My newest piece in The Democracy Archive releases tomorrow at 6:30 AM!

It’s about George Washington, the erasure of enslaved people from public memory, and why honest history still matters.

This is Sheikh Said Ismagilov, Mufti of the Religious Administration of Muslims of Ukraine. He volunteered to fight for the Ukrainian Armed Forces almost immediately after Russia’s invasion in 2022. Born to Ukrainian Tatar parents. Loomer’s tweet is not ok. Period.

This is an outrageous attack on the Smithsonian, on the professionals who work there and the millions of Americans who love it. Like the Bolsheviks destroying churches - a deliberate desecration of something people respect and admire https://t.co/DRmSPk3P2K

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

BREAKING:

Trump just ordered warning signs and exhibits to be installed outside the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History to alert the public that the museum does not, in his view, accurately reflect American history.

For the record: It does. https://t.co/5b5UIkMZdu

Breaking News: Federal officials acknowledged in court documents that they canceled grants to states that didn’t vote for President Trump in 2024. https://t.co/FeH69OK3fq

something we all knew and saw at the time and yet still breathtaking to read it in print

BREAKING NYT:

Federal officials said in court documents that they halted billions of dollars in funding for energy projects to states "based solely" on whether they backed Trump in the 2024 election.

Welp @TeamYouTube another attempt by Matt Walsh and his media representatives to abuse the copyright strike system because they don't like people challenging his lost cause view of the Civil War. This is clear fair use and they've got two pending copyright strikes against me.

Aaron Mate is the same guy who engaged in Assad apologia, claiming he didn’t gas his own people. Spoiler, he did.

[Post-Left Watch (postleftwatch.bsky.social) @PostLeftWatch]

Aaron Maté equates American support for Ukraine with America's war on Iran, saying both are examples of American hegemony, and progressives can't support both.

"When you do hegemonic things, whether it's in Ukraine or in Iran, you're making everywhere else a lot more dangerous."

Fox & Friends Completely Ignores Trump's Election Speech — Doesn't Mention It Once in 3-Hour Show https://t.co/7DXtqJ7Leq

[Political Punk @actingliketommy]

You know, guys... it's really shocking the ICE agent who murdered Joan Sebastian Guerrero in Maine turned out to be a wildly unstable person with a long history of violence.

And it's bizarre how no maga are chirping about this guy's long history of violence. I wonder why(te)?

[Erin Banco @ErinBanco]

US voter data was purchased by China on commercial websites. Anyone can purchase this data. This wasn't a hack, per this specific document

[Conor J. Kelly @prog_american]

Campaign season is here. Political canvassing is protected by the First Amendment and isn't solicitation.

If you don't want canvassers at your door, just ask them to leave or post a "No Trespassing" sign. Good campaigns will respect that.

[Sam Stein @samstein]

This is really incredible. Docs released by Trump tonight confirm RUSSIA tried to spread claims Biden was engaged in criminal activity vis-a-vis Burisma and that it advanced those narratives "with US officials" and planed a "high-profile corruption scandal... at the peak of the 2020 US presidential campaign."

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

Trump's own file release tonight says Russia was working to attack Biden and boost Trump's re-election campaign.

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

You have to be a special kind of stupid to believe Democrats were capable of stealing the 2020 election while out of power, but somehow incapable of doing the same in 2024 while in power. That is a categorically, phenomenally dumb thing to believe.

[Sam Stein @samstein]

Docs released tonight echo those released already. Trump's speech conveniently left out that the biggest election interference came from Russia and was designed to get him another term. This is from tonight's batch
