"It was about the gutting of civil service jobs, and staffing the government agencies with blind sycophants, cowardly yes-men, unqualified crackpots, shameless grifters, and complete fucking idiots. It was about the GOP-held Congress’s fear, complacency and/or support of this reckless stupidity."

The Trump admin is trying to claim the Presidential Records Act is unconstitutional, and they are allowed to keep secret whatever they want. Our lawyers were in front of the DC Court of Appeals court yesterday arguing that is ridiculous.

Republican Rep. Andy Harris incorrectly told a reporter they were breaking the law as the reporter and others recorded an exchange with him last night. Harris had just wrapped up a debate with Democratic challenger Dan Schwartz.

As a wanderer, runner and a cyclist, and someone who just spent four years driving across N.America, you could substitute "Malibu" and "Pacific Coast" for practically any city/town on this continent bc too many people do not understand Newton's Three Laws, and (statistically speaking) don't care.

Photos that didn't make the wire:

"...The department also revoked credentials of reporters from the WSJ, NYT & Bloomberg to cover a G-20 [summit in NC]...Bessent has complained about all three news outlets’ coverage of him...Bessent called the FT a “disgraced publication” & accused them of being “anti-American.”

"In defending the rule allowing stock gifts, the Treasury Dept contended that the policy would encourage many more donations, outweighing the additional risk/volatility. The govt said explicitly that strengthening ties b/t kids & particular corporations was part of the appeal to prospective donors."

Beginning to think I'm on some kind of "enemies list."

I just tried to get a COVID booster. The pharmacy said it would cost almost $300 without insurance. The pharmacist was shocked. I got the impression nobody without insurance had come through (yet). Shaking their head, the pharmacist asked, "Want me to cancel it?" "Yeah," I said with a sigh.

The unspoken point here is that members of Congress are arguing they're above laws their constituents are expected to follow - the same constituents who can be harassed or murdered by law enforcement officials (who are similarly immune from prosecution).

"But requiring them to report in person for a virtual hearing far from both their home & the court feels 'Kafkaesque,' Koelsch said. He theorized...the move is a strategy to increase the number of in absentia deportation orders for ppl who don’t show up in court." www.thebanner.com/politics-pow...

The President of the United States declares he is “banning” journalists from CNN, MSNOW and POLITICO from the White House. Adding that more media outlets will be banned as well.

I once again made less than $10k last year, haven't had health insurance for more than 20 years, and spent the last four years living in my truck watching outlets use my photos for pennies on the dollar. I can't afford it, and I still don't have a paywall.

"At first people thought this was some kind of edgy, satirical comedy troupe. They called themselves actual Nazis, said Lang was a fake Nazi, and wore red arm bands with swastikas...People walking by stopped dead in their tracks as they tried to figure out just what the actual fuck was going on. "

"Outside court on Thursday, Cheng said: 'If reporters’ employment rights are not sufficiently safeguarded, or when their rights are violated and not enforced in law, then we can no longer work safely as reporters.'"

A low-effort report by a conservative think tank is pushing the narrative that anti-Flock sentiment is being pushed by China and a far-left billionaire. This "study" was picked up by Sinclair broadcasting and pushed in dozens of cities around the country: www.404media.co/smear-campai...
