Sorry, not interested, but this is pretty funny. boston.craigslist.org/gbs/evg/d/bo...

I'm very sad to report that so far, the Melania movie has only sold one ticket in England for its premiere at Vue cinema's flagship London location. I can't imagine why people aren't rushing to see a documentary about her incredibly important activities, such as shopping and spa and gym visits😜

This is so pathetic (on both sides). Machado unfortunately has massively tarnished her legacy. As to Trump, I don't think anything can tarnish his legacy because it's already in the toilet. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

This bill has no chance, but does prove that Rep. Fine is in the running for the biggest Trump ass-kisser (although there are MANY candidates for the position). www.axios.com/2026/01/12/t...

Clown Show - The gov requested a stay of a magistrate's order requiring it to turh over grand jury materials to Comey because of prosecutorial mistakes. While the judge granted the order (albeit a shorter one than requested by the gov), the gov's motion contained a typo in the HEADING.

In July, Trump said the ballroom construction wouldn't interfere with the current building and that it would be near it but not touching it. Here is a picture of his view of non-interference taken today.

Of the 9 schools sent Trump's coercive "Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education," 7 have rejected it. Shout out to UPenn, MIT, USC, Brown, Dartmouth, UArizona and UVA. And boo to Vanderbilt which waffled a bit & U Texas Austin which seems open to it but hasn't responded formally.

Remember this name -Will Scharf. He’s the WH staff secretary & head of the Nat’l Capital Planning Commission who okayed the demolition going on NOW at the WH saying the board doesn’t have jurisdiction over demolition or site prep work for buildings on fed land. It’s awful.

MIT is the first university to reject signing on to Trump’s Compact for Academic Excellence, stating “scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone.” Let’s hope other universities follow suit. orgchart.mit.edu/letters/regard…

Huh?? Giuliani spokesman claimed Rudy was flagged down by a domestic violence victim while in NH and "rendered assistance." But the victim was in the southbound lanes and he was going north. So she flagged down a car going the other way on a major highway? And did he leap over four lanes to help?

Our new acting CDC head at 8:40 below-"In a free market, recipients of life-saving organ transplants would be allowed to compensate their donors." Because there are "plenty of healthy spare kidneys walking around unused." What could possibly go wrong with that idea? vimeo.com/8086466

UGH Trump criticized US museums for talking about how bad slavery was & not emphasizing "Brightness." In his outrageous attempts to rewrite history, how will he "brighten up" a museum like the Nat'l Museum of African American History & Culture? Talk about how pretty plantations were?

Kim Davis, the clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to gay couples, has asked the SC, in a cert petition, to overturn Obergefell, the decision extending marriage rights to same-sex couples. My prediction - the SC either won't take the case or will not rule on Obergefell.

Here's a statement signed by William Beach, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics under the first Trump administration, criticizing Trump's firing of the current Commissioner. Trump's next Truth Social Post will probably say Mr. Beach was a failure and a loser. www.friendsofbls.org/updates/2025...

And of course Trump just fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because he didn’t like the jobs numbers- pathetic, weak move by a baby who can’t accept the truth.

Part of a quid pro quo? And if so, what else might be next? Ghislaine Maxwell has been moved from a low security prison to a minimum security prison (the least restrictive category). www.cnn.com/2025/08/01/p...

OMG I can't wait to see the actions Trump takes against South Park and his inevitable Truth Social post - this is savage. x.com/cmclymer/sta...

Columbia caves (and lets the Trump administration basically take $200 million in already allocated funding away from it). It didn't go well for the law firms that caved - unclear whether Columbia will regret this. www.chronicle.com/article/in-e...

The SC has just allowed the Trump administration to lay off 1400 employees at the Department of Education by continuing a stay of a lower court order that had barred the administration from carrying out the plan. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Pam Bondi just fired the DOJ's top ethics advisor with no reason given- I wonder why?🤨 Read his LinkedIn post about his service.

Where the heck is the head of FEMA?? He not only hasn't gone to the site of the flooding in Texas, but he hasn't issued any statements on the awful and tragic disaster. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

The lunatic-in chief announces massive tariffs on copper. Since we can't develop new mines or restart old ones quickly, this will raise prices, disrupt supply chains and increase costs for consumers and industries.

A coalition of public health organizations and doctors' groups have sued the Trump administration in a MA district court over its decision not to recommend Covid-19 vaccines for pregnant women and children. downloads.aap.org/AAP/PDF/File...

Happy 4th of July from NYC!

President "I am totally against antisemitism" apparently thinks it's fine to use an antisemitic trope like "Shylocks." x.com/esjesjesj/st...

