Trump on the reflecting pool: “We met with contractors today, will probably be forced to release and drain much of the water in order to do the necessary repairs, but will have them done as quickly as possible.” 😭

This is what a real man and ally looks like, it's a shame his teammates are fucking cowards. Props to Jacob tho, thank you for having the heart and the courage to stand up against your peers.

My thoughts are with everyone affected by the tragic train crash in Bedford, where a train driver has sadly lost their life and passengers have been injured. I’m grateful to the emergency services and transport staff who responded. There must be a full investigation, reporting as soon as possible.

This is getting incredibly pathetic. Trump now says he may have to drain the Reflecting Pool after his botched “renovations” quickly left it infested with algae. Instead of taking responsibility, he’s blaming vandalism—not his own shoddy work or the science experts warned about from the start.

Curaçao's goalkeeper, who just set the World Cup record for saves in a 99 minute game (15!), plays for Miami… in USL. He plays MINOR LEAGUE AMERICAN SOCCER. And he just stood on his head to get Curaçao their first World Cup point. The beautiful game, indeed.

U.S. Park Police killed someone today in a high-speed chase near Woodley Park. DC leaders prohibited these chases — but last year, Congress overturned DC’s law as part of this regime’s psychotic desire to hunt people. DC leaders know what DC communities need. When Congress interferes, people die.

Algae are prolific producers of oxygen (and consumers of carbon dioxide), en masse producing a huge proportion of the oxygen we breathe, which means that the greening of the Reflecting Pool might be the most pro-climate thing Trump has ever done.

I find it helpful to draw a distinction between developers being replaced by AI, and developers being laid off because of AI. There's very little credible evidence of the former, but lots for the latter. Devs aren't being replaced by AI. They're being replaced by capex and token spends.

What an honor to celebrate joy, liberation, and strength with Black New Yorkers this Juneteenth across the City and at Gracie Mansion.

Palestine solidarity march on the streets in Vancouver now. No sportwashing genocide! #FreePalestine #WorldCup

huh, usually he's inflaming the left

So the world’s only trillionaire, who hates taxes, opposes wealth redistribution, wants to cut public spending, and barely gives to charity, wants you to think he will lead the world to abundance for all if you buy his robots? How has that worked so far?

My opinion - and I've run a business with employees - is that if your business plan only works if you don't pay your employees properly then it's a bad business plan.

When I opened Q in 2012 the min. wage in Washington was $9. We opened paying $15hr knowing Seattle was gonna bump it to 15 in 2014. All my fellow bar owners were PISSED at me....because all their employees wanted to work for me & I only needed to charge 25 cents extra a drink to offset that $6.

i need to reemphasize that i saw them let a guy go yesterday with a bag of weapons

There is a reason no one decided to just go for Iran sooner. Algae, on the other hand, is regularly defeated by aquariums and waterparks, two entities that go out of their way to avoid projecting lethality on an international level.

I’m not too embarrassed that we are losing to Iran. It’s a big boy country with missiles and drones and so forth ran by stone cold killers. That’s NFL ball for you. I am a little embarrassed we are also losing to algae.

If they'd rather we move on from the pool and discuss some of the president's more significant failures, we can do that. What would they like? The tanking economy? The never-ending war of choice? Oh, I know! The president's pedophile friend and the massive coverup of his sex trafficking ring?

With dozens of self-inflicted crises on his hands, all Donald Trump wanted to talk about was his plan to renovate the reflecting pool, a topic literally no one gave a shit about. And now that he's fucked that up, his cult members are complaining that people are talking about his big project.

Counterterrorism detectives are investigating after five people were injured in attacks in Scotland's capital Edinburgh that appeared to target Muslims.

"Mr. President, we've received early reports of inbound missiles" "I CALL THE DEMOCRATS DUMBOCRATS, ISN'T THAT GOOD?" "Yes, sir, but what should we do about the impending attack?" "I'M GOING TO RENAME ICE 'NICE' AND THEN PEOPLE WON'T BE MAD ABOUT IT" "But Sir ..." "ANTIFA PUT ALGAE IN MY POOL!"

Wild Juneteenth history: Olympia was once home to prominent Black businesswoman Rebecca Howard. She ran a boarding house and restaurant where her patrons knew what was up.

Elon Musk spent $290 million getting Trump elected. During this midterm cycle, he's spent $85 million. In total, that’s 0.0375% of his $1 trillion net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.

Texas Republicans are now running scared, afraid they will lose rural voters. Rural Texans are now flexing their muscles & are strongly opposed to Data Centers. They were already mad at the Republicans for not wanting to fund public schools. The fact is private schools don’t work in rural areas

We are digging coal

looking forward to ignoring the discourse on this but it IS objectively very funny that the king of England is going to release his taxes before the president of the USA www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

v astute observation

A man who wouldnt know a principle if it fell on his head and understood nothing but the greed for office and as a result was thrown out of that office on his arse before he could finish telling his friends the address

Starmer is going to go down as the single most juiceless politician in history, imagine winning a national landslide and then being so bloody useless they threw you out a window less than halfway through the term

While everyone is rightly concerned that Trump is building a loyal army with ICE, we tend to forget he already has a loyal army of 100s of 1000s of sheriff's deputies and local LEOs who're happy to do whatever the fuck he asks.

I am such a huge sports fan, always have been, but so much of that is forgetting that these guys and gals are humans and so much of this stuff is more time and hours that I can imagine being put into something most likely ending in disappointment, often dictated by sheer luck.

I really need people to understand that Palantir is not an engineering marvel; it is a multi-billion-dollar contractual containment layer wrapped around the world's ugliest legacy open source frankenstack. It's a shitty Snowflake for companies that don't know how to do data engineering.

If it were really about *illegal* immigration, Republicans would be arresting the employers and investing in efficiently processing legal immigrants.

"If the cruelties of slavery could not stop us, the opposition we now face will surely fail. Because the goal of America is freedom, abused and scorned tho’ we may be, our destiny is tied up with America’s destiny." -Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

The 500 richest people on the globe added $336 billion to their fortunes on Monday, bringing their collective net worth to a record $13.3 trillion. Read that back. Our problem isn’t an issue of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding wealth inequality.

It is atrocious that in the US the penalty for allegedly shoplifting or being in proximity to an alleged shoplifter is death.

If you someone stealing food, feminine supplies or baby supplies - no you did not. Not ever.
