stresses, they’ve also been dangerously, recklessly uninformed. Trump is often acting on shoddy intel or no intel at all. It’s frankly terrifying.

TPM has spent nearly two months on the front lines of Trump's mass deportation push in New York. We found masked agents, chaos in the courts, and a quietly growing movement that's fighting back.

It's great that the media, Congress is going all Watergate on one of Trump's many crimes, the 'double-tap' murder of 2 Caribbean sailors

But the reality is that Trump's death cult has killed hundreds of thousands, mostly through senseless USAID cuts

Don has been sounding the alarm about Schedule F, and was the first person I read warning about Project 2025.

We're heading toward the nightmare stage of this pretty fast, with the goal and hope of making the federal government operate like the veritable one-party rule of, say, Mississippi.
New, from me: by embracing unitary executive theory, the Supreme Court is moving towards making all public employees fireable at the will of the President.

This will not just hurt government competence, it will aid democratic backsliding. 🧵

Trump's farmer bailout will primarily go to massive row-crop farmers. Big Ag as they say. Smaller and diversified farms are getting something else - it rhymes with shackjit.
Trump is going to dump tens of $ billions in payments for huge commodity farmers to compensate for huge losses they will suffer from his idiotic trade war. Meanwhile, small farmers growing for local markets will get nothing. Just canceled grants and "thoughts and prayers". wapo.st/3YXdAbU
A Kansas family farm, barely getting by, grapples with Trump’s cuts
Like many of his rural neighbors in northeast Kansas, Jacob Thomas is trying to compensate for deep losses in federal funding. There’s worry and anger.
