Full letter from Mayor Wu: "The United States Constitution establishes that local governments, closest to the people, hold the authority to enact public safety policies without the threat of unlawful interference from the federal government."
CSPAN@cspan
Boston @MayorWu (D) on Justice Department letter to "sanctuary jurisdictions" to fully comply with immigration enforcement: "The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is ... Stop attacking our cities to hide your administration's failures."

Democrats said defunding the Corporation for Public Broadcasting would impact the emergency alert and warning system. Republicans called that “lying and fearmongering”.
Turns out, it was just the facts.

The president is wrong. Mark my words, the leaders of the free world (NATO members, sans USA) will defend Ukraine to the end. And, in the end, we will celebrate Ukrainian membership in NATO - along with the other democracies opposed to the dictator currently in charge of Russia.

Trump announces that Ukraine will not get Crimea back and and no NATO for Ukraine

This is Madison Sheahan. After graduating college in 2019, she became an aide to Kristi Noem. In 2024, on Noem’s rec., Jeff Landry named her Director of Louisiana Fish and Wildlife Service at age 26.
In February, Noem made her ICE Deputy Director, despite no relevant experience.

Can't piss off the president with bad jobs numbers if you don't publish the jobs numbers.
Olivia Beavers@Olivia_Beavers
👀 “E.J. Antoni, the economist tapped by President Donald Trump to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics, suggested suspending the agency’s closely watched monthly jobs report, arguing that its underlying methodology, economic modeling and statistical assumptions are fundamentally flawed.” “Until it is corrected, the BLS should suspend issuing the monthly job reports but keep publishing the more accurate, though less timely, quarterly data,” he said on Fox Business. foxbusiness.com/politics/trump…

Yes, our Constitution recognizes *pre-existing* human rights -- rights that exist by virtue of our humanity, not our citizenship.
This concept is foundational to our republic, going back to the Declaration: "All men are created equal" and "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights"
That's why the Bill of Rights and Civil War Amendments consistently use universal language rather than reserving rights for citizens alone.
There are certainly rights that can be reserved to citizens alone (voting, for example), but not our most basic human rights, including free speech, due process, and free exercise.
Patrick Jaicomo@pjaicomo
What Jeremy is missing—clear in the Constitution—is that our rights are not granted to us by the government. They are inherent in us as people. This is why the Bill of Rights is written as limits on the government’s power to abridge, infringe, or violate rights.

Washington, DC is a beautiful city.
DC is home to 700K people and welcomes millions every year.
We have the #1 park system, fantastic public schools, and a tremendous public transportation system.
And we are at a 30-year low in violent crime.
It's important for all who live here and visit to know how beautiful our city is and how proud we are of all that we've accomplished.

This means the Trump administration believes they should be able to fire any government employee, at any time, for any reason, or no reason at all.
They want loyalists, not workers.
This was on page 535 of Project 2025.
More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS
The Director of the White House Office of Personnel Management just said that all government workers should be “at will” employees. This comment comes as the Trump administration attacks federal unions and tries to erode workers' rights.

Agree with this analysis. First militarization of LA and now DC is next scene of autocratic repression.
Richard Stengel@stengel
Crime in DC is at a 30-year low. It's not even in top 10 dangerous cities in US. Throughout history, autocrats use a false pretext to impose government control over local law enforcement as a prelude to a more national takeover. That's far more dangerous than the situation he says he is fixing.

A year ago today, I posted on FB that a dude won gold in Olympic women's boxing. A shitshow erupted. I've lost 300 friends, lost clients, and had my faith, empathy, and humanity called into question. My best friend from SF unfriended me. 10/10. Would do it again. Women matter.

The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you’re overreacting.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar
Trump mentions NYC, Baltimore, and Oakland, says "they're so far gone," and adds, "this will go further. We'll starting very strongly with DC."
English
Crime in DC is down 35%, and was for safe for tourists already.
Smoke and mirrors from the US President, and Jim.
Just manufactured fiction justifying deploying federal troops.
Friends, don’t tell me Jim is conservative - because this isn’t it. 🤦♀️

President Trump: “People are coming from Indiana and then they get mugged? Not going to happen. Because by the time you set your trip, it’s going to be safe again.” Thank you President Trump for making our nation’s capital safe! 🇺🇸
