Netflix is putting its money where its mouth is: 💰 $2M to back Newsom in the redistricting fight 📺 A deal for Sesame Street — new episodes and the full archive free to watch. That’s how you pick a side.

Why is MSM not reporting on the disappearance of the President of the United States?
Introverts don’t recharge with sleep, we recharge by being left completely alone for 3–5 business days
“Trump” has become a catchall for anything the cabal in the White House does or say. We do not know for sure if there is still a remotely functional President Trump, do we?

Is that Trump? Anyone verifying this?
“Trump” the brand? The coalition? Are we just going to keep saying, “Trump”? “Trump” may or may not be the guy occasionally vaguely shown in distant, grainy snippets.

Has anyone verified that it is really Trump?
Russia, Russia, Russia!! HOAX!! Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Hey Congress – make Alex Acosta's testimony public and televised. There's absolutely no ethical reason for it to be private and transcribed. Nefarious AF. We need to hear your questions. We want to see him squirm. We need to see him squirm. Yet another sign of a cover-up.
600 children. SIX HUNDRED CHILDREN. Jesus Christ this country is absurdly awful. Hopefully this nightmare will be stopped. wapo.st/47SlsjY
Something press pool could ask about
This is, of course, false. The United States exported $83 billion in goods and services to India last year alone.

"Rudy Giuliani injured in I-93 crash" Byline: Carol Robidoux This article is refreshingly non-AI, journalistically solid, and packed with details. Also, it respectfully contrasts the facts as reported by first responders vs. what "was released by Giuliani’s 'head of security,' Michale Ragusa".
www.commondreams.org/news/trump-c... "We will protect our Constitution, we will protect our city, and we will protect our people," Mayor Brandon Johnson declared. "We do not want to see tanks in our streets. We do not want to see families ripped apart."
Sometimes storytelling works for a while, but the truth has a way of coming out: www.seattletimes.com/nation-world...
🚨Chicago’s Mayor Johnson speaks out against federal officials entering the city. He outlines what local LEO’s will and will not do in his signed EO. Feds are encouraged to identify themselves and not to mask their faces. 1/2

www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-... Make America Healthy Again is "a great slogan," the senator wrote. "The problem is that since coming into office Trump and Mr. Kennedy have done exactly the opposite."
Speaking of disease, vaccines, and the like... www.seattletimes.com/entertainmen...
They are hoping to get the "leaked" "real story" because they are being so good at keeping quiet.
Depending on the composition of that day’s press pool I’m not 100% positive that if they saw Trump being fully Weekend at Bernied they’d actually report it.
"Donald Trump is a dictator – and we are further along the road of authoritarianism than people want to admit." Marc Elias
Sounds like possibly a planned surgery. Keeping it all quiet. Probably sampling different stories to "leak" to the press.

In some cultural lexicons, "Good Night!!" is an expression of dismay and disgust. As in: Person A: "Did you know that the U.S. President has essentially gone missing and there are no reports of his condition?" Person B: "Well, good night!!"
Great to stop by Hyde Park and see Chef Erick Williams. This Black Business Month and every month, we’re proud to show the world what Illinois is really all about.
Many in Mexico are hopeful and excited about the idea that these newly elected judges might genuinely represent the people who voted for them and work towards true justice.

Another record-breaking year for tourism, but these numbers represent more than just statistics: they signify jobs, local economic growth, and lifelong memories created in the Middle of Everything. Illinois is proud to welcome visitors from across the globe.
Brilliant
Just add extra ketchup or salsa to the reheated eggs.
Is it him? Did anyone verify it?
Oh, Andy Borowitz. What a gem you are.
Our TV president is avoiding the TV. Suspicious AF
"No one in the administration – the president or anybody under him – has called anyone in my administration or me – have not called the city of Chicago or anyone else. So it's clear that, in secret, they're are planning this – well, it's an invasion with US troops." Gov. JB Pritzker
I would love to know more about that process because I’m sure it’s totally above board.

