Despite Trump’s $10 billion tax dollar commitment to the so-called Board of Peace, the Board’s operation plan, legal status and details of its funding remain unclear. So we're investigating.

That AI is utterly unable to provide such an account—that each iteration of an AI chat will produce a different answer, or non-answer, to basic questions about its own interiority—is to me very clear evidence, if any were needed, that it is not in fact conscious.

He’s not wrong

Lindsey Graham to be buried near service entrance of Trump's Virginia golf course.

It has long been journalistic practice to treat govt statements as reliable and true unless evidence shows otherwise. When it comes to ICE killings, this default should be reversed: Unless the administration can prove otherwise, news orgs should assume they're lying, because they almost always are.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Donald Trump is our ChatGPT President. He just generates answers on the spot, token by token, devoid of any actual thoughts or principles, based solely on the immediate context that prompted him. www.techdirt.com/2025/04/29/t...

The judge disappeared the “settlement” of Trump’s lawsuit against the IRS.

One of the Rule 11 sanctions is that none of the parties can call this a settlement.

Reminds me of his flip on crypto: First he said "It's a scam," then he realized he was right, and if it was a scam he wanted to get in on it and be the biggest scammer of all. Now it's: How DARE Iran charge tolls in Hormuz! Wait a minute...what if *I* charged tolls in Hormuz? That'd be awesome!

Whoa, it's some actual "law" being applied to Trump and his administration. Didn't think that was a thing anymore.

Trump doesn’t force people to do bad things. All he did was show people they could get away with being horrible if they really wanted to, and a lot of powerful people decided they didn’t need to pretend anymore. Especially those in influential positions who could push back but did not.

One thing about Trump: He knows how to make a bad situation worse.

That’s the way the Constitution was always intended to work. Congress gives the President a blank check and the President decides how to spend the money and who benefits.

As I said before, the “parasite now causing explosive diarrhea” is RFK Jr.

These are people who simultaneously believed that Biden wasn't really president and Trump was still in office AND that Biden was an incompetent president ruining everything. They can believe everything and nothing simultaneously. Brains 100% vaccinated against reality.

To my point above: "DEI" might originally have meant something specific, but once it has passed through the RW media stupidification filter, it just means ... "them."

On the farm, when there’s a problem, we don’t stand around pointing fingers or throwing mud—we work. That’s exactly how I’ll serve you in Congress. To restore the ACA subsidies and protect Medicaid. While my opponent focuses on political games, I’ll stay focused on getting results for my neighbors.

Remember when trump said he’d make America respected, that’s not what this looks like

BREAKING: At 9:53p, the Second Circuit, via Judge Eunice Lee, denies Trump's request for an immediate administrative stay. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

the more accurate read of Slaughter imo is that the Republican justices on the Court stole a bunch of power *for themselves* and deigned to share some of that power with Trump ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/supre...

The thing about Trump flailing into pure incoherence as the eyes of the world are upon him is his whole demeanor says he thinks he's absolutely nailing it.

I don't know, man, I think if Joe Biden had kept confusing Zelenskyy with Putin and Iran with Japan, the media might have made a pretty big deal about it?

Jim Acosta says all the Trump vanity projects should be torn down: This is like the end days of Saddam Hussein that we’re seeing right now, with the way he’s trying to build things and take over projects down in Washington, D.C. It does not speak to somebody who is at all healthy.

First photo is Oval Office under Dwight Eisenhower. Second, under his successor, JFK. One was five-star general and Supreme Commander of allied forces on DDay. Other a wounded USN veteran of WWII. On July 4 weekend, a baseline of non-Versailles, zero-gilt dignity that can someday be restored.

Gov. Beshear should demand proof of life. If his state has lost a senator, its people deserve to know and deserve a replacement. The seat doesn‘t belong to the Republican Party.

Don't want to speak ill of the dead, so getting this Mitch McConnell take out now. He saw Trump with complete clarity, as a danger to America, but protected him anyway. Perhaps more than anyone, he had the power to end Trumpism, but chose party over country. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/jan-6-and-...

Actual threats to the world.

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor denounced SCOTUS for allowing Trump to shape the federal government through arbitrary dismissals. “Put simply, today the majority reshapes our Government,” Sotomayor wrote. https://bit.ly/3SrtZF8

This makes the DOJ 0-9 is seeking voter records.

Federal law criminalizes the deployment of federal troops to any polling places unless "necessary to repel armed enemies of the United States." New York law prohibits immigration authorities from accessing polling locations without a judicial warrant.

i saw this the other day not exactly what you asked for but so close

Trump is so self righteous when he valiantly pledges to fix things he broke.

That’s my America. To be clear, DHS is welcome — even encouraged! — to start acting like it’s their America, too.

Anybody who remembers these campaigns knows that Obama was getting attacked in ways 10x grosser than McCain/Romney were. Nobody was spreading conspiracy theories about where they were born. (Even McCain, lol.)

People are going to grab pieces of this and keep it as a souvenir. It will be this generation's Berlin Wall.

If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250

Nothing would be better for Democrats @blakegendebien.bsky.social and @amoriell4ny.bsky.social in #NY21 than the kind of acrimonious Republican primary described by the @TimesUnion

I overlayed yesterday’s footage of Trump wandering off at the G7 on this video of Hannity describing Biden as dazed and confused at the G7

The bottom line is if you’re a Democrat running for president and your obsession is with flipping GOP voters and operate under the assumption that you have the base and they have nowhere else to go, you’ll probably lose. So maybe stop doing that and instead focus on whipping up your base.

If politicians really want to “save childhood,” they can start by ensuring every child has three meals a day, a safe place to sleep, and safe access to education. Banning social media does nothing to help kids who don’t have basic resources.

A Dem House should impeach Trump/top officials, defund parts of the government to force compliance with the law, and fully enforce subpoenas. On the pod, @andycraig.bsky.social lays out what this agenda should look like. "Congress is the preeminent branch," he says: newrepublic.com/article/2118...

He's not working, it's not the president's house, and you're celebrating the assisted suicide of a once great nation.

The first, but not the last, image like this. We will tear it all down.

Observation from life, having been around longer than this guy (and married to same wonderful woman since age 21): I have yet to meet a man who goes out of his way to bait others as "barely straight," who doesn't have issues of this sort himself Have never met a "real man" who bothers with this BS

NOW: Construction workers are at the Kennedy Center preparing to remove Trump's name from the building. LIVE FOOTAGE HERE: www.youtube.com/live/aAhm880...

1/2 My God! This appears actually to be happening! www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAhm...
