Former Pardon Attorney: 2 days after Mr. Blanche was confirmed as Deputy Attorney General, he fired me from my position as a pardon attorney. I declined to rubber stamp a political favor for Trump's friend and it cost me my job. Blanche sent US Marshals to my home in an effort to prevent me from speaking with members of Congress.

.@elonmusk says that no one can name a person who died from his aid cuts. In fact, I've met the kids who are dying, and I've talked to the families who lost children. In my columns, I've cited many, many names of people who have died because of Musk's aid cuts. A few examples:
*Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because Musk cut funding for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. She couldn't get to a hospital and died as people were carrying her there. I talked to her parents and sister in their village.
*Gbessey Kiadu, age 1, died of malaria because of his cuts to malaria medication in Liberia. I talked to his mom in her village.
*Ibrahim Koroma, an infant, died of AIDS in Sierra Leone after he interrupted HIV supplies. I talked to health workers who cared for him.
*Achol Deng was an 8-year-old girl with HIV in South Sudan who died when Musk cut funding for the health care worker who provided her medicines. I talked to the healthcare workers.
I could go on and on. In almost every village you go to in South Sudan, Uganda, Liberia, Sierra Leone or other countries I reported in, you find people dying because of aid cuts. I challenge Musk: Come with me on a reporting trip, and we'll talk to these moms and dads, and you'll see the dying children themselves. I think if you see the kids whose lives are at stake, maybe you'll change your mind.

I’m not at all surprised that the House and Senate — controlled by the presidents party — are out of session. I am a bit surprised that Democrats haven’t returned to Washington to highlight that the GOP is on recess with DHS closed and the nation on the brink of war.

POV: You’re running for Congress, marching for justice, working for your constituents, AND tied with a 45-year incumbent. 💯

This thread about Los Angeles is worth reading, because it's beautiful and compelling and yet wrong. 1/

[John Attridge @John_Attridge]

Catchy opening! But the comma splice is unwieldy. Why dont you try "It was not just the best of times. It was also the worst of times."

[Shea Serrano @SheaSerrano]

@SheaSerrano Yes. Thank you, Shea.

"A president who doesn’t care about the law, who commands an obedient Congress and is supported by a radicalized base of tens of millions of people who believe his lies, represents a threat to the next election. I fear that millions of citizens are still too complacent. They aren’t aware of the peril we face." https://t.co/4s14QUV7NS

[David French @DavidAFrench]

Yesterday I published the piece below and some folks said it was alarmist evidence of TDS (how anyone could say that after Jan. 6 boggles the mind). And today Trump says Republicans should take over the voting in multiple places. We're still too complacent. https://t.co/4s14QUV7NS

[Justin J. Pearson @Justinjpearson]

Call these TN Senator’s Offices to demand that they not fund the domestic terrorist organizations murdering U.S. Citizens and terrorizing innocent people. ALL Democrats should ensure no more funding to these agencies even if they have failed to do this in the past.

[Gene Ludwig @geneludwig]

Read my Politico essay where I highlight how outdated measures of employment, wages, and inflation contributed to a misleading narrative about the economy’s strength.

Policymakers need better data. More: https://t.co/yHUpKljQHf

@mattyglesias Writing a 9-part argument about inelastic supply and economics as hocus pocus while including a economics chart illustrating inelastic demand...

@Berkatron @Noahpinion great idea

@IDoTheThinking I am calling for a complete and total shutdown on all housing markets until the State can provide a SFH on a half-acre yard and a station wagon to every family.

Housing crisis, what housing crisis? San Francisco just made it even harder to build homes in some neighborhoods. https://t.co/eTNJSbEafK via @sfstandard
