This is a scandal for the profession, a disgrace for the White House, and another blow to the pillars of our American heritage of liberty under law.

Right, because Grandma is on X.

This is corruption, plain and simple.

Amazing. This is the evidence that the government is presenting to secure the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil:

NEW: Signal has never been permitted on White House or Pentagon devices, but incoming Trump officials started using it when the Trump-Vance transition refused government IT help to avoid record-keeping laws and kept using it after Inauguration Day. https://t.co/XxvL7Y7BZm

@emollick Impressive that the screen in video2 responds to the otter clicks…It seems to assume that otters are interested in toothbrushes

The path from free speech absolutist to the Hammer of Justice is coming for those pushing positions I think are false can be surprisingly short.

Conservative lawyer @gtconway3d on Trump’s latest cabinet picks:

“If you were actively trying to do harm to the country, to destroy the country, these are the kind of people, if not the people, you would pick…Mark my word-It is only going to get worse.”

A two-tiered system of justice is when Jack Teixeira is sentenced for 15 years while Jack Smith winds down the criminal case against Trump for, essentially, the same offense.

Will Stancil's insane "Elon Musk wants to be the shadow president" conspiracy theory turns out to be... completely correct

[John Burn-Murdoch @jburnmurdoch]

We’re going to hear lots of stories about which people, policies and rhetoric are to blame for the Democrats’ defeat.

Some of those stories may even be true!

But an underrated factor is that 2024 was an absolutely horrendous year for incumbents around the world 👇

[Patrick Flynn @patrickjfl]

Hard to overstate just how rapid the changes in US party coalitions have been.

The Democrats are now the party of high education *and* high income voters. Just 12 years ago, the inverse was true.

On these terms, the Trump coalition was closer to Obama 2008 than the Harris one!

He LIED. He lied and lied and lied and lied and an army of us will point out every broken promise.

America you were hoodwinked. This will be a bumpy ride.

WOW.

Republican governor of VT votes for Kamala Harris.
