He’s threatening the free press. He wants to ship Americans to foreign prisons. He’s using executive orders to go after ex-staff who dare to speak out. He’s ignoring the Supreme Court. This isn’t politics. This is authoritarianism in real time. Wake up.

Don't let up on Signalgate. The Mueller report cited rampant use of Signal as a means of obstruction of justice. The entire discussion is fait accompli. Also guarantee it is how everyone inside this thug WH communicates. Which means the law is being knowingly & deliberately violated every day.

The Mad King is alienating our allies and tariffing us into ruin. To enrich himself and the oligarchs. He has broken through our guardrails, installing sycophants at every level of the executive branch. Democrats in Congress don’t have the votes to stop him. Republicans don’t have the balls.

With that decision, the world'll yet suffer from another pandemic. We the scientists have done our job, YOU the journalists are doing your job, the leader of the free world should do his job.

We had quite a bit of cloud cover last night, but my little #Seestar tried its best to capture the Blood Moon. Here’s a timelapse of the evening on 20 second intervals #astrophotography #astronomy #space

Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

Hold the fuck on — the Department of Government Efficiency, the entity which claims its mission is to end “wasteful spending”, was given SEVEN MILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS to cover its “expenses” in the span of a single week?!?! Are you fucking kidding me?!?

My latest. As journalists and writers, we have a duty to use language that is accurate and describes our current reality. I’m no longer going to talk about DEI/Anti-DEI. Let’s be clear. We are facing racial purges and re-segregation. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

🚨 BREAKING: Biden Leaves Office with Historic Market Gains In 2020, Trump claimed electing Biden would crash the stock market. Instead, Biden delivered: S&P 500: +55% NASDAQ: +46% Dow Jones: +39% Biden proved Trump wrong again. The economy soared under steady leadership. Results matter.

My kids golf at a private golf course. They have never golfed at the public course, and they have no plans to, but I still want the public course to pay for their private memberships. Now you know how school vouchers work.

My one wish for the inauguration is that there is a gift bag under the seats of Bezos, Zuck, Elon etc, with a single, embroidered , padded knee pad Need to protect themselves when they are on bended knee, kissing the ring 🤷😆