Is there a Trump double, like the Putin doubles, ready to stand in?
Post a video of yourself with today’s newspaper saying this
Was the alleged DV victim known to him?
The more his inner circle covers up the more it is telling that they have been the ones in power and are now fearful of losing it.
TRUMP just now: “NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE” Are you guys buying this? Because I’m not. His account has posted over a dozen times in the last hour. Someone’s overcompensating for him. What are they hiding? We deserve proof of health, not just a grainy photo of a man looking like a stroke victim.
Who was the alleged perpetrator in this DV situation?
If they’re posting old shots of Trump golfing as current, that’s a sure sign that bastard’s about to finish his 18th hole, if you get my meaning.

Greetings! I’m here at Metro Detention Centee, the site of a 24/7 protest in Los Angeles. Just got here, a dispersal order is being announced via loudspeaker by DHS.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has just signed an executive order to firmly oppose Trump's federal presence and actions in the city.
Has anyone trustworthy been close enough to verify that it’s for sure him?
Stephen Manning, this guy’s lawyer, is one of the best in the country. It’s very good news that he’s taken this case.
Why won’t Trump allow the press to take pictures of him golfing? Why does he make them wait in the tennis center?
He may be alive, but he’s definitely not well.
No press pool, no cameras… even I’ll say it’s weird.
Television legend Stephen Colbert has just signed a $13.5 million deal with Netflix for a 7-episode series.
I stand with Chicago. I stand with Mayor Johnson. 🚨 NEW: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson just signed an executive order to resist Trump’s federal invasion and occupation of the city. Details in 🧵
On a serious note, he looks like shit. Why is he so swollen?
"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:
Or he could hold a press conference to apologize for his lack of transparency...if we had a genuine press corps to ask real questions. Remember this? apnews.com/article/aust...
Anyone remember this? Really two things: 1. The uproar over a brief surgery. 2. Something called a "press corps" that asked persistent questions. apnews.com/article/aust...
DOGE wasn’t a cost-cutting venture. It was a data mining operation for private interests. Trump opened the gates to the castle from inside for invaders with bad and greedy intent to plunder and exploit.

One thing I really miss from the pre clickbait era: headlines that actually give you the gist of the story rather than trying to trick you into clicking. So bored of clicking headlines only to find they bear little relationship to the actual story.
Thank you for the update--glad she is getting great care and has your steady presence. Hoping you can rest up a bit even though there is much to do.
The statement is clear, bright, and insightful, and not to be ignored, for real. Possibly the teacher has taken a special interest and it is being interpreted as something else, but it is best to conference, safely confront, and maybe make a change.
Success once upon a time with Oedipus: Small groups choosing a scene or portion of one to perform as an interpretive "dance"--then putting the play on in that way, even managing to use the theater stage, though not with an audience or any of that.
The media needs to stop calling this an “immigration crackdown.” That’s not what Trump’s doing. He’s using the military and ICE to invade cities and occupy them. Trump is itching for a fight, and he wants it with blue-city mayors and blue-state governors. The good news: they’re not backing down.
Donald Trump hasn’t been seen publicly since Tuesday. No-one in the White House press pool saw him anywhere on Thursday or Friday. He has no scheduled events Saturday, Sunday or Monday.
Is there a 2025 version of playing an LP backwards for the secret messages?
You are clearly two courageous, determined, life-giving beings. You have been and are taking care of each other. Blessings to her and to you.

Psaki: Comer was a little slow to move forward with the subpoenas, at least in my view. Moskowitz: That’s actually his regular speed. He’s just a little slow in general.
Unconstitutional but keep going?
It’s important to stay abreast of the news, to organize, and to resist what’s happening in all ways possible, but it’s equally important to preserve your sanity. Play with your pets, enjoy your families, work on hobbies. Pace yourselves. This is a marathon, not a sprint. Love to you all.💙
Legal and constitutional experts worry Trump is laying the groundwork to use the Guard to seize control of any city he wants to bring to heel. On Monday, he signed an executive order that primes the Guard “for rapid mobilization,” across the country. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/tru...
People ask me how I stay sane when writing about this political moment is like marinating in sewage. Here is a non-exhaustive list Dogs Aa meetings Cake
I only mention it because sometimes there's a man... I won't say a hero, 'cause, what's a hero? But sometimes, there's a man.
