Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

At the hearing in the federal courthouse in St. Paul. Fifteen people were indicted on conspiracy charges etc. and are making their first appearances. The courtroom is full, with about 100 people. Five defendants came into the courtroom, a couple with fists raised, which some in crowd mirrored. (1)

Brandon Carr, by pushing this 'review', should be on the hook individually for every penny of ABC's legal fees when his effort ultimately fails. Perhaps even 2x the fees...

Burned out from BigLaw? Fed up with government work? We're hiring a writer for LegalEagle! If you're a lawyer who can exhaustively research the crap out of inane legal subjects fast, accurately, and comprehensively, let us know. It's like writing a bet-the-company MSJ, except actually important!

Weird how a regime that continuously makes wild, unsubstantiated allegations of voter fraud chooses *not* to prepare. Guess they are just planning to keep making wild, unsubstantiated claims.

The Trumpified Kennedy Center is getting its ass kicked in so many courts at once www.lawandchaospod.com/p/trump-kenn...

When the argument is "Well... we already demolished it, so there's no remedy," then your argument is *COMPLETELY* invalid.

Scam calls have gotten so bad that now the scammers think that people will just call them back to scam themselves..... I would question if people are actually that dumb, but with the regime in charge right now, I guess they actually are...

The timing, the setup, the receipts. Pure poetry.

Good one, James T.

Hey, Texas: You could have James Talarico instead! Choose well this November.

Bro, you’re President. Act like it. Real commanders don’t write 400-word surrender fanfiction then cry that media would still call it a loss. The only one sounding crazy here is you. Projection dialed to 11.

Regulators around these "datacenters" running gas generators should just physically turn off all the generators in excess of what the facility is allowed to operate. one warning. one week to comply. then just walk around and turn them off and lock them. systems fail? too bad.

Trump may not be “insider trading” but he is doing market manipulation out in the open, touting stocks he owns and telling his base to buy them. It's wrong, and Coach T here knows it.

Streamer ponderings: Firebot vs Streamer dot bot -- Note: Migrating all stream processes to Linux, so Firebot wins on having Linux native processes, but are there other things to consider? Currently running MixItUp and happy enough with it. I can run MIU via faugus without issue as well.

For anyone that has seen the reports of the FCC crackdown on robocalls.. The proposal is bad for consumer privacy and does *NOTHING* to reduce scam robocalls. There is a core issue that needs to be resolved to enable any real capabilities to resolve the problem: Caller ID.

The money trail is right there to follow.

Beyond parody.

Hey @legaleagle.tv - I'm sure this in the hopper already, but just in case.... x.com/GavinNewsom/... I'm assuming that a future DOJ lead that actually cares about doing their job can reverse this trash... right?

I’d laugh if it weren’t such an injustice.

That is one *hell* of an opening episode to Season 8 of @gamechanger.dropout.tv! Looking forward to an insane season. Fun to see the wonderful @legaleagle.tv joining this episode as well.

Now sanctimonious Vance is going to run around the country preaching to us about “fraud” investigations while Trump pardons the worst convicted fraudsters in America leaving victims with no restitution, and they force taxpayers to pay $1.7 billion to J6 criminals & MAGA henchmen.

Ok.... The number of times some of my favorite internet people and groups are crossing over lately is truly wonderful! Seeing Sam (and several other Dropout peeps) on NRB. Now LegalEagle around Dropout! I love it!

The good taxpayers of New York have given me a pair of Meta glasses because I am low vision disabled, and I seem to have used them more than a lot of people on here, so let me say a little about my experiences:

A friend just sent me this perfect piece by Karel Čapek, trans. Dora Round, ‘From the Point of View of a Cat’.

I was considering the news about Kash putting staffers through polygraphs. It amuses me to consider that this regime is so completely incompetent, there's a decent chance of questions all including a prefix like 'did you lie to the media about....' Easy enough to truthfully answer them all 'No'

Any historian will tell you that Trump’s corruption has no parallel.

These deaths are on him as well as the parents he has misled.

Oi! @duolingoverde.bsky.social -- A full screen ad for your new app to already *PAYING* customers is *NOT* a good look. It's not looking good for renewal.

Pardon me while I try to locate my ass..... I just laughed it off! I don't give a shit if the president is good at sports or not, or if he likes golf or not. What I find hilarious about this is how much of this presidents 'brand' is built on being this godlike golfer, but is an failure. On Brand.

Just crossed the 30k miles mark on my car - 30k all electric miles and I *love* it! Never willingly going back to gas, and not just because of current gas prices. I'm pretty sure that even counting road trips, I'm still *hours* ahead of time on energy filling of my vehicle.

🎯

The frequency that @duolingoverde.bsky.social promotes 'Max' and 'Super Family' to me, as a super subscriber, is really getting out of hand. As much as I'd rather not drop my nearly 3500 streak, maybe I should look for better alternatives that don't feel the need to up-sell paying customers so much.

The way this regime ignores the First Amendment is outrageous.

Vermont enacts state law allowing individuals to sue govt officials, including *federal* officials, for violating U.S. Constitution. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/04/28/m...

The perfect choice.

I've been through 15 presidents in my lifetime, and Jeffries is right. Trump is the dumbest and it's not even close.

The fact that our leaders can’t get together and say “hey, literally everyone (including the leaders at these companies!!) want this to happen more slowly so how about…you can’t build an AI data center unless it meets requirements including zero CO2” is embarrassing.

This is not wrong.

Give this staffer a raise.

I sincerely hope that whatever unfortunate facility gets stuck with the orange traitor makes a point of serving him a significant portion of his diet in mashed potatoes.

Body of a dinosaur, mush for brains, and all the emotional stability of a spoiled toddler.

The one big advantage to removing Trump now, vs. after November, would be hard limiting the time Vance could be in the role to 6 years.

I agree that all of the trump regime is completely untethered from reality. The only thing I disagree with is the implication, through 'increasingly untethered', that the trump regime was *ever* actually tethered to reality.

It's called empathy, Christina.

maybe kids shouldn’t be gambling maybe news shouldn’t be gambling maybe sports shouldn’t be gambling maybe politics shouldn’t be gambling maybe everything shouldn’t be gambling

He said the quiet part out loud. You work for us, not him, Blanche.

Ex Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications and Speechwriting under Obama👇🏽

I know he was a drunk, but was hegseth ever even passable as a news anchor? He's certainly showing how completely inept he is as secretary of defense...
