My read is that Bondi is about to be fired either way. Either Congress impeaches her, or Trump fires her. It will be interesting to see which other department heads see this as the normal exit of the Administration, and which ones are convinced it won't happen to them.

Huh. The baptism and rebirth didn't take.

This is like what 285+ house seats?

Makes me think of call signs. There aren't many rules when it comes to call signs. But the big one is. 1. You don't get to pick your name Same with naming shit. Other people do it. At least plant a bunch of syncophants on a board to name shit. Don't just name shit after yourself.

Wrong. The First Amendment protects our right to record law enforcement activity in public — full stop.

Don't threaten. Do. There was plenty of time and consequences built into the law.

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

Watching the spiked 60 Minutes episode on YouTube, thanks to @phillewis.bsky.social. It's not like the Trump admin didn't have its say. At about 4:15 mark, there is footage of Trump saying CECOT was "great facilities, very strong facilities" www.youtube.com/watch?v=lenF...

Wanna piss off the orange guy AND get to pile onto CBS/Bari's problems?

Between losing their Destroyers. Being so desperate as to consider CG Cutters as a replacement. Multiple murders on the high seas. And now getting saddled with a Battleship in an era of FPV drones. The Navalists are straight up not having a good time.

I can think of no better way to demonstrate that you no longer wish to be in a relationship and the person should seek companionship elsewhere.

Lawyers in the room. Why a 30 day grace period? She's already not in compliance of the law. And the law had built in time TO comply.

Cue the Dem Operative think pieces on why it's a fools errand and instead they should focus on the extinction of a specific phylum of Owl in Appalachia.

Between waymo not being autonomous because they stop when they lose signal. Tesla asking employees to work extra hours to drive their "autonomous" taxis. Almost all streaming services having ad supported, "ad free" options TikTok being banned but still operating. I miss a functioning FTC.

Why can't machine learning be used to OCR the images/PDFs? Oh right. Because there will never be money in doing it. Does seem like they could get some training data out of it tho.

Respect is earned in drops and frittered away in buckets. Has Russia earned any since Denuclearization?

As long as the political consultants keep getting paid, they don't care about winning, and the DNC is leading the Democrats into the wilderness at the behest of "professional political operatives" who are no more ideologically moored than Trump. open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

How can they buy Warner Brothers if they are running shit about CECOT?

I'm just gonna go ahead and guess anyone looking into these files should probably start with those 16. good thing this cover up is run by the best people.

BREAKING: At least 16 files from the Epstein release disappeared from DOJ's webpage, including a photo of Trump, with no explanation.

The Governor of West Virginia has requested that the Purple Heart be awarded to SPC Sarah Beckstrom and Ssgt Andrew Wolfe for wounds sustained during the WVNG's mobilization in DC. The DoD's decision on these awards will be extremely telling.

That's weird. Even if you really HATED him that would be weird. but doing it because you liked him is double weird.

This Letter of Marque stuff is dumb. Some Sci-Fi writer can now credibly do an arc about the rise of PMC corporations finding the income,supplanting the DOD and functionally taking over any nation because they are the only security game in town. Have it run by AI to get it published easily.

All of the pundits can be all of the outraged and it means bupkis unless the Senate is willing to do something about it.

#JuryNullification works.

As others have noted, these redactions appear to be blatantly illegal (assuming Fox News' report is correct). www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

... IT WAS A JOKE YOU NUMBSKULLS. IT WAS A JOKE NAME LIKE SQUID, JARHEAD, AND JET JOCKEY. Alright who's got a line on a lightly used Cutter because I know where to get an amphibious fixed wing?

Then the Commandant got Congressional approval. Wonder how long till a new policy is released?

The senate should really pass a "words have meaning" act. with Netflix having levels of add-free Tesla saying FSD isn't FSD. The Admin saying that all outflowing government money is Tariff money.

Well. if all the online farmers/ranchers are to be believed, these patriot games are finna turn into the hunger games pretty quick.

If the DOJ won't comply with Congress. I feel like Congress is supposed to do something about that. "The standard you accept is the standard you set" and all that.

"We here at Bank of America remember a time when a woman couldn't get a credit card without her husband's approval. Wouldn't that be fun again?"

The USCGs bonus being an actual incentive pay with a mandated service obligation associated with it (1 day) and opt out option is wild. For all the agonizing, surveys, targeting, and feedback the services do over incentive bonuses, this got built and approved awful goddamn fast.

Citizens United is destroying the Republic.

Continuous misappropriation of funds seems like it should be an impeachable offense.

I see why Trump's Casino went bankrupt.

Trans people are people. Trans kids are an issue between the kids, the parents, and licensed healthcare professionals. Stop being weird about it.

I dislike PAOs penchant for using a lot of words to say nothing. Show me how it's wrong. Dont just tell me it's wrong. giving me the manual and saying it says something doesn't prove any thing. SHOW me the change and how it isn't what's being portrayed.

What is the appropriate legal term for a bribe, paid before the requested quid pro quo, via direct deposit, disguised as a novel bonus? Oh and it's not allowed to be a campaign contribution.

This is literally just a bribe for officers, senior NCOs, and people with families.

What if I don't want to Klarna my paycheck bigger over the holidays?

Ken Paxton has launched a snitch line to gather reports of supposed violations of Texas' transphobic bathroom policing law. Please do not abuse this snitch line. Please do not fill it with faff and nonsense. Please do not attach huge, unwieldy and irrelevant documentation to any reports.

Can't speak for anyone else. but I can confirm that I have received a random $2000 into my bank today from the usual USCG salary account. I also have an email from ADM Lunday outlaying a forthcoming "Devotion to Duty" payment

If you are A Troop who is about to receive $1776 maybe please for the love of your NCO just spend it on strippers and alcohol and not drugs. You have a 100% urinalysis test on January 5th.

It would be very dumb to not do this because The Troops™️ are guaranteed to hold grudges about exactly two things: 1. Being told they will get time off and then not getting time off, and 2. Being told they will get paid extra money and then not getting paid extra money

I cannot imagine a more "Let them fight" than this. I hope they both lose this fight.

I love this interview with Christopher Anderson, who photographed Trump's staff for the Vanity Fair shoot. www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...

"The Sarin in artillery shells that debilitated Iraqi veterans is not a WMD but the fentanyl used legally in US hospitals is a WMD" is, forgive the pun, a helluva drug.
