BREAKING: Trump-Noem DHS admits to wrongfully arresting 261 DACA recipients, 86 of whom were deported, since Trump’s second term started, per disclosure to Congress.

A brilliant writer and friend. If you have leads, send them his way or mine please
Thank you Hank. Style forever
They say you haven’t lived until you’ve been laid off. I’ve now lived once.
Gutted to see so many coworkers lose their jobs at the Post today. If you know anyone who’s hiring a politics/culture/magazine writer with a law degree who also speaks Spanish:

Marco Rubio says he covers his head with a blanket when taking naps on Air Force One so Trump won't think his secretary of state is weak for needing sleep on overseas flights.

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

The anti-Trump coalition of professional liberals, progressives, independents and former Republicans have spent the past year gathering in Washington to talk about their grim new reality.
“Democratic politicians have a problem: They are Democratic politicians. Where does that leave a Connecticut senator who’s been on the Hill for nearly two decades?”

He’s throwing WorldPride in Trump’s backyard. Who’s with him?

Capital Pride is throwing a massive pride event on Trump’s doorstep as the administration advances decidedly anti-LGBTQ policies.

“You feel like you’re closer to the moon.” You won’t want to miss this great @jesusrodriguez.work meander along the Gulf of America or is it still the Gulf of Mexico? www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...
This gulf story has everything: a map-maker debating the name change, an oceanographer listening to whales, a Venezuelan mom on a gulf-side bus ride to an immigration appt — all bookended by Margaritavilles (Key West & S. Padre Island) and, of course, SpaceX. www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...
On the Gulf Coast, no one’s really calling it “Gulf of America.” Is there anything American about it?
I went to Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, the border and the Margaritaville in South Padre Island, Texas to figure it out.

Latinos like the Ramirez family were an essential part of the coalition that helped Trump retake the White House. But any future loyalty to the GOP depends on whether he can deliver on his promises.“Now, I’m like Arizona. I’m the pendulum.” @jesusrodriguez.work

And McBride capped her first full week in office by introducing legislation, with Rep. Young Kim (R-California), to “crack down on fraudulent practices in the credit repair industry.”
In her first week as a Member of Congress, Sarah McBride introduced a bill with Republican Young Kim.

Actually, Sarah McBride does have an agenda. I spent part of her first week — a week of many firsts — trying to figure out what it is. Don’t miss the *insane* takeout order that got her to Congress.
