Every time I lose my phone in my couch I remember my ancestors somehow found Plymouth Rock.
Schiff: The judge, in that decision on Monday, referred Blanche, basically, to the New York Bar Association because of his conduct. How is it possible that after being referred to the bar association for potential discipline on Monday, we’re contemplating this guy for attorney general on Wednesday?
BREAKING: Trump's Justice Department has just subpoenaed law firms it previously cut deals with at the beginning of Trump’s second term, according to new reporting from the New York Times.
One day, "It" will happen, by which I mean sudden and unexpected news that you want to celebrate. In such cases, you will want the right outfit. 🧵
Every time he gets a question he doesn’t want to answer it’s the same playbook: “Who are you with? Fake news, I’m not answering.” Who they are with is irrelevant - his PAC sent out a fundraiser using a photo of a coffin to raise money. I don’t care who the reporter is.
“I should warn you, tonight could get political. And if that makes you uncomfortable, there’s an alternate Oscars hosted by Kid Rock at the Dave & Busters down the street.” — Conan O’Brien
Turns out Trump’s secret plan to open up the Straight of Hormuz was to beg Europe to do it.
Judge Goodwin: "An anonymous government is no government at all. It cannot be held accountable. A masked agent freely uses force without justifying his actions, and the public cannot name him to challenge his conduct. A regime of secret policing has no place in our society."
👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics. "It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Folds on the Kennedy Center 3 weeks ago: I was sick to my stomach when I quit because I knew they were going to run it into the ground. No one that they were appointing had any experience in arts administration, but that was never the point. The point was to take that, run over it, and move on.
His 6 month old stopped breathing! HIS SIX MONTH OLD STOPPED BREATHING! A father was getting his kids out of the neighborhood because it was unsafe & ICE threw flash bangs & tear gas at his car with children & a baby inside! His 6 month old stopped breathing & all the children were hospitalized!
WSJ EDITORIAL BOARD: “.. Mr. Trump was so eager to indict his enemies, and Attorney General Pam Bondi was so quick to go along, that it all unraveled at the pull of one legal thread.” @wsj.com @jamescomey.bsky.social www.wsj.com/opinion/the-...
For all the critiques of Mamdani as an inexperienced pol, his campaign has been a relentless machine of clever, viral messaging and door-to-door canvassing. I’ve never seen such discipline in the 30 plus years I’ve been voting in NYC.
If Tyler Robinson had shot a Black Lives Matter podcaster and not a terminally-online misogynist segregationist, he would be paraded through the media with Rittenhouse-style shoulder rides by everyone on the right.
BLACK PEOPLE WILL NOT BE GUILT TRIPPED INTO FEELING SORRY FOR RACISTS 🗣️🗣️
For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country… Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year. And America shrugged and moved on.
The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121.
If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.
Instead of simply wishing people well this Memorial Day, here are five concrete policies that will protect servicemembers abroad and on the home front:
As Cornell wins its first lacrosse title since 1977, I think of the MVP of that game, Eamon McEneaney, hero of the World Trade Center bombing evacuation of 1993, who died there on 9/11, whom I'm honored to say I covered and took courses with.
Today marks five years since George Floyd was killed by police. Our June 22, 2020 cover “Say Their Names,” by Kadir Nelson, illustrated how Floyd’s murder embodies the history of violence inflicted upon Black people in America. nyer.cm/UmfefJw
Check out how the anchors of CBS Evening News ended their broadcast tonight:
In the hour of darkness and peril and fear, let’s all channel a little Paul Revere. @hcrichardson.bsky.social #paulrevere #boston250
Now the GOP House has passed the largest attack on voting rights in US history. An entire political party giggles & applauds as it shreds our Constitution. Keep fighting to save our democracy.Call your senators. Will any GOP stand up? Persist. Insist.Resist. #Opposition #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
This was such a bad take that @mollyjongfast.bsky.social deleted it within minutes. When people are getting kidnapped off the streets and placed in prisons or disappearing, those people need to have an opportunity to protect their lives.
