We need to open completely car-free safe streets around a lot more than just schools

Just a reminder to the Trump administration:
It is not the medias job to make the president “look good” by reporting good things about him. It’s their job to keep the people informed which holds the government accountable for their actions.

it goes underdiscussed that leavitt is genuinely a terrible spokesperson; her whole, entire job is to sell the president's message to the public and she is comically awful at it. i'll give her that the president's message is usually incoherent and insane, but, still
DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.
He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.
The grift continues.
Not electing Kamala Harris has got to be the

And just like that we’re back to “Department of Defense”
I agree with a lot of this, worth reading:

Congress needs to end this illegal war.
I’m calling on all my colleagues to vote yes on the bipartisan War Powers Resolution today.
Himes: I have a theory on how this ends…
You’re going to see oil go across $100… Projections for economic growth are going to go down.
And at some point in 3-5 weeks, the president is going to say this is really not tenable. And he’s going to declare victory and walk away.
Most of the media is demanding that everybody supports the war effort. Well, sod that. This is an illegal conflict, launched by a decrepit American to distract from his domestic problems, which has already killed hundreds of women and children. I didn’t back the Iraq war in 2003. Nor this one!
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.
No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.
Worth a watch.

I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them.
I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.
Blumenthal: "I have emerged from classified briefings deeply concerned and very fearful that we're on the precipice not only of an escalating conflict that in region, but also putting troops on the ground b/c that is almost inevitably the path the admin has chosen by its current tactical approach"
Like Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
The battle between the Pentagon and Anthropic couldn't have come at a worse time. AI safety is no longer a hypothetical problem; it's a real concern for the world we live in today. And the US Government's demand? Move faster and break more things. My cover story: www.economist.com/briefing/202...
Sometimes you learn things when you do an interview with a chief executive. And sometimes, you learn things when you do not in fact do an interview with a chief executive:
Correction. Orwell never said this. He did however, warn that: "political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” (That's Politics and the English Language, one of my favorite essays)
CNN: Approval for President Trump's East Wing ballroom project – from a government commission that oversees planning for federal buildings and land in the nation's capital – is delayed after it received over 32,000 comments from the public overwhelmingly opposing the construction.

🧵 @jburnmurdoch.ft.com is spot on about the conditions in his FT piece. Liberal democracy held it together thanks to growth, good demographics, and the promise of a better future. Those days are gone, and that’s the "why" behind the erosion. However...
Let’s make this happen! :)
If I were Ukraine, why would I even bother to give advice to the United Stares on how to deal with Shahed’s

Yeah that checks out
"We're fighting to win the war"
We are a week in and absolutely nobody has any idea what the political aim we're attempting to achieve is. Win what? Literally what are we fighting to achieve at the moment.
I have absolutely no idea atm if we are close to winning because I have no idea what we want
The restrictions Miller and Hegseth railed against were designed to prevent us from doing things like slaughtering children en masse.
