As Trump's Iran War drags on, the Pentagon has agreed to buy interceptor drones from Powerus — a company backed by Trump's sons Eric and Don Jr. Trump used to rail against the military industrial complex. Now his family profits from it.

Trump has surrendered to Iran unconditionally?

“Area Man Passionate Opponent Of What He Imagines BlueSky To Be”

"Bluesky" is the new catchall villain for people who say stupid things for a living.

We told you this was going to happen but at least trump got that ballroom

Sky is too cloudy to take photos this morning. Oof.

(June 1944, Normandy, France.) Sherman tank with azimuth bearing. "It’s set up so an observer stood behind the tank on an assaulting landing craft [on D-Day] can read immediately what direction the turret is pointing so he can lay them on to shore targets quicker." #WW2 #HISTORY

Everyone just forgot about this

We don’t talk enough about how weird—just weird!—it is that so many GOP and admin officials spend so much time just standing around the Oval watching Trump do stuff. All of these people have jobs! Sometimes important ones! But just being the awkward backdrop of the Mad King’s rantings matters more.

The Robert's Court is the crowning achievement of the Lewis Powell memo from 1971. Josh Marshall: The 2024 presidential immunity decision, a ruling contradicted not only by all the history of the document but its clear language. Every last word of this column. SCOTUS is a traitorous cabal.

A definitional aspect of Bluesky is the absence of an algorithm as the default.

Listening to infosec people freak out over Mythos is so tiring. Like, bro, your local water treatment plant runs Windows XP, your mobile provider's hardware is older than you are, and the protocol that routes internet traffic is secured by everyone just agreeing that hijacking it would be uncool.

Hegseth's being asked about Clausewitz!

So far not one of the @democrats.senate.gov have asked about Trump ending a civilization when discussing the DoD budget in this committee hearing. Embarrassing.

His name is Jules? Come on y'all don't sleep on the Pulp Fiction gifs here

This is not an exaggeration. Alex Jones is allegedly bankrupt but has an infinite well of dark money to pay lawyers, sell pills, and harangue judges and the parents of dead kids. This stay must be lifted so we can take over, and I hope journalists look into where he's getting and stowing his money.

UNCLOS is in tatters. With the United States renaming and blockading Gulfs. Russia seizing maritime territory. And now Israeli pirates operating off Greece.

Cannot stress enough that what's happening now and will accelerate over next few weeks is a big spike in fuel costs paid for by every American that will flow *directly* into insane, unprecedented profits for American oil companies. They're going to be the big winners of this.

In times like these, I think about Mike Ehrmantraut dressing down Walter White after he kills Gus Fring youtu.be/qKnK-hkL_DA?...

You may not like American hegemony, but you are certainly not going to like what happens when American hegemony is gone

Something controversial I believe is that the Democrats failure to connect their rhetoric on Trump to real things they can do about Trump under color of the law is part of what is causing violence. You keep lying to people about how you are fighting for them, they will find other ways to fight.

Disqualifying thehill.com/homenews/hou...

Scott is an idiot clown. I don't want Trump dead or murdered. I want him to experience consequences for his criminal deeds for one time in his whole miserable life. He's a billionaire con man that has gotten away from everything including murder and rape. Impeach, remove, convict, prison.

It's literally the same people running the same playbook.

Or when he kept talking about how incredibly hot he found Ivanka and how he totally would be f***** her if she wasn't his daughter *wink* on The View, Howard Stern show, and in the White House. People were shaking in anger and disgust after meetings. Kelly outright told him to stop.

Clear your mind for moment and understand this. We are altering the very #climate of the planet in a way that's dangerous for our own survival and the stability of our ecosystems. With only a few exceptions, our politicians are not only looking the other way but actively making the problem worse.

Holy shit. Holy. Shit. Trump sent the Gestapo to kidnap kids and shoot helpers in HIS TOWN.

lol

Excuse the sourcing, but I haven’t seen this reported elsewhere yet: The alleged WHCD gunman had an account on Bluesky and boosted posts critical of Trump (His account was started in November 2024 and was suspended this morning.)

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I mean if nothing else it should be clear that Trump didn’t & doesn’t care if anyone but himself had been injured or killed including the compromised & collaborative press that was present.

I keep thinking of the Idaho teacher who refused to take down her "Everyone is Welcome Here" poster and then resigned in protest, demonstrating more courage than the millionaires who attended the White House Correspondents Dinner.

At least as it concerns him personally, all the bribery stuff isn't about the money. He hasn't the foggiest idea whether he has $3 billion or $5 billion, that's meaningless. It's the power play, the token of submission, people bending the knee with a show of loyalty and thus implicating themselves.

MAGA accounts tweet in unison about the need for a White House ballroom following WHCD incident

I don’t want to hear Stephen A. Smith floated as a 2028 candidate ever again.

So, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff was the one who tried to start the USA chant? Imagine that. Shots fired! Get down! And the White House Deputy Chief of Staff is trying to start the USA chant. Just like Butler. Because when shots are fired, that’s the first thing out of my mind and mouth!

The single largest threat in this country to the First Amendment was the guest of honor at the event you willingly went to. You lost all credibility tonight. Was it worth it?

The press looks ridiculous honoring the man trying to destroy the 1st amendment for speech he doesn’t like and who endangers the media by regularly calling them the enemy of the people. The media needs to accurately report on this White House, not smooze with them.

Trump is just lah-dee-dah fine after another *alleged* assassination attempt & he demands: “LET THE SHOW GO ON”. The “SHOW”? 🙄

Karoline Leavitt being interviewed by FoxNews: “There will be shots fired” tonight.

New video shows U.S. Secret Service dragging Vice President JD Vance from the venue after shooting at White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

Donald Trump called Somalis “animals.” He said Haitians eat dogs and cats. You fucking journalists had a party with him and now you want our sympathy. Fuck off.

Here's the initial block list of those who attended the WHCD tonight. Adding names as it becomes clear they were there.

Won’t someone PLEASE think of the welfare of the Washington journalists who didn’t get to finish their meals and had to leave their coats behind tonight? They only got to take two bottles of booze on the way out! Ugh.

UPDATE: LMAOOOOOOOO

If a powerful and evil person reviled my colleagues, and dehumanized them, and said they should be executed for treason, and I went and broke bread with that person at an event to promote and celebrate and normalize him, I would be a shitty person, and I hope people would be shitty to me.
