It’s a cliche, I know, but he was my shadow. I adopted Oscar as a kitten in January 2008 because, frankly, I didn’t think anyone else would. He was the last of his litter and clinging to the door of the kennel when I passed by — almost like he was begging to be adopted. So I did.

Just got off a coordinating call with law enforcement, MDOT, MEMA, and National Guard leadership. Assets have been swarmed—from drones to first responders to wreckers—in order to clear the stalled vehicles in North Mississippi on I-55 and assist those stranded on the road.

While I’m sure oppressed Iranians are heartened by his words, I regret to inform them Lindsay Graham has been a feckless lump of protoplasm for at least the last decade.

Dear @JeffBezos, I’m an avid Amazon customer and devoted reader of @washingtonpost. Please don’t let the paper’s brilliant coverage be watered down at a time Americans need reliable journalism—particularly in their capital—more than ever. #SaveThePost

Trump: You can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns. It's a very unfortunate thing.

This compilation of video angles makes a prima facie case that the two agents who shot Pretti should go to jail for a long time. I’ll await the investigation and trial. But if there’s no trial and no real investigation, I’ll go with the video evidence.

A frame-by-frame assessment of actions by Alex Pretti and the two officers who fired 10 times shows how lethal force came to be used against a man who didn’t pose a threat.

We did a focus group last night of swing voters—Biden 2020/Trump 2024—and there is not simply awareness of the Alex Pretti killing, but genuine outrage. Many wanted Noem removed.

Local police routinely, put officers involved in deadly shootings on administrative leave until an independent investigation is concluded.Ā That should happen immediately. I can’t recall ever hearing a police chief immediately describing the victim as a ā€œdomestic terroristā€ or a

Stephen Miller should be fired. And he and the federal government should be sued for wrongful death by the family of Alex Pretti.

On a Washington Post online chat with readers today, the first question was about what's ahead for our beloved newspaper. Here's my answer, which the Post published online: I can't confirm the rumors because I don't know what management is planning. But as a 40-year veteran of

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a tactical success into a major victory.

It’s some kind of a shame that it took two tragic street killings of US citizens captured on video for members of the Republican Party to finally find the courage to admit this was a terribly incompetent and dangerous way to enforce immigration law. Glad they made it, but still..

I almost appreciate how Trump has exposed how vacant every single high profile conservative belief was: free speech, states’ rights, letting the market decide, NATO, right to bear arms, democracy, all of it. It’s been an empty, malicious political project for decades and decades
