Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

They are deadly serious about this. They are planning to throw millions of people off their insurance in order to afford a trillion dollar tax cut for the wealthiest 1%.

I know this may be not possible for you. But, if you can manage it, and it makes sense for how and where you live—some live locally and small already—do it. #economicblackout

“I look closely at him, assess whether he could be a murderer. There are no tells for a murderer, no secret signs.” Secrets of Mulholland Manor in @doricliterary.bsky.social doric-literary.com/2025/01/01/s...

Secrets of Mulholland Manor

The footsteps reverberate along the walls, up and down the staircases, like the deep heartbeat of Mulholland Manor. They are ghostly, phantom footsteps.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Suggestion to Americans: If you used a current bank account with funds on a recent tax return, it may be wise to contact your bank and request a change. Account and routing numbers are accessible, and Elon Musk’s staff have access to this information. Stay safe and protect your assets.

"When you're 1% of the population, it's very hard to see how the democratic process will protect you" was quite a statement at the court after the TN attorney argued that the equal protection should be declined in favor of “the democratic process.”

Reporting from the Supreme Court on transgender rights in the Skrimetti case and I feel the weight of the moment. I will report from the court throughout the day when I am allowed my phone. Thank you all for putting me in a place where I can do this work for you.

Coming to the newest issue of Cream City Review: a custom brick dinkus! Cream City, a nickname for Milwaukee, comes from our regional brick which is made of a yellow clay. You see tons of buildings around Milwaukee built in this signature material.
