Trump didn't need a ballroom or even a bunker when his supporters stormed the capitol and threatened the life of Mike Pence. There's no bunker at Mar a Lago where he spends nearly half his time. The only reason for a ballroom now is to hunker down and refuse to leave office.,

Very interesting thread (on threads) updating the French lawsuit against X, Elon Musk and Linda Yaccarino, posted by @zennotdead - who I can not find here on Bluesky. There are seven posts, of which number five is most interesting. I'll try to post them in order... #$TSLA #$SPCX #SpaceX #XAI

“The Department of Justice did not respond to a request for comment, or clarification, about whether Cohen, Comey, or Gill were eligible for funds.” www.bbc.com/news/article...

The Department of Justice has been taken over by the Death Eaters.

Key excerpt from the court hearing in Chicago “Broadview 6” case. Worth a read. For a federal prosecutor, this is shocking misconduct. They are destroying our beloved DOJ.

TODAY: Andy McCabe and I discuss the case against the prosecutor that emailed herself Volume II of Jack Smith's final report, and why Kash Patel has a keen interest in keeping that report a secret. Free to listen: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

Another example. Chief Justice Roberts' wife collecting "commissions" from lawyers who would later argue cases before SCOTUS. www.forbes.com/sites/nichol...

We have THE BEST justice system that money can buy. 💰😾🦇

Texas limits eligibility for Medicaid to families living below 15 percent of the poverty level, meaning that a family of three earning more than—get this—$4,098 annually is not eligible for any benefits. trib.al/oCa2Pny

Among the dwindling number of Pearl Harbor survivors is Freeman Johnson, who is considered the oldest among them.

Oh no, the deal is already breaking down. It was supposed to last at least until they could manipulate the market on Tuesday

(THREAD) Let me reframe this. Blue states FUND red states as red states say that it is BLUE STATES that live off others. Blue states adhere to the CONSTITUTION as red states CLAIM to love it but undermine it at every turn. Red states adore the CONFEDERACY but lecture the rest of us on patriotism.

Trump has announced the closure of the country’s primary bee research lab, which has sparked alarm among farmers, beekeepers, scientists, and people just like you and me as the honeybee population collapses across the country. Ballrooms and wars or bees? Nov 3rd, 2026 youtube.com/shorts/IotX-...

“My only regret,” Rhodes said in the days after Jan. 6, “is that they didn’t bring rifles.” “We could have fixed it right then and there.” www.lawfaremedia.org/article/oath...

We'll see what Judge Mehta has to say about this motion. There's no adversary here. Back when Trump's DOJ tried to vacate the charges against Mike Flynn, the judge asked for a third party to weigh in. They decided not to drop the charges, forcing Trump to pardon Flynn instead.

Here’s a thought — Maybe these people don’t deserve to be handsomely rewarded? (From NPR)

After a privately funded border wall in South Texas faced legal issues and claims of shoddy construction, President Donald Trump denounced the project. His administration has handed the company behind it billions to build more of the wall. With @texastribune.org and Big Bend Sentinel

So Trump will pay the Iranians $25 bn to buy peace. Sounds like a resounding win, doesn't it?

Is Trump paying Iran $25B to open the Strait?

We have *never* before seen consumer sentiment this low.

Was I just imagining the years of work by Jack Smith and the DOJ and the prosecutions brought against dozens of people including Fuckface von Clownstick? You should be aiming your ire at people like Eileen Cannon and SCOTUS. I'm sick of reading the revisions of history claiming nothing was done.

Why didn’t I share Trump’s truth social post about an imminent Iran deal as though it were fact? Oh, I dunno. From the Chief National Security reporter at Reuters:

Lindsey Graham: If Trump ends the war without ensuring Iran isn’t perceived as a threat to the Strait of Hormuz, “it makes one wonder why the war started to begin with”

I didn’t know Greenland had entered a teen beauty pageant.

Trump now has 10 days to do war stuff

Wow. They’re openly defending the deletion of DOJ records about a man accused in a child solicitation case who assaulted police on January 6. Truly the Epstein administration.

CBS News Radio is shutting down Friday night after nearly a century on the air. The storied service started in 1927 and gave rise to such icons as Douglas Edwards, Walter Cronkite and Edward R. Murrow.

Now tell us how much Trump, his family, and his businesses have increased in wealth since he took office.

Trump Yesterday: "I wasn't involved in the creation of [the $1.776 billion slush fund] and the negotiation." Trump Today: "I was the one who decided how much money would go into the $1.776 billion slush fund." He lies about everything.

It is so effing boring to be hit with BS doomer posturing so regularly. Again: 1) Midterm elections matter 2) Presidential approval matters a lot in midterms 3) Public opinion matters b/c it tells us something about who we are 4) It's good that Trumpist populism is failing as a long term project!

It’s all rigged.

Even Republicans can't stomach the idea of insurrectionists getting payouts for beating Capitol Police and getting charged and convicted for it.

Court dismisses Kilmer Abrego Garcia case for vindictive prosecution, finding charges were filed in retaliation for his habeas corpus petition. DOJ is destroying its presumption of regularity. www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

We are very far off the cliff, folks. @CBS should be avoided entirely. Shame on them.

Trump rushes back to White House. - Weekend golf plans scrapped. - Top officials cancel holiday plans. - 'US preparing new strikes against Iran' - CBS. - Iran's army READY for 'enemy foolishness' — Tasnim.

That part

When you lose the coach, who’s taken more hits to the head than every player he’s ever coached combined… Tommy Tuberville breaks with Trump and says no anti-weaponization fund money should go to individuals who assaulted police officers. www.al.com/politics/202...

JUST IN: A day after the collapse of the "Broadview Six" case, attorneys for the former defendants have filed an emergency motion seeking preservation of U.S. attorney's office emails and texts about the case. A motion for sanctions will undoubtedly be filed down the road

Experts are projecting that the war in Iran will cost taxpayers $1 trillion. The people in charge just gave the richest 1% a $1 trillion tax break. And they really want us to believe SNAP and healthcare are the problem?? Get real.

Hey, Mitch. You could have prevented ALL THIS by voting to convict him and bar him from holding office again. Asshole.

NOW who wants to defund ICE goons?

omg😱 "Parente also said that while Judge Perry thought only 30 lines in the transcript had been redacted, prosecutors actually left out entire pages and never informed her."

"Judge April Perry gave a summary in court of her impressions. She said she had reviewed thousands of pages of grand jury transcripts in her career and had never seen anything worse than what she saw in these pages." www.cbsnews.com/amp/chicago/...

TRUMP: "We have total control of the Strait of Hormuz" TRUMP MOMENTS LATER: "We want the Strait of Hormuz open"

Now that the U.S. government must refund most tariffs, Walmart says it might put its refund money toward lowering store prices. Executives say the cost of gas has shoppers increasingly under stress. n.pr/4f0ucIu

Trump: It's called a triumphal arch. It's usually done for victories in war and things. It was meant to be built, for many years. The circle! People pass that circle and say, 'Why isn't something built here?' We don't need Congress to sign off on it. We're doing it.

Happy to vote for anyone who vows to tear this thing down, provided it’s built.
