Remember when words communicated concepts which could be combined to express ideas? Those were the days. I miss language.

This case is horrifying. The man had deferred action, was on a full path to a green card, is a college grad magna cum laude, and ICE arrested him randomly while looking for someone else:
“What do we do?” said one ICE officer, to which another replied “We’re going to take him with us anyway.”
Secretary Marco Rubio claimed no one died as a result of cuts to USAID. That’s not what we found.
After Trump officials cut food aid to Kenya, children starved to death in an American-made hunger crisis.

LOL. Don't threaten me with a miserable time
Health boss RFK Jr.'s 1-year anniversary week was packed with new disasters and reminders of old ones. But even those who should care most are MIA. GOP senators Bill Cassidy (a doctor) and Mitch McConnell (a polio survivor) top my list. My latest at @thebulwark.com open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...
Jesse Jackson-One of the greatest civil rights figures of our time… His memory is a blessing to all of us
A+ on all usage from my kids. This may not spark a genuine lifelong interest in Renaissance pottery among Gen Z and/or Alphas. But it definitely WILL generate visits to take selfies with the now-memed plate, at least. And that’s something!
A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!
It’s notable that the president can go on TV and be a total gutter racist, and somehow this isn’t news in the slightest. Says a lot about the sickness of American society right now.
The President telling a prime time network news host effectively "I got you this job" is not something you see every day.
Perhaps this is why the school is doing this @cnn.com ?

I suspect that a lot of the wealthy owners and operators of national media outlets with kids in private schools fundamentally don't grasp that regular US citizens with kids in the public schools are FURIOUS because ICE is terrorizing THEIR NEIGHBORS and THEIR KIDS' BEST FRIENDS.
this administration is seeing how far they can push the people before the people push back. and then they will declare marshall law
The FBI documented this, and while I think they’ve taken down the report on their site, the Internet doesn’t forget.
For your consideration, 2006’s FBI report “White Supremacist Infiltration of Law Enforcement.”
CNN put together a montage of Trump being vocally against regime change before he fell in love with it
Barely a blip in the news. 🦗from the New York Times editorial and opinion pages. Compare with days of Hunter Biden Hysteria about unprecedented abuse of the pardon power.
On Christmas Day.
When I was on CNN's northeast desk, the first job at 6a every morning was to read the local papers. That guided some of what the massive CNN machine followed every day.
When those papers die, CNN doesn't hire new regional reporters. What you get instead is more panel shows, more punditry.
Texas widow receives immigration approval letter months after husband's death in ICE shooting
The approval letter would've allowed Miguel Garcia to move forward with obtaining a visa or green card
NEW: Rob Reiner was a mensch. In death, he showed us that Trump is a schmuck. (He was also a friend, and I'll miss our very long lunches.)

As per usual, CAP is spot-on. Congress must pass legislation to ensure that crypto markets are subject to the same types of safeguards that govern other capital markets. @SenatorAndyKim @CoryBooker please push to close the Genius Act loophole! www.americanprogress.org/article/cong...
There has never been a President that has worked as hard as me! My hours are the longest, and my results are among the best. I’ve stopped Eight Wars, saving many millions of lives in the process, created the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country, brought Business back into the United States at levels never seen before, rebuilt our Military, created the Largest Tax Cuts and Regulation Cuts, EVER, closed our open and very dangerous Southern Border, when previous Administrations were unable to do so, and created an “aura” around the United States of America that has led every Country in the World to respect us more than ever before. In addition to all of that, I go out of my way to do long, thorough, and very boring Medical Examinations at the Great Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, seen and supervised by top doctors, all of whom have given me PERFECT Marks — Some have even said they have never seen such Strong Results. I do these Tests because I owe it to our Country. In addition to the Medical, I have done something that no other President has done, on three separate occasions, the last one being recently, by taking what is known as a Cognitive Examination, something which few people would be able to do very well, including those working at The New York Times, and I ACED all three of them in front of large numbers of doctors and experts, most of whom I do not know. I have been told that few people have been able to “ace” this Examination and, in fact,
most do very poorly, which is why many other Presidents have decided not to take it at all. Despite all of this, the time and work involved, The New York Times, and some others, like to pretend that I am “slowing up,” am maybe not as sharp as I once was, or am in poor physical health, knowing that it is not true, and knowing that I work very hard, probably harder than I have ever worked before. I will know when I am “slowing up,” but it’s not now! After all of the work I have done with Medical Exams, Cognitive Exams, and everything else, I actually believe it’s seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean “THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.” They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it. They have inaccurately reported on all of my Election Results and, in fact, were forced to apologize on much of what they wrote. The best thing that could happen to this Country would be if The New York Times would cease publication because they are a horrible, biased, and untruthful “source” of information. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.
It is driving me crazy that I’m not seeing widespread coverage of these statements by the President.
This is a big deal!
If a news organization isn’t putting this in front of their readers/viewers, they are failing at their job to inform the public.

Real ones know this. 💯
They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.
“.. A Washington Post analysis of multiple video feeds of the meeting Tuesday showed that during nine separate instances, Trump’s eyes were closed for extended periods or he appeared to struggle to keep them open, amounting cumulatively to nearly six minutes.”

Wait did he really post 150 times last night?
I…
If a family member did that, you’d be having conversations with them, seeing what help they need.
This is not fucking NORMAL. What the actual fuck are we doing here?
He’s not 60?
