It’s hard to overstate how up Marc Andreessen’s ass the media was in the early ‘90s. He was 24 on the cover of Time. I think it’s helpful to understand him like a child TV star or an athletic prodigy. A boy wonder for whom fame came early, & in the wake of it there is a hollow man.

BREAKING: Law enforcement are responding to reports of shots fired near the White House.

ABC’s Selina Wang was filming something on her iPhone at the White House when dozens of shots rang out. The White House is now under lockdown.

People are learning their city has AI surveillance cameras everywhere.

Until further notice, this is what I’ll be saying when I bail on things I didn’t want to do. I wanted to go to your 9pm show in Echo Park, but circumstances pertaining to Government, and my love for the United States of America, do not allow me to do so.

They showed this version in schools for maybe 15 years and literally no one in my class had any reaction to a black woman being in it, someone yesterday said Eartha Kitt was Helen of Troy in 1950 and I looked it up and it was Orson Welles who cast her because she was a cabaret dancer and was hot!

HOLY SHIT prosecutors kicked off grand jurors and then re-presented the case against the Broadview 6, then altered the grand jury transcripts to hide it from the judge. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

DDHQ calls it for Ed Gallrein. Donald Trump has successfully primaried Thomas Massie. A massive defeat for one of the few Republicans who was not afraid to stand up to Trump.

This is exactly the way. Find some awful Jan6 story from your state, your CD, and start talking relentlessly about it, asking people if they want to pay that criminal.

DOJ attempts to absolve Trump/Trump family of all their potential tax related crimes. If you are upset about what the DOJ/IRS are doing - don't forget who got us to this point today - making Trump - the King.

Every day brings a new set of headlines that if you'd predicted them in October 2024, you'd have been diagnosed with a terminal case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Utterly corrupt

This is one of two pieces of FP news yesterday that deserves a GREAT DEAL more attention. Landau harbored a Polish fugitive who is broadcasting right wing propaganda into Poland, then DOD withheld 4,000 soldiers scheduled to deploy to Poland.

You can't rule out Trump believing this will help keep South Florida red.

BREAKING: San Diego police say they are responding to an active shooter at a local Islamic Center.

BREAKING: It's official. The Trump DOJ just confirmed the creation of a $1.776 billion slush fund that can be used to pay Trump allies who claim they've been wrongfully targeted by the Biden admin's ‘weaponization' — including, reportedly, Jan. 6 insurrectionists.

“You wouldn’t expect,” Blessing’s [singing] teacher said, “such a huge voice to come out of a tiny body like that.”

78 WEEKS. the estimate that I continue to loosely give is that for every day of the Strait being closed, it may take a week to fully recover- we're now at 78 days- so ~78 weeks would put us roughly at November, 2027 to see global oil inventories fully recover.

Best thing all week. Maybe month.

Child protective services ripped a 14-year-old from her home to stop her from leaving the state for an abortion. They also threatened her mother with murder charges and the removal of her other child if they crossed state lines for care. So please don't tell me Republicans aren't banning travel.

Americans have collectively spent ~$28 billion more on gasoline since March 1. Even assuming a full suspension of the 18.4c/gal federal gas tax, motorists would need that tax holiday to last about 406 days- more than 13 months- just to offset those added costs
