What Will Become of the C.I.A.? The covert agency has long believed in the power of knowing one’s enemy. But these days the threats are coming from above.

From assassination plots to torture programs, the C.I.A.’s darkest operations have always been at the President’s behest. Keith Gessen considers what will become of the agency when its most unpredictable adversary is the Commander-in-Chief.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

WHAT OBAMA SAID 👇👇👇

“You know, don’t tell me you’re a Democrat, but you’re kind of disappointed right now, so you’re not doing anything. No, now is exactly the time that you get in there and do something,” Obama said at a NJ fundraiser.

Republican Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina said Sunday he will not seek reelection next year, a day after announcing his opposition to President Donald Trump’s tax breaks and spending cuts package because of its reductions to health care programs.

We just unanimously passed a bipartisan bill honoring the lives of Melissa and Mark Hortman & condemning political violence. As their kids Sophie and Colin said - let's continue honoring their memory by doing something to make our community just a little better for someone else.

Right-wing Republicans in Congress attack Mamdani with racist comments. The responses to Zohran Mamdani’s showing in the New York City mayoral primary were the latest examples of how some G.O.P. lawmakers have grown more overt in using bigoted language and tropes.
