A real thing said by Kayleigh McEnany: “What message does that send when you can just throw sandwiches at CBP officials?” I’m not sure she will like the answer.

The President nodded off during a talk on obesity & dementia given by Dr Oz. Secretary of HHS immediately pulled an “exit, stage left” when someone collapsed during a White House press conference, & the President did whatever this is. The writers of Veep would reject this as too implausible

1977: why would the bartender in star wars even care if some robots with artificial intelligence came into his bar 2025: ohhh ok

Bass: We have to stop this mess. The idea of having troops go through the park and disrupt a children’s summer camp, or drive through the streets and just pick people off… So our city attorney is leading the way. We are filing a lawsuit and calling for an injunction to stop this.

The last professional sports franchise in Chicago to host a home playoff game were the Bulls after the 2021-2022 season. The Bulls lost to the Milwaukee Bucks 4-1 in that series, and the average ticket price was $221.

When Donald Trump was running to return to the White House, much was made of President Biden’s cognitive abilities. This reporter and others, though too few sadly, tried in vain to call attention to the unhinged elephant in the room - Trump’s mental state was a much bigger story," -Jim Acosta

The Dept of State has "temporarily" halted new interviews for #F1 student visas as it is working on new rules involving expanded vetting of social media accounts. This represents a substantial escalation in the administration’s efforts to scrutinize international students seeking to study in the US

So there is this little thing called the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System or SEVIS that tracks all international students in the US. It was implemented after 9/11. Pretty shocking that the President doesn’t seem to know it exists.

I was just identified by a platform specializing in the training of AI models as someone with fluency in traditional Chinese writing, so we should definitely give Elon’s 20 something year old AI bros access to critical government systems.

Sec Noem. Credit cards exist.

A Federal Court Judge has issued an order blocking the administration from deporting noncitizens to third countries without due process. Who is taking bets as to whether the administration actually follows this court order? abcnews.go.com/amp/US/judge...

One of the Venezuelans who the government tried to render to El Salvador's slave labor prison was able to avoid removal and make it to immigration court. The government presented no evidence of gang membership. Zero, zip, zilch nada. This is why due process exists.
