Charlie Kirk's memorial service is not news

NEW: Recently we reported on L.A. honor student and track star Nory Sontay Ramos and her mom Estela, deported after a routine immigration check-in. Weeks after we met them in Guatemala, where they were in hiding, Estela died suddenly. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/d...

This is extrajudicial execution, without any clear threat to the US, no authorization from Congress, and far beyond even Article II. The military is not the president's personal hit squad. Or wasn't, until now.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

i have said this before but when “getting rid of race in admissions” for the administration means “you can’t even try to reach out to underrepresented communities and encourage them to apply and if you do it is illegal discrimination against white people” then the actual goal here is segregation

Do your mental health a favor and turn this on for today. You really don't want to watch this. It is awful.

I believe the couchfucker-in-chief just greenlit an airstrike on The Sackler Family.

Companies should be boasting about having no AI written code. That should be a proof point in their advertising campaigns. Just a matter of time.

Trump is again rambling about how he "released the water" in California. Not one reporter will point out that is the insane ramblings of a senile man who is 100% out of touch with reality.

I wrote about the humility of expertise and the arrogance of ignorance, the profound laziness that attends believing that you can find knowledge by ignoring the accumulation of inherited human knowledge, and the ways lazy arrogance fuels narratives of fascism. www.the-reframe.com/your-ignoran...

Holy shit, another one.

Trump says that when he goes to vote, he's asked for his license plate.

One problem with allowing Trump to say go on TV and say anything he wants, is that he is dishonest about 100% of the things he says. To allow him to speak is to publish lies.

This is a masterpiece. Simply excellent www.instagram.com/reel/DMVGMIC...

Noting that there's no criminal remedy after Trump v. United States, Breyer says he can't be prosecuted either. So the remedy is: "Too bad. So sad. It's over. And that's the end of the case." "Here's a statute under the present jurisprudence that we have today that there would be no remedy."

It's Monday morning, so all the news channels have to let Trump go on TV and lie as much as he wants, for as long as he wants.

Great, lets see the files then.

Every American will receive checks for thousands of dollars from the drug companies!

Has Trump's FCC announced a moratorium on mixed race couples in TV commercials yet? Because you know it is just a matter of time.

Hunter Biden has a point. And a quite colorful one.

I'm sure he can make a ton of money telling conspiracy theories to morons listening to his post-FBI podcast — and then sell them supplements and "male enhancement" pills. It's probably a sound financial move.

I think Trump just locked down Truth Social. So you have to sign up and get an account in order to read the official posts by the President. In all the madness, I realize this is small potatoes. But it is crazy to make Americans join his private social media company just to read his statements.

Don't let them get away with calling it Alligator Alcatraz. Alcatraz was where convicted criminal were sent after being found guilty by judge or jury. This is American Auschwitz, where innocents are sent to die. #AmericanAuschwitz @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy @msnbc.com www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/a...

How long until Republican Congressmen say they have to wear masks to vote, because it is unsafe for them and their families if people know what sort of things they are voting for.

When only a few dozen scientists at Google had access to a working LLM, at least one lost his mind and became convinced he was talking to a real sentient entity. Then we gave it to billions, so of course millions are going to start attaching agency and sentience to it.

No one could have seen this coming.

little silver lining: Chuck Todd isn't on the TV pontificating about how this is going to hurt the Democrats

Five things to remember about war:

Hegseth was hired for his ability to piss off decent people.

The Israeli defense minister is openly threatening the life of GretaThunberg and other unarmed peace activists on an aid ship. Where the f**k are the world’s leaders? The world’s media?

Hegseth is threatening to order the Marines to attack Los Angeles.

Imagine if Merrick Garland was as forceful in his press conferences against Donald Trump's crimes as Pam Bondi is against Abrego Garcia

Remember when SCOTUS gave Trump a "Seal Team 6 Presidential Immunity" power? I wonder how often he thinks about it.

"Just tweet through it, Bro" has never been more on point

Next time there is a D President, she really needs to hold these daily news conferences like Trump does where the press just lets her talk about anything she wants for as long as she wants.

it looks like Elon Musk has a shiner (also note Trump lying in the background that there were "no wars" when he left office in 2021)

Linda McMahon: "Universities should continue to be able to do research as long as they're abiding by the laws and in sync, I think, with the administration and what the administration is trying to accomplish."

I can't imagine anyone on the planet giving a single fuck about what John Kasich thinks about anything. Why is he paid to talk about things on TV?

“Ignorant” is being gracious to describe Cosplay Kristi Noem. The level of abject stupidity in Trump’s cabinet picks is mindblowing. Of course Noem doesn’t know what HABEAS CORPUS means because she doesn’t recognize Constitutional rights.

An objective of Project 2025 was to make life so miserable for government workers that they'd quit Welp, I guess it worked

leaf blowers are too fucking loud. There should be some regulations on those things.

There is nothing newsworthy about the fact that Diddy called his orgies "freak offs" But very serious news reporters just can't stop telling us that every time the trial is mentioned. Like it's the most important part of the trial.

TRUMP: He had MS-13 on his knuckles, tattooed! MORAN: That was photoshopped TRUMP: Terry, they're giving you the big break of a lifetime. I picked you. But you're not being very nice. (Can't post the clip here because of @bsky.app's daily video limit but the text tells you what you need to know)

This exchange is so very telling. Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this: "I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

The shelves haven't even emptied yet The layoffs haven't moved from the government to other sectors yet Food safety has yet to collapse And the first hurricane with just a skeletal NOAA or FEMA has yet to hit

Q: "Trump's strategy has been to announce these tariffs, then dial some back, pause them, make exceptions. Explain why you see this as a good negotiating strategy?" Bessent: "It's called strategic uncertainty...Nobody's better at creating this leverage than President Trump."

How about we turn Puerto Rico into the 51st state, first? Then the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, Samoa... We've got territories to add long before we threaten sovereign nations.

How can anyone with a conscience be okay with this?
