“if he can order the Navy to operate as a presidential hit squad on the high seas, any number of grim hypotheticals could become reality sooner than Americans might expect,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues:

No Lie detected

🧵 FCC chief Brendan Carr is executing Project 2025 plan: Heritage Foundation's blueprint to override the Constitution. About killing PBS: "The next conservative President must finally get this done and do it despite opposition from congressional members of his own party if necessary." (Page 278)

I know it's frustrating when lawyers point out when something the administration is doing is not legal. But responding with "the law doesn't matter anymore" is really unhelpful and defeatist. Clarifying the law is important because it reminds us not to comply in advance and to resist and take action

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie told the House Judiciary Committee that the FBI has the names of at least 20 people tied to Jeffrey Epstein, including prominent figures in the music industry, finance, politics and banking.

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

🗣️ IT'S A FORBES FRIDAY!!!!!! Catch me in FORBES today talking about #TheDoubleTax with Janice Gassman Asare, how Black women are America's Canary in The Coalmine, and why we cannot afford to ignore how Black women lead and live our lives! FOUR MORE DAYS!!! Preorder: annagifty.com #blacksky #econsky

I didn’t agree with Charlie Kirk on much, but he was 100% right about this.

This is the kind of personalization that will be very useful to a seasoned Death Penalty defense attorney.

It’s why the word ‘hallucinations’ in relation to gen AI is misleading. When humans hallucinate, it’s because something’s misfiring in our brains. AI hallucinations are not a mistake. The system is doing exactly what it was intended to do. That’s why they can’t fix it, because it’s not broken. 13/

It really bothers me that we're not talking about how the GOP cut DC's funding before invading.

Raskin: In any event, if he really cared about public safety in DC… he would not have pardoned 1600 insurrectionists and violent cop beaters on his first day in office. 

NEW: In addition to her sex offender waiver, Ghislaine Maxwell has an “out” designation that would allow her to leave the facility for work assignments. Some work assignments for FPC Bryan inmates are at Texas A&M University which is just 6 miles away. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/muellers...

Can some smart lawyer explain how DOJ is allowed to notify third parties they're in the Epstein/Maxwell grand jury transcripts w/o violating 6(e)? storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The dam has burst

Analysts were instructed to flag the names of prominent perpetrators from the Epstein files because “we don’t want to take anyone by surprise.” My latest: open.substack.com/pub/muellers...

ATTN: If you're one of the Treasury employees that handled Epstein's Suspicious Activity Reports, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

Hey Jake Tapper, fodder for your next book!👇

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz after touring "Alligator Alcatraz": "These detainees are living in cages. The pictures you've seen don't do it just. They are essentially packed into cages. 34 detainees per cage...they get their drinking water & they brush their teeth where they poop, in the same unit"

Just a reminder that USA currently refuses to _sell_ air defence to Ukraine. #UkrainianView

Over 450 drones, 46 cruise missiles, 10 ballistic missiles, and 4 hypersonic aeroballistic missiles russia launched at Ukraine tonight. #russiaisaterroriststate #ukrainianview

And today I just want to say this: after more than 3 years russia is now able to launch 477 drones and 60 missiles in one night. And the world doesn't care and look away or directly support and financing this terror even. #UkrainianView

If you don't want to shoot down missiles over Ukraine - sooner or later you will shoot them down over your own home. Because cowardice and weakness never prevented anything. Nor does lies and hypocrisy. #UkrainianView

Around 100,000 march in Budapest Pride in open defiance of Hungary’s ban https://twp.ai/4inuDS

Horrible day in Kyiv today... Russians deliberately targeted a lot of apartment blocks, causing many fires, destruction, and casualties. Please continue supporting Ukraine, and donate to the air defense to prevent such tragedies e.g u24.gov.ua/sky-sentinel #UkrainianView

#UkrainianView A kind reminder that when #Russia bombed Ukrainian Atomic stations, damaged electricity and cooling supplies (this creating a nuclear threat), mined ZAES, used Chornobyl as a military base and attacked with drones sarcophagus (one that isolates nuclear waste). There was a silence.🔽

My latest - with @legallyabigail.bsky.social - we explore the legal impacts of the now retired Musk/DOGE actions and the damage it has done, or more precisely, the foundation it is developing for #Project2025. www.forbes.com/sites/hessie...

I voted for you dude, but I gotta say I’m pretty annoyed and frustrated by how you’re just ramming C5 through the house with no brakes or serious concern for the enduring histories, cultures and contributions of the peoples you’re talking about. Do better.

This is nice but only performative if you don't acknowledge, respect & listen to their concerns regarding Bill C5.

BREAKING: PLEASE SHARE Christian Stephen, a member of the US military was placed on a 72 hold in a psych facility for posting this video stating that he wants to uphold our Constitution.

Following the President’s decision to bomb nuclear facilities in Iran, I’ve directed our public safety teams to be on heightened alert for potential threats to Minnesota. While there’s no known threats at this time, we’ll continue to monitor the situation and respond accordingly.

Why are no headlines focusing on the unconstitutional and dictatorial nature of this action?

Take note.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

World War 3 kinda sucks, but you know, it was either this or pronouns

Have any members of congress sued over the new illegal ICE detention facility inspection restrictions yet?

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

By the way, the US striking Iran’s nuclear facilities and infrastructure gives Russia the green light to strike Ukraine’s nuclear facilities & infrastructure. This is another reason it’s forbidden under international law. Trump is escalating danger everywhere.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
