It amazes me how many people fail to see that Trump won here.

A tarp now covers the front of the building, effectively erasing Kennedy's name from his own Center. It appears the tarp will be there long-term.

Stop saying Trump's name was removed; effectively, *both* names were.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.

The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.
Breaking news: The Justice Department has issued subpoenas for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey as part of an investigation alleging that they are impeding federal law enforcement officers’ abilities to do their jobs in the state.

100 men vs. 1 gorilla?

How about the working class against the oligarchy?

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.

This is the real fight we need to be talking about.

Here in the US, Cinco de Mayo is a festive holiday that celebrates Mexican culture and heritage. But in Mexico, today celebrates a battle in which a ragtag force of 2,000 Indigenous Mexicans (or people of mixed ancestry) fought off 6,000 French troops sent by Napolean III.

This may be the most obscene thing this man has ever done on social media

It’s offensive at a level I’m struggling to articulate, but we can start with the fact that he’s again framing himself as God’s chosen representative on Earth when he is, remember, a _serial sexual predator_

This kind of story is why we need the NYTimes and other institutions like it. Multiple bylines, weeks of work, deep research, important sourcing based on relationships earned over long periods, and, of course, the institutional strength and money to resist any retaliation for it.

A Texas lawyer gave some informal advice to undocumented immigrants. He later had unidentified agents from ICE show up at his door.

A tech oddity: His Wifi went down right before the officers' visit and came back soon after, meaning their visit wasn't recorded.
