BREAKING: Jessica Tarlov just slammed Donald Trump for lying to the American people by claiming to not know what Project 2025 is and then hiring its author, Tom Homan. Make sure every American sees this.

Read it slowly. Carefully. They're not even hiding it anymore.

Meanwhile in Russia: Putin's presidential aide Nikolay Patrushev said, "To achieve success in the election, Donald Trump relied on certain forces to which he has corresponding obligations. As a responsible person, he will be obliged to fulfill them."

Authors can reach a larger reader base by using Free Little Libraries, free copies, and word of mouth. One of the toughest feats an author faces is the ability to reach more readers without paying a ton of money. Let's see why these are useful👇🧵

It’s hard for me to explain the depth of sadness I feel about Jack Smith moving to vacate the remaining schedule in the DC case. All that work. All those filings. And Donald gets to just walk away from accountability. It’s profoundly depressing for those of us who seek justice.

Not that long ago, in this city, Jews hid from violence and persecution that escalated into the Holocaust. The violence we saw in Amsterdam, blatant targeting of Jews by an antisemitic mob, reiterates the importance of our work to #StandUpToJewishHate, no matter where it exists.

Yesterday I got an email from Trump selling cheap gold plated watches. 10 minutes ago I just got this email from Trump selling Sneakers. Note that none of the proceeds goto his campaign. It all goes into his own pocket. But Let me guess.. MAGA is fine with him monetizing the Presidency.
