Seriously think he's trying to build Trump Casino again. The gilt everywhere, banquet hall, UFC fights. All that's missing is charging for White House rooms, slots, a Bobby Flay restaurant, and a residency for Kid Rock.

1/ I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse. Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away. Thread 👇

Why do I feel they are going to build in the same way Penelope weaves burial shrouds.

Or, could be Order 66. Although to be fair, most are more like, force sensitive, than true Force wielding Jedi.

Has a study been done on how many instructional and extra-curricular hours are lost for school kids due to lockdowns and threats? It would be interesting to frame uninhibited ownership as anti-education too. Start making lockdown hours have to be made up like snow days. That would get interesting.

MAGA: The radical Left calls for political violence! Also MAGA: The escalator and teleprompter stopped working at the UN because of radical Left sabotage. Bomb them and deport the UN!

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Not one person reading this thinks "Nah, ICE and DHS wouldn't do that at all. Would they?"

Because why should we have an organization that advises senior leaders on how to engage 51% of the population & identify what would encourage their service? share.google/VVUxJQQ8MTOf...

From the man saved from Covid by experimental medications prior to the vaccine...which he also had his administration support until the people he wanted to save rejected that...so now giving them Tylenol as the medicinal bread and circus.

“When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind, as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe, he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime.” — Thomas Paine

Show me a picture on your phone that has your current energy.

The man is running HHS, not a grifter-led wellness clinic full of mystical beliefs about observing mitochondrial health in children.

Framing this as a "The people run the Pentagon not the press.." is backwards on its face. The people don't know what's going on in DoD if the press isn't reporting. Clearly they don't want scrutiny on things like de facto war/murder in the Caribbean or Bagram plans. share.google/nOjd1tpoHynX...

While 🇺🇸officials claim a deal is imminent and that the 🇺🇸will control the algorithm,🇨🇳state media and officials have not confirmed these details.Their statements suggest a more nuanced agreement where 🇨🇳has only welcomed negotiations or given a blessing to the plan as long as it aligns with 🇨🇳 interests

There are countries where 97% of the stories would be bad about the leader, but they got rid of free speech, so it's now down to 0. Russian, North Korea, China....

What he's saying is Republicans are poised to lose locally in the mid-terms as a result of the national dynamic. For him & the party to stay in power locally he has to support this national conspiracy to secure "political advantage" (the SCOTUS framing). He fears not going along if the gamble works.

Reminder: DOW is a chemical company not the legally confirmed name of a government department.

Xi and Trump are each getting exactly what they want from the TikTok deal. Xi retains content control for the Chinese military. And Trump gets billions for himself and his political cronies through a coerced sale to them. Meanwhile Trump ignores the TikTok law which compelled its shutdown.

By the time this is done, Robert E. Lee will be the hero of events at Harper's Ferry.

Basically, do and say the things that previously we only observed at the Cabinet meeting worship sessions.

I don't know what is more tragic: Kimmel getting canceled or DJT thinking Greg Gutfeld is a comedic talent. As an aside, at what point does Jessica Tarlov getted pulled because he likes watching the 5 w/o a nominal dissenting voice or the fact that she annihilates Gutfeld daily?

Besides videos of him telling a 14-year old that going to college was largely to get an M.R.S. degree, the scandal of the summer for TPUSA was a Twitter battle of conservative influencer women slamming each other about public sex acts at TPUSA events and adultery.

Press conferences like we have in the U.S. are weird enough, but what is going on in the UK? I think they need some Carney energy in managing this.

Someone tell all those "operators" that those beards they sported for years not only had no cultural value to the fight but actually contributed to reduced readiness. Same for the person who wants to serve but for whom a razor prevents it because square jaws are ready. share.google/ablh4KgIVE6T...

This thing here, exhibit A in "the danger of leaving our ships to melt in the hot sun", is HMS Glatton. And on this day in 1918 things went even more pear-shaped than they already were...

NYT INVESTIGATION: Anatomy of Two Giant Deals: The U.A.E. Got Chips. The Trump Team Got Crypto Riches. NYT digs into links between a lucrative transaction involving the Trump family’s cryptocurrency firm and an agreement giving the Emiratis access to A.I. chips. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/15/u...

Inflation rose last month as the price of gas, groceries and airfares jumped while new data showed applications for unemployment aid soared, putting the Federal Reserve in an increasingly tough spot as it prepares to cut rates.

The the deputy secretary didn't even have the good sense to strike a serious face for the meeting to reconcile the treatment of the Korean workers at the hands of ICE. m.koreaherald.com/article/1057...

So, if you are in employee of Hyundai would you come back no matter what deal gets sorted? I'm hoping that the economic reprecussions of this blowback so hard on the local politician who facilitated this for his MAGA bona fides that it starts to rewrite the political map in Georgia.

A Supreme Court oversaw the conviction a former president for attempting a coup to stay in power. Ironic when Brazil is considered a country more capable than the U.S. of implementing the rule of law and whose politicians from both sides in general acknowledged the act was wrong and illegal.

On a day like this, I'm watching Barney Miller episodes.

Just outbriefing a turn for a wargame today.

Can you imagine your child being shot in school, and having the worst day of your life *overshadowed* by a different shooting, whose aftermath somehow will be leveraged to make it more likely more shootings will occur in the future?

Of all the days to roll out the save feature on Bluesky..

Does this mean the National Guard are getting deployed to Utah now?

And apparently Israel: Oh yeah, hold my slivovitz!

DJT: If I'd been president Russia would've never started the war. MAGA: You're right! Russia: Hold my vodka.

My 16-yr old discovers the slamming halt to getting work done called the paywall and gripes in the family group chat:

Yesterday at a restaurant I had saltine crackers which had been flash fried and served alongside raw oysters and something in my universe changed.

Doctor I trust more than RFK Jr.

There is a bit of a twofer in this one. Calling out the Strategy Cheese for being a nabob bent on selling out his own work and running an isolationist salon rather than a serious natsec office is sweet. Pulling Gallagher into being a sellout is interesting...but he went straight to Palantir, so....

Hegseth and Scheller judging how people are judged. Seems fair. Hegseth kills make-or-break Army assessment program share.google/HIhkjgU0sQUZ...

So, when shooting a boat of full of Venezuelans of questionable intent, they use the secondary title only.

The game is in full swing. Another week to go

I'm sure everything in here is medal worthy:

You can just imagine DJT's health status when his two top advisors are a guy who lost his license running the WH med office like a pill mill & a guy who does therapeutic swims in Rock Creek, eats washed up whale, & thinks a measles death is because you just aren't strong enough.

If they want to hang Robert E. Lee's portrait again at West Point I'm fine with that. In fact they oughtta have a wing of portraits of every former cadets who broke their oath to the nation & engaged in insurrection on a wall of shame as a study in misguided ethics & failure. History not erased. Win