It's TACO time again. Karoline Leavitt said Trump’s July 8/9 deadlines for restarting tariffs are “not critical" and could be extended. Then she said if countries didn't negotiate, Trump could just unilaterally decide on a deal - in other words, he'll just say there's a deal.

Mike Lindell was just found guilty of defaming Eric Coomer, a former Dominion Voting Systems employee, and ordered to pay him about $2 million in damages. I doubt Lindell has that kind of money anymore though. apnews.com/article/mike...

Vance Boelter has been arrested. www.kare11.com/article/news...

The NIH has rescinded its policy requiring orgs to confirm they don't have DEI programs or boycotts of Israel to receive research funds. It's unclear why but don't assume it's gone- the admin might be trying to determine how to make the policy safer from legal suits. www.statnews.com/2025/06/09/n...

Typical Trump lies 1. The US Northern Command as well as Mayor Bass confirmed the National Guard was not on the ground in LA at the time of Trump's post. 2. The President CANNOT unilaterally ban masks at protests.

The gov is complaining bitterly about conditions in Djibouti where has housed some migrants (due to an order requiring the gov to give the migrants due process SOMEWHERE). But the admin has CHOSEN to keep them in Djibouti - it could fly them anywhere as long as it keeps control/offers due process.

Trump is once again trying to ban Harvard’s ability to enroll international students, this time through an EO. Even though the courts have enjoined the admin from removing Harvard from the SEVP program, Trump is relying on national security concerns as a basis for his actions.

So now Trump is trying to take away Columbia's accreditation (I assume Harvard will be next). It's one thing to try and work with a school to address issues. It's another to threaten and bully (apparently the so-called "great negotiator" only knows these tactics however). www.ed.gov/about/news/p...

Everything he touches turns to ashes.

Applicants for civil service jobs will now be required to write 4 essays showcasing their loyalty to the Constitution and the President's EOs. I'm willing to bet AI will be very busy writing some of these essays.

Whoa - Trump's gone off the rails.

I don't know about you, but I don't think this "apology" is going to help Joni Ernst. I want to know who in the world recommended she post this? www.desmoinesregister.com/videos/news/...

Pam Bondi has just told the American Bar Association it will no longer have access to vet judicial candidates. I assume this means the Trump administration is about to nominate some true stinkers as judges and is trying to limit the fallout.

The Fed Circuit Appeals Court has reinstated Trump's tariffs FOR NOW, while it considers motion papers submitted by the parties. And by the way, for any MAGA lovers, this was a unanimous opinion and 8 of the 11 judges were appointed by Democrats. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The Trump administration has asked the Fed Circuit Court of Appeals to stay yesterday's ruling by the Court of International Trade blocking many of Trump's tariffs. The admin has said if the court doesn't rule its way it will seek emergency relief from the SC tomorrow.

Judge Burroughs will leave the TRO blocking the gov's attempt to stop Harvard from enrolling ANY international students in place (she will replace it with a permanent injunction). However, I believe the gov will attempt to bypass this ruling by blocking individual foreign student visas.

Should we be investigating whether/why the MAHA report was rife with errors? Is this a case where AI was used and went a bit amok? I personally wouldn't find it shocking if RFK Jr. and his team were guilty of shoddy research. www.notus.org/health-scien...

This is just sad. Not giving visas to specific students who might be involved in activities antithetical to US interests is a good idea. A ban on students just because they're Chinese and/or studying in critical fields is myopic and flat out wrong.

While it is routine for judges to extend deadlines, Judge Xinis REFUSED to extend the gov's time to respond to a complaint b/c (i) it asked for it at the last minute, (ii) it gave no rationale and (ii) there were 5 hearings on the case & the gov never suggested it needed more time.

Canada is NOT considering the offer. Trump is like the ex- boyfriend who, in spite of being told “we are never, ever, ever getting back together,” still stalks his ex insisting it’s a possibility.

Another Trump easily debunked lie. The administration issues all visas for foreign students and Trump could simply ask his own agencies for a full list of those at Harvard. Maybe he could ask Kristi Noem to provide it after she finishes her cosplaying in the Middle East?

Sort of speechless over this one. But I doubt it's gonna improve Oklahoma's current 48th place ranking in US education (and isn't this the same guy that required bibles in every classroom?) www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

And the district court has, unsurprisingly, granted Harvard a TRO in the international students case and set a hearing for 5/29.

Unsurprisingly, Harvard has sued the gov for cancelling its ability to enroll international students. The lawsuit alleges the gov's actions are arbitrary and capricious, don't comply with relevant regulations and constitute a violation of the 1A. www.harvard.edu/research-fun...
