The Justice Department yesterday announced that two businessmen are in custody for allegedly smuggling Nvidia H100 and H200 chips to China. The alleged smuggling network “threatens our Nation’s security by funneling cutting-edge AI technology to those who would use it against American interests,”

So DC Metro police and park police will now accompany the National Guard, including the additional 500 that are being deployed, on patrols. Who is being kept safe, the citizens or the guard?

Witkoff said “We presented what we call the Trump 21-point plan for peace in the Mideast and Gaza. I think it addresses Israeli concerns and, as well, the concerns of all the neighbors in the region.” www.cnn.com/2025/10/09/p...

Pfizer Gets Three-Year Reprieve From Trump Pharma Tariffs by agreeing to sell drugs to TrumpRx. Are you kidding me?!

WTOP as really stooped low on this one. Hottest club? It's a tacky Days Inn courtyard (sorry Days Inn).

I tuned in briefly to the Kirk memorial and a News Nation reporter was interviewing folks who didn’t make it inside. In the background was a giant rack filed with Trump MAGA merchandise. So classy.

Amazing how the party of Free Speech is reacting to...checks notes...Free Speech.

Charlie Kirk was shot in Utah AND two high school students were shot in Colorado. Which one are we going to hear about more?

It was bad enough for Tim Cook to grovel before Donald Trump with that golden award. He's now making the latest iPhone in Donald's skin tone.

Translation: We billionaires need massive amounts of electricity for our AI to make us trillionaires and put people out of work, and we thank you for being able to convince so many dopes into paying a lot more on their electric bills over the next few years to make it happen.

“Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.” ― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism

JFC.

The Republican Party insists that “wokeness” is the gravest threat to freedom—while shrugging at concentration camps, secret police, and mass detentions without trial. Pronouns in bios are tyranny. But throwing immigrants in cages? Just good governance.

Heard that Dr Phil’s Merit Street TV went bankrupt. Tuned into his channel today and it’s been replaced by a Latin/ Spanish station. Chef’s kiss!!!!

The protests were waaaay more fun!

Everyone in the viewing stands around Trump (including him) look bored to death watching the parade.

#nokingsday in Alexandria/Kingstown VA.

OMG. Trump is playing clips of CNBC from the oval office on a laptop to make himself look better. Pathetic.

This is a batshit crazy quote. “This Department of Justice believes that the 2nd Amendment is not a second-class right,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “And we are glad to end a needless cycle of litigation with a settlement that will enhance public safety.”

Insane. Families were told in a video call with no warning this was coming.

From what I can find, tariffs on China held over by Biden from trump’s first term were 25% or more. Now they are 30%. Only a 5% hike. How is this going to stop the flow of “cheap Chinese goods” into the US? Reshoring business to the US was never a goal.

WTF www.cnbc.com/2025/05/12/k...

This article literally says nothing about how this agreement "decouples" us from China other than "we are going to produce our own steel". An absolute joke that's juicing the markets.

Saquon, you are dead to me. 🥲

Georgetown Law Dean William M. Treanor announced on April 22 that the Law Center would offer tuition discounts on select LL.M. degrees and continuing education programs to current or recently separated government lawyers. Learn more: bit.ly/3GlVU32

D.C. peeps: Next Tuesday, I'll be doing a @profsandpints.bsky.social talk at Penn Social at 6 EDT on "Trump Versus Free Speech." Details here: www.ticketleap.events/tickets/prof... Hope to see some of you there!

Putin is a true pro.

Shocked, shocked, I tell you…

The fact that the administration is doing this under the guise of anti-semitism is pathetic. They let neo-nazis march on Charlottesville with police protection.

Did Jim Cramer on CNBC really say that colleges in the US don’t stress engineering? Clearly he hasn’t spoken to parents whose kids are trying to get into Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech, Pitt, Carnegie Mellon, WPI or any other school to major in engineering. WTF.

On @wtopnews.bsky.social this morning, the newscaster announced "The Trump administration is resisting pressure to return a Maryland man from a prison in El Salvador". No, no, no. The administration is defying an order from the Supreme Court.

The new McCarthyism. They don't care if a muslim or jew requested a holy holiday off and was denied, but care if a christian was.

Trump to Bukele: "Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It's not big enough."

Why does the media keep referring to the Blue Origin thing as "a mission" with "a crew". It's a glorified amusement park ride for the rich.

I believe the way it works is that since Josh Shapiro survived an assassination attempt he was anointed by God and can ignore the rule of law, right?

Omg. Adam Schiff is on MSNBC saying that GOP allies will start abandoning Trump if he keeps this up. That they’ll be more scared of their constituents than of Trump. Has this man learned nothing????

I knew there was something fishy. A huge announcement then silence. They touted he was the east coast leader of MS-13, but our local news channel found that he was only being charged for illegally possessing a firearm. They have an easy out now.

I’d love to see Jake Tapper reinterview the CEO of that steel manufacturing company who was thrilled, and I mean thrilled, with the tariffs.

It’s giving dictator.

Wondering...where are Zuckerberg, Bezoz, Tim Cook, etc. Why aren't they on news channels supporting Trump's tariffs and telling everyone to "stay strong" while their company stocks are in the toilet? They so smugly poured millions into his campaign and basked in the glory at inauguration.

P.O.S.

#handsoff. Washington DC.

Ready for Saturday in DC.

We can’t afford to send grants to schools so they can buy fresh produce from local farmers for lunches , yet…
