It's a shame about the fascism and the likely end of DC home rule, but at least Mayor Bowser gets her wish of forcing workers back into the office. #DCPolitics

Look, I'm already in a bad mood because I'm at the courthouse at 8am, there's no need to make things worse by giving a major role in the juror orientation video to Samuel Alito.

If bogus charges are pursued to punish SPLC's reporting, it will be reminiscent of Missouri governor Mike Parson's vendetta against journalist Josh Renaud for exposing a security flaw in a state website.

SPLC exposed the identities of authors on the anti-LGBT, anti-immigrant "news" site Not the Bee. The site was ineptly coded and was publishing the "secret" information in the source code of its pages. I hope SPLC is ready to be charged with CFAA violations, and that any judges involved are smart enough to understand that using "View Source" is not hacking.

Looks like one of the few glimmers of good news in this hellish time may be snatched away. Infowars is back and might stay.

Our country is truly sick, and providing a profit motive for imprisoning people certainly hasn't helped.

I don't believe that Patrick Mara and the rest of the DC local GOP have any real knowledge of or ability to affect what Trump and congressional Republicans are going to do to DC. It's not reassuring to be told yet again that they actually have no intention of doing something they repeatedly talk about.
Also, pretending that the Republican Party hasn't changed in 150 years is absurdly dishonest. It has not been the party of Lincoln or Frederick Douglass for a long time.

I think the demon attack on Tucker Carlson pushed him to a new level of weirdness. He now says the US government has been targeting Christians for death since at least the 1940s.

Sadly, rather than talking about Trump's chief health adviser RFK Jr wanting to ban vaccines, it might be more effective to talk about how he wants to ban Cheez-Its and Captain Crunch and Diet Coke. But whatever works.

It's hard to know what parts of this explanation by Jeff Bezos are the worst. There's referring to journalism as "our profession", as if he's a journalist. There's claiming that choosing 12 days before the election to make this policy change was just an unfortunate coincidence. There's the idea that this sort of blatant interference will increase trust in the paper. Oh, and there's not even taking ownership of the decision, saying only "It was made entirely internally."

It's no wonder we're going backward on #VisionZeroDC if this is how a council member behaves: "In April 2023, [Trayon White] was stopped by Maryland police for driving without license plates and refusing to show his license and registration to police."
