New from 404 Media: Proton Mail, the privacy-focused email service, gave authorities data that let the FBI unmask an anonymous 'Stop Cop City' protester. It was payment data linked to the anonymous email account. From that, FBI ID'd them, then tracked their movements www.404media.co/proton-mail-...

Kristi Noem: "It reminded me of the quote that is often attribute to George Orwell that states, 'People sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.'"

[TW: graphic fracture, sound of breaking bone] Sen Tim Sheehy (R-Montana) badly breaking the arm of a Marine veteran protesting the war Iran.

It would be cool to have a legislature that acted to defend its own constitutional prerogatives and, maybe as a treat, the interests of the people it represents too.

Nine months ago, the United States "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program. Tonight, we're attacking Iran to disrupt their nuclear program. A sizable percentage of this country thinks that's normal.

This is very bad. Handing CNN to Bari Weiss/David Ellison is very, very bad.

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media. Off the top of my head: www.thehandbasket.co 404media.co www.garbageday.email Add your favorites in the replies. Fuck state-backed media monopolies.

NEW: A draft of an emergency order that would enable Trump to ban mail-in ballots and voting machines on the basis that they are susceptible to foreign interference is reportedly being circulated by anti-voting activists who say they are coordinating with the White House.

Trump's FCC Chair Brendan Carr announces the "Pledge America" campaign — urging broadcasters to air "patriotic, pro-American programming" for America's 250th birthday. One example they give: "Starting each broadcast day with the 'Star Spangled Banner' or Pledge of Allegiance."

NEW: DHS left embedded comments in a PDF outlining its plans to warehouse immigrants, identifying the architects and laying bare the gross extent of its regulatory capture. Great scoop by @regret.bsky.social: www.wired.com/story/metada...

Remember, these guys fired all the people who actually know what they're doing because "DEI" and then hired the absolute dumbest people imaginable because of "meritocracy" and... then they do stuff like leaving comments enabled in their "this is how we concentration camp" PDF.

Reporter: Hakeem Jeffries called you a wannabe king Trump: Low IQ Reporter: Why won’t you just work with Congress? Trump: I don’t have to.

It remains astounding how unfaithfully the media covers Trump’s ramblings day to day. We’re a decade into this — and his rambling gets worse — and yet the coverage continues to portray his public appearances as if they’re coherent.

Trump: "Tariffs have been used to end 5 of the 8 wars I've settled. I've settled 8 wars, whether you like it or not. Big ones. Nuclear. Could've been nuclear. The prime minister of Pakistan said yesterday that President Trump could've saved 35 million lives."

Trump claims the Supreme Court has given him "the questioned right" to "destroy foreign countries"

Trump threatens us with a good time: "They'd like to pack the court. They want to put on 21 people. Pack the Supreme Court. Maybe they should do it. Maybe we would be better off if they did it."

Trump: "Canada said, 'I hope you win this decision because if you don't win you'll actually be able to charge us higher tariffs.'"

Trump: "'President, I'd love to kiss you' -- this is a very powerful man. I don't want to be kissed my that man. But a very powerful, strong man ... he said, 'Sir, I want to kiss you so badly.' And I said, 'No thank you.'"

There is a kind of smug, dull-minded "We're just here for the show" complicity in that room. During the press conference, Trump announced, not for the first time, "I don't talk to CNN, it's fake news." Why didn't the reporter immediately leave? Why does CNN still invite his stooges on its shows?

Trump: "I can do anything I want to do to them ... I'm allowed to destroy the country."

Trump: "I want to be a good boy"

Arguing that the Court can't overturn a blantantly unconsitutional act because enforcing the decision would create a "mess" really fails a test of ex ante vs. ex post incentives. bsky.app/profile/carl...

Trump: "Today I will sign an order to impose a 10% global tariff under Section 122, over and above our normal tariffs already being charged"

Donald Trump suggests the Supreme Court is a conspiracy of traitors: "They're very unpatriotic and disloyal to our Constitution. It's my opinion that the Court has been swayed by foreign interests and a political movement that is far smaller than people would ever think."

CNN: Apparently the breakfast had been going well. Then Trump became enraged. He started ranting about the decision, not only calling it a disgrace, but started attacking the courts at one point saying: these f’ing courts

His blood pressure has got to be through the roof right now, so if anyone has a chance to ask him an aggressive question about the Epstein files, that really could make It happen today. Come on, reporters. We'll build statues in your honor.
