No cross today. Hmmm.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

67. I fear that the only thing that can restrain Trump is the threat of 67 senators voting to convict him (and Vance). Sure, it's going to be tough, but we can't rely on the Supreme Court or anyone in the executive branch to restrain him. If only there was a way to get #67 to go viral!

Two mass shootings over the weekend by two Iraqi war vets. 8 more casualties of the Iraq war and the NRA.

1/3 I'm excited about every episode I create - why else would I do this (for free!) - but this time I get to talk to some of the greatest poker players in the world, including the guy who literally just won the WSOP Main Event? This is going to be SO. DAMN. FUN.

We should be even more concerned about what Noem said just before @padilla.senate.gov started speaking than we are about how he was assaulted and handcuffed.

We all need to start doing this. Send the White House paper airplanes with our messages on it as a protest. (But I'm not sure if the 1st Amendment would allow us to fly them over the White House fence without getting arrested...)

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

JD Vance has been arguing a lot on Xitter today, but he still found time to play Wordle.

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Anyone know how to schedule replies on bsky? I thought of a funny joke about today's wordle but I don't want it to be a spoiler. I signed up with @buffer.com (which looks like a great tool) but you can only schedule new posts, not replies.

Yeah this quick line is pretty revealing — no clear order from Trump, just underlings asserting different readings of the tea leaves

It's not uncommon for principals to put things together for a president's final sign off. Presidents are busy. But you can't read these texts and not get the strong sense the actl commander in chief isn't really part of the convo, not literally or figuratively. Out to lunch. Weekend at Bernies vibe.

Perhaps the most concise way to think about this is that Musk has pranced around bragging about cracking down on fraud and abuse, finding the bad guys. Meanwhile what he's actually done is enable perhaps the biggest splurge of fraud and tax cheating in history. For him and his pals.

It is human trafficking.

We expelled the wrong South African

Wordle 1,357 3/6 🟩🟩⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩⬛⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 I HATE my 2nd guess.

Step 1: Commit crimes. Step 2: Suck up to Trump to get pardoned.

"Miami" John Cernuto has the most poker tournament cashes all-time. He is now on hospice in Las Vegas. I count myself lucky to have played and even cashed with him several times over the last 20+ years. This picture, taken by @bjnemeth.bsky.social, was from a WPT tournament in 2005.

Weekly flu surveillance report, versus last year this week.

Yep. Probably a bad sign when the FBI Director nominee repeatedly takes the 5th

The US has become the shining bully upon the hill.

If Harris had promised Kennedy the nomination and Kennedy and Shanahan had thrown their support behind her, the election could have easily swung the other way. We’d still end up with Kennedy as the nominee, but the Senate might not confirm!

No one has ever done this—TWICE—by accident. On camera. Before an international audience. Again, I've lived a long time. I have never done a Nazi salute. My parents, uncles, in-laws, etc would have gone berserk. I've seen this explained away as "autism." If so, keep him miles away from govt.

On Dec 6, 2023, a year ago tomorrow, a gunman murdered 3 UNLV professors. A 4th professor, Bot Rith, was critically injured. This is his story. www.unlv.edu/news/article... Imagine being a student in his class, learning economics and so much more. I want to enroll in UNLV, just to take his class.

Of course, if Biden had stated it plainly—Trump abused his power to launch this investigation, and intends to corrupt DOJ far more in his second term—it would raise questions like: What, other than pardon your son, are you gonna do about it while you still can? www.offmessage.net/p/biden-owes...

Biden should pardon everyone who Trump and his current and soon-to-be-henchmen have threatened with a political prosecution, then resign or ask to be impeached and convicted, with Harris having a brief term as President.

No, medical questions shouldn't be left to the "democratic process."

Right, Nancy Mace?

Will @bsky.app hit 20 Million users by midnight ET tonight? vqv.app/stats/

Debate over whether Trump's 1.7% popular lead is a mandate misses what's happening. Of course nor; of course he'll say it is; & of course this is bickering over a pre-Trumpocene term. We fight fascism not because of its vote margin but because it's fascism. Had he won by 20 pts, we'd fight fascism.

What's the best way to repost your own posts from Xitter here? How about quoting or linking to a post from Xitter?

Should Piers Morgan have had Dan Bilzerian on his show? I'm a bit torn by it. On the one hand, it gave Dan a platform he shouldn't have to spew his hate. On the other hand, Piers further exposed Dan's antisemitism. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KICY...
