Walz: "If it was the intention of Donald Trump to make an example of Minnesota, then I'm damn proud of the example that the world is seeing"

The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts. The thugs wrestled him to the ground. They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times. They murdered him.

Remember when everyone was terrified TikTok would allow China to spy on Americans? Well, it looks like people were right to be worried, only they were afraid of the wrong country:

It appears that the White House edited this image using AI

“no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”

Buckle up, Massholes. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/mas...

Let see … the former head of the CFPB proposed looking into just this. www.economicliberties.us/press-releas... Trump fired him and then Russ Vought and DOGE shut down the agency.

This was murder. Trump is defending a murder, a murder committed on his behalf. America is not being made safe. It is becoming more dangerous each and every day because Donald Trump is a criminal who commands and encourages others to commit crimes on his behalf—as he has done for years.

This seems like a good way to get the National Guard to leave DC.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

The destruction doesn't make for a photo-op like tearing down the East Wing of the White House or bulldozing the Rose Garden, but it's every bit as bad. Generations of American children learned to spell and count, learned the Preamble to the Constitution, from watching shows produced by the CPB.

Rubio bringing more Latin Americans to the US, skipping the standard visa and immigration process. Stephen Miller is furious.

1/n Powerful and gut-wrenching photo-essay presentation in @washingtonpost.com by Jonathan Edwards. Investigative/explanatory journalism at a very high level. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int... If you haven't lived in DC, you may not appreciate how much this is a city of **trees**.

“We are done with junk science driven by ideological pursuits, not the well-being of children,” said Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., If only this were so regarding immunizations.

Despite anti-drug rhetoric, Trump has granted clemency to 100 people accused of drug-related crimes That includes felon Juan Orlando Hernández who is responsible for importing 400 tons of cocaine AND felon Ross Upbricht, a notorious internet drug trafficker

Usually, when I need an appointment at the VA, I can get one within 2 weeks. Today, I called for an appointment and the next available is in May, 2026. Firing 35K people will do that. The Trump administration hates veterans.

Very unclear who or what Kushner is representing in these negotiations. He can't legally represent the USA while being paid by Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar. Seriously, what is he doing? popular.info/p/kushners-m...

Good thread on antitrust issues on a merger that presents some really interesting issues. Of course, now the ballgame is about whether Trump will direct efforts to ensure Warner Brothers is sold to his Saudi and tech buddies, as well as his son in law.

Important bike event coming up this week! The Ward 3 DDOT strategic bike network meeting is on Wednesday from 6pm to 8pm at UDC in Van Ness Good opportunity to tell DDOT to bring back plans for the CT Ave bike lane as well as share other thoughts about where we need a bike network in ward 3

Headline here is that Trump says he will be involved in decision. (Yes, DOJ will have to get court to agree transaction should be blocked …)

Mike Johnson: "we've had one of the most productive Congresses in the history of the institution." (House GOP recently caused the longest government shutdown in US history and took a paid vacation for 54 days on your dime)

Most honored he’s been since winning the Mar-A-Lago club championship.

Trump frees convicted private equity securities fraudster - NYT

trump: “no see we HAVE to blow up those boats in the caribbean, they could be carrying drugs!” also trump:

TBH the fee should be higher for Americans too. $80 to visit all national parks for a year is an outrageously good deal.

This article misses the most outrageous part of the NPS press release: The Department also highlighted resident-only patriotic fee-free days for 2026: … Flag Day/President Trump’s birthday (June 14, 2026) … www.nps.gov/orgs/1207/de...

The play calling and execution in the last 2 minutes and OT of the Commanders-Dolphins game shows exactly why both teams are 3-7.

Did you know: Congressmen and women have been paid twice (they’re paid monthly) since the govt shut down. $30,000 gross each. Meanwhile Trump trying to stop food stamp payments while he has parties. And @SpeakerJohnson still has everyone on vacay

They weren't terrorists. They weren't cartel members. They had no fentanyl. And they weren't coming here. They were transporting cocaine. To Trinidad. Most importantly, they were human beings. And they were murdered. By the government of the United States of America.

He really loves to pardon tax evaders …

How about doing the same for automobiles? 40,000 deaths a year on the road and this admin basically abandoning emissions controls.

While there’s a lot of focus on the destruction, there also needs to be focus on the cost - $300m for 90k sq ft is $3300/sq ft. High end residential real estate is less than $1000. Commercial real estate $400-$800 per square foot It’s not just costly it’s massively overpriced.

For comparison, 90000 sq ft is about the size of four football fields. It is 3x the size of the interior of the National Building Museum nbm.org

Assuming they didn’t removing the portraits of Barbara Bush and Hillary Clinton (?) first.

Why stop there? I’m happy to get in a. excavator and demolish the West Wing too … won’t even provide notice.

American drivers have already brought eyes-off driving to market.

Qui tam is going to be a great legal practice to have in 2029.

Solid work by the headline writer on this story @nbcwashington.com !

Hasan: The great irony is of course that Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant. The grandson of an immigrant and married to an immigrant. In fact two of his three wives were immigrants, proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs that even Americans are not willing to do.

Trump in 2016 when Clinton called many of his supporters "deplorables": "The disdain that Hillary Clinton expressed toward millions of Americans disqualifies her from public service. You cannot run for president if you have such contempt in your heart for the American voter." (1)

Really hope this is a shout out to Trump’s House of Wings. youtu.be/YwqklRh2irA

😍 Boston, you are beautiful. #NoKings

Brilliant ‘graph in this article.

Interesting: Earlier this year, Congress prohibited D.C. from spending roughly $1.1 billion of its budgeted money. There's been lots of questions about the exact impact that had, and now there's an interesting answer: it actually cost the city more money not having that money.

Kavanaugh stop

Apparently all the tech multi-billionaires took Apple’s “Here’s to the Crazy Ones” campaign a bit too literally. youtu.be/-z4NS2zdrZc
