β¦using excuses like janky headlines or opinion pieces or fascist owners (if your boss is maga does that change the way you work? No. Also weβve had fascists own our papers before -Hearst paid Hitler to write in his papers in the 30s.) 2/3
And the kicker? Americans have fallen for βthe enemy of the peopleβ propaganda. Theyβve ingested Trump for all these years & now forgotten the press actually works for *them*β¦and so have stopped subscribing to our esteemed Fourth Estateβ¦ 1/3
No jokes about married names ;) - in all seriousness the SAVE Act takes our votes away.

Vet everything you read online. Ignore most comments. If youβre suspicious they are from a troll farm or are AI ask them to verify (I ask for a photo of the peace sign in front of their TV tuned to NBC). And follow legit reporters. I have vetted lists on here if anyone wants them.
HOLY SHIT.
A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.
Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon.

NEW: Right-wing activists are circulating a draft executive order that purports to give Trump sweeping power over federal elections.
@mollyroberts.bsky.social and I got new details on the activists, lawyers, and conspiracy theorists behind the proposed order:

Here's a new one: ICE detained a man in Utah who had been arrested for a suspected drug sale ... that turned out to be dried pinto beans.
Utah case was dropped but the man, who arrived in US as a minor and has deferred action, was transfered to ICE.

I found this report to be both startling and disturbing.
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.
Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.
Lightning? No. Notre Dame, under President John Jenkins, walked in lockstep with Trump for years to grease the wheels & get her installed on SCOTUS. Even forgoing its own female staff, foreign students, & Catholic teachings during its role in presidential debate moderation.
Iβm hoping for the best but we keep voting against our best interests, and are now in our 8th war including against the homeland, so forgive my serious af skepticism.
When they are adults. And even then who you bring in is your responsibility for life.
Honestly I need historians to be the plaintiffs in every case I cover because if they make it to discovery you just KNOW those primary sources are going public.
Exhibit A: The American Historical Association uploading video depos of the DOGE bros to YouTube.

What was DOGEβs mission again π€

A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.
Thatβs literally the responsibility one takes on when deciding to bring a child into the world. A responsibility for life.
KENNEDY: You said, 'Republicans think can troll their way to ethnic cleansing.' Did I read that correctly?
BIER: DHS tweeted for 100m deportations. That would be ethnic cleansing!
K: You don't think it's hyperbolic?
B: I think advocating 100m deportations is ethnic cleansing. Yes. Your time is up
Food for thought but this is exactly how Trump started 11 years ago:
βThe press, the elite, the swamp are all the problems!β (This guy should know better than to blanket blame those journalists killing themselves for us w cable crap.)
Not once does he even mention much less blame Trump.
Reupping.
Not only did Trump minimize possibility of terrorist attacks on US. But White House nixed a law enforcement bulletin ABOUT those threats.
Thx!
