The only similarities between Elvis & Trump are 14 year-old girls, drug addiction and impacted bowels but I guess it Depends.

Someone or someones made $580,000,000 in exquisitely well-timed oil trades that took place 15 minutes before Trump's dubiously optimistic post about the negotiations with Iran. Gift link ⤵️ giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

New — I collected stories from travelers at airports around the country on Monday after ICE agents were deployed to help TSA. No one understood beforehand why they would be there, and after a day with them around, it’s no more clear. Read the multi-city dispatches:

A normal Congress, especially one whose members took their oaths seriously, would impeach, convict, and remove a president who started a war without seeking congressional approval, pardoned his insurrectionist goons, independently dissolved agencies, prosecuted his opponents, impounded funds, etc.

A normal Congress would simply pass the bill, have the President veto it, and then override the veto

Yo @governor.ca.gov this guy is mocking you.

Incredible scene: Travelers wait on hours-long security line at George Bush International Airport in Houston while Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA” blasts through the speakers. (video shared directly with me)

I’m ready for someone’s funeral. Band of Horses playing Everything All the Time at the Showbox in Seattle.

📢 PSA: If you’re flying out of LaGuardia Airport today, you should plan to get there at least THREE HOURS early. The TSA PreCheck security line goes outside into the garage! The Republicans totally own this chaos. Tell them to stop blocking the bills that would provide clean funding for the TSA.

Trump could have sent any number of groups to the airports to help TSA. He chose ICE for a reason! Because it’s another opportunity for them to kidnap people! Airports are a great place to find people! You think ICE quotas are gonna disappear at airports??

Something I cannot emphasize enough is that airport security work is immensely stressful and constantly provokes arguments and disputes between security and travelers. ICE is acclimated to responding to angry backtalk with summary beatings. It's going to happen. It's gonna be on camera.

it’s just remarkable how dedicated this administration is to making people’s day to day lives worse in every way

Things are going great!

You absolutely don't ever have to hand it to Tucker Carlson.

what are we doing here

I fly and travel for living, but I’m not flying anywhere with masked goons with immunity at the airport. @alaskaairlines.bsky.social @flysea.bsky.social

11,000 Japanese citizens stormed their parliament demanding their PM stop following Trump into war. 82% of Japan opposes this. Protesters surrounded Japan's National Diet building today chanting: "Japan's FUTURE is not in Washington. Stop bootlicking Trump."

my question as always is where is the opposition to this? Shouldn’t elected officials be going to their local major airports and putting their bodies on the line and shouldn’t there be rhetorical line held by this oppositional party? This is what politics would look like in a “democracy”

When Scott Bessent was a little boy, I wonder if he thought to himself, "I'm going to grow up and lie to millions of people to cover up for a murderous dictator."

Record heat is colliding with a snow drought across the Western United States, where snowpack accounts for much of the water supply 🎁 www.nytimes.com/interactive/... w/ @byscottdance.com & @sachimulkey.bsky.social

Rather than using sanctions as tools to uphold international law, this administration uses sanctions to punish those seeking to uphold it.

They will be at airports in blue states and blue cities

i’ve always said the generally hellish experience of going through TSA would be improved by bringing in other federal agents with no understanding of airports who love to shoot people

Waking up every day and reading the news

MAGA not beating the Death Cult allegations. Trump's also doing an incredible demonstration of doublethink over Iran, its both totally defeated and still needs defeating. truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...

This country is literally coming apart. Mass flooding in Hawaii, massive uncontrolled wildfires in the Midwest, oppressive heatwave in the west coast and Southwest. Price of oil & groceries skyrocketing daily. Stagflation. Mass chaos at airports. Cruel leadership inflicting pain on its citizens.

If there is one thing I’ve learned is that if a project is struggling, adding a bunch of new trainees always helps, especially if they’re being paid and you’re not, and they’re the reason you’re not being paid

“The Phoenix Police Department will not discipline any officers for their roles in a massive city scandal where officials invented a fake gang and then falsely charged protesters as members back in 2020”

I think we just need to make this shit mandatory.

Vaccines were once so uncontroversial that McDonald’s restaurants put the childhood immunization schedule on their tray liners. Now, as the U.S. government sows doubt, preventable diseases could come roaring back.

r/conservative commenter on Trump. Setting a new record for being so close to getting it. You physically can't be any closer to getting it

Absolutely outrageous officiating as is tradition

The US President casually announcing his intention to commit war crimes on social media. That's where you're at, America.

GOP: We won't fund airport security if it means we must reform ICE practices. Dems: Let's pay TSA and not inconvenience travelers. And then legislate ICE issues. Decent people: I feel for unpaid TSA, But I'll wait in a longer line so others are not shot dead or kidnapped without legal cause.

I told my wife, who is flying home from Austin today, enjoy the last day of normal travel.

Pelicans are long are fuck. Awful matchup for the small Cavs

Silly 1993 me thinking the Stone Temple Pilots & Candlebox phase were the same thing.

“I think buying oil from Iran when we are at war with Iran is a bad thing.”

They’re the ultimate Gen Z male athlete

Monday - Send more troops Tuesday - Say we’re ending war Wednesday - Send more troops Thursday - Say ending war Friday - Send more troops Saturday - Golf Sunday - Golf

The right will try to repeat their lies that the Mueller Report "exonerated Trump" or "proved Russiagate was a hoax," but it did no such thing. It was a damning account of Trump's corruption by a foreign power, whose impact was limited by a cowardly Congress and complicit press.

With airlines cutting flights due to Trump’s energy crisis, it’s a great time for him to send ICE thugs to the airport. Brilliance on every level

Robert Mueller, a Vietnam veteran with a bronze star for heroism, and a purple heart has passed away. Perhaps his biggest honor was trying to save our democracy. I REFUSE to let him be a punchline for our deranged president. Robert Mueller was a hero and may he rest in peace and watch over us. Amen.

Giving away the game here that ICE is his own mob he will deploy if his demands aren't met.

Remember when people were fired for *reposting* accurate quotes from Charlie Kirk after he was killed.

This cruelty is being done in our name. Shame on this administration. Shame. 13,000 third country deportees so far. Many were ordered deported decades or even generations earlier, but no admin previously would have considered something as inhumane as this as a means of carrying out a removal.

I just took a picture of the president on my walk with my dog.

This is like Anthony Bennett's shot chart from his rookie year

Obvious now this wasn’t Carter’s first rodeo. He just existed in a world where putting your mistress on the work calendar was another day at the office. Sources told Dispatch it was “weirdly brazen” yet Board still needed an outside source to tip them? Plus Bellamkonda didn’t know? Please.

The decedents of these folks feel the exact same way as their great grandparents because they’ve never felt any consequences.
