- Gardner Symons (American, 1863-1930). Late Afternoon, Shelburne Falls (oil on canvas).
- Amazon dropped $75M on the Melania doc — with a big chunk going into the Trumps' pockets. Since then, Amazon Web Services got a $580M Pentagon contract. And this week, Pete Hegseth visited Blue Origin facilities as the DoD overhauls how it hands out defense contracts. Always follow the money.

- Musk, Gates, Bezos, Murdoch and Thiel are the Bond Villains we were warned about three decades ago
- If anyone was laid off at The Washington Post and wants to promote their latest venture, newsletter, blog, etc, just let me know. I'll try to create a running thread here. Also, if you wanna hop on with me and promote it to our subscribers, let me know. I'll try my best.
- Suddenly realizing that in 10-20 years, the MN Historical Society will have an exhibit about *all this* and there will be a whole wall showing different types of whistles
- "They called me a domestic terrorist. They put me in federal detention centers with the bullet holes all over my body. They had no idea that I wouldn't intentionally damage my almost paid off vehicle, much less be crazy enough to even consider hurting a law enforcement officer." #ICEOutForGood
- We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

- USAID fraud - no arrests Medicare fraud - no arrests Social security fraud - no arrests Election fraud - no arrests If MAGA didn’t have the collective IQ of a moldy peanut butter sandwich, they’d realize they were being scammed by now.

- Thank you to everyone in CA including the elected officials and voters who successfully accomplished mid-decade redistricting to swiftly counter the attempted theft by Texas. Action and tangible results are so much better than gripes and strongly worded letters.

- NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons. We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team. Read more:

- Trump: I hate even talking about ICE. 2 people out of tens of thousands and you get bad publicity. Host: But it was 2 Americans who died— Trump: We have the smallest trucks. We've been very tough on the waters Host: The waters? Trump: The waters where we knock out boats

- Democracy dies in oligarchy.
- Moulton: This is state-sponsored terror. This is what you would expect to see in North Korea or Iran or the old Soviet Union. We’ve got to crack down on the government before they crack down on the American people.
- Two days ago, we discovered Trump has engaged in the most corrupt behavior of any president in history—giving secret technology to China's ally in exchange for the Trump family getting half a billion dollars. And nobody is still talking about it. #Corruption www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
- NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program. This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE. Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.
- It is terrible to see what is happening at The Washington Post. Democracy Docket is a small newsroom, but it is growing. If you want to work for an independent, pro-democracy media outlet, I encourage you to apply. ats.rippling.com/democracy-do...
- 🇺🇦🇺🇸 Ukraine has received its first shipment of American liquefied natural gas in 2026. This very important delivery will provide more than 700 thousand families, which is urgently needed during the period of Russian attacks and severe frosts
