what the FUCK

lollllll

Jeffrey Epstein wrote a suicide note to another sexual predator and said “Trump did all these things too and he gets to be president, very unfair”. That’s the story, don’t get all mealy-mouthed!

it’s giving

god damn DFAS, give a guy a little warning next time

😑

this is all just noise-shaped air trying to reverse-engineer an opaque “nAtiOnaL sEcUriTy” justification to oppose offshore wind because Daddy Doesn’t Like It

The story is insane. The acting head of cyber security, a Noem crony, repeatedly demanded to see highly classified information he didn’t need access to, and when staff set up a lie detector test as a condition to grant him access, he failed it. So DHS suspended the staffers.

The thing is there are racist jokes that work in terms of the joke structure being recognizable as a joke [set up, build up, punchline]. This one is like. Heh. You know what's funny? I'm racist. Delivered by a guy without charisma

jesus christ Tim find your fucking spine

Which part is the lie— the wind damage/power outages? The PSPS? Or is the idea that NIST Boulder’s backup generator didn’t fail, it was actually a cyber attack, and the facility staff is all in on covering it up?

The funniest possible outcome of calling the Warrior Dividend™️ “BAH”:

In 2014 during the net neutrality wars, Obama voiced his support for net neutrality. Republicans REPEATEDLY, for YEARS, (falsely) claimed this was an illegal, unethical affront to FCC independence. 11 years later they now insist the FCC has no independence and serves at the whims of our mad king:

apparently the answer is “all active duty* + activated reservists” which still doesn’t add up but whatever (* O-7+ population rounds down to zero)

Today we discuss the news that NCAR, a critical cog in weather research has been targeted to be dismantled by the Trump Administration and why that's a really, really bad decision. We also connect NCAR to ongoing atmospheric river events. More below or at theeyewall.com.

Absolutely, yes, do this. You will find that the main difference between those and the Caribbean/EastPac strikes is that the former were based on an AUMF and not just an insane interpretation of Article II.

They’ve released video of the first part of the Sep 2nd strike and every other one since — there are no sources, methods, or operational security issues at risk here. Just evidence of war crimes.

The government is very deliberately NOT trying to deport Mr. Abrego Garcia. Since August, he has been asking them to deport him to Costa Rica, yet the Trump admin keeps refusing to do it (and lying about why) because they want to send him to Africa to punish him. Here's how Judge Xinis summed it up.

Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

DoD confirms that two US Army soldiers and one civilian American interpreter were killed and three others were wounded in an attack on them in Palmyra, Syria.

skin care: so fuckin metal, man

WOW; a DEEPLY corrupt move by the immigration courts; clear collaboration with Trump admin officials to produce a specific result with zero notice to the party and ALSO in a situation where the judge facially lacks jurisdiction; the judge had denied a motion to reopen and the case is on appeal.

Pretty good glimpse at the kind of massive scale that would be required for the golden dome boondoggle. This caveat—that $1.1T is procurement only and doesn’t include R&D, O&M, or personnel—is important bc it would take 10s, maybe 100s of thousands of (additional) personnel to run all this.

Section 1 of the executive order is like "in order for this to mean anything, Congress must act." The rest of it is like "X department shall convene a task force to provide a list of recommendations etc. etc." It's completely toothless and this "blocking states" headline is brain-dead stenography.

1/ MUST READ: @dfriedman.bsky.social asked the Pentagon about a Goodreads page linked to the email of a top official that featured pornographic books. Then, MAGA influencer—and newly minted member of DOD press corps—Jack Posobiec threatened to smear him. Quite the coincidence! ow.ly/EpQp50XHpYo

🚨Judge Xinis finds that, incredibly, Mr. Abrego Garcia was never ordered deported in 2019. She notes that every since this saga began all the way back in March, the government has NEVER been able to produce any evidence that the immigration judge actually issued a removal order.

HUGE. Judge Xinis grants the writ of habeas corpus and orders that the government "SHALL release [Kilmar] Abrego Garcia from ICE custody immediately."

There’s no need to treat these people as anything but the sordid rabble of crooks and grifters and subnormal bigots that they are.
