#3 is the key here but given #2 I think this will backfire? Few will actually see any money here and everyone will realize it’s a shitty way to run things and resent the administration even more than they normally would’ve just for playing games with them

Wow! Very impressive for them to do all of this in 2020 while Trump was president and they weren't in the government! Very normal post from the President of the United States!

like a toy chihuahua barking at me from a tiny purse, that’s how much it hurts spotify.link/5CtPfZuWJXb

Cool. Release the Epstein Files.

Worth a shot

Stephen Miller's grim threat that Democratic officials could face arrest for "seditious conspiracy" if they try to hinder President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown was met with widespread backlash Friday night.

leading the way through the first! #MILhockey

“Merrill” Garland ..

Boat strikes put US service members in legal jeopardy: "Some junior officers have asked military lawyers, known as judge advocates general or JAGs, for written sign-off before taking part in strikes .... It does not appear that such memos were furnished, said one of the people."

Absolutely incredible stuff coming out of Bozo The Clown School of Economics. 1. convince everyone you're going to fix the economy by slapping tariffs on everything. 2. Tell Americans that other countries will pay the tariffs, even though tariffs are paid by importers (you). 1/5

Watch this. Open your eyes to this brutality. ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man. Now share this. Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back. You have power. Even sharing this video exerts that power.

NEW: DHS is asking companies to submit plans to turn standard 4x4 trucks into AI-powered watchtowers—combining radar, cameras, and autonomous tracking to extend surveillance on demand. by me @ wired:

A federal jury this week found a private company that runs detention centers liable for the 2015 death of an inmate in Louisiana and awarded the man’s family $42.75 million in damages.

Maybe we should all apply and then wash out of the academy.

finally, under compulsion, the UC admin will share the details of trump’s demands. but our trust in UCOP & regents is shredded by this episode. still: three cheers for the UCLA Fac Association and its allies! 👏👏👏

I assumed that second quote was satire, or at least a paraphrase. It’s not. The thug trash said that.

“Tricia McLaughlin said protesters “shot at agents” with fireworks and threw objects at agents [and] Agents...gave protesters multiple warnings. The video of the incident does not show protesters throwing rocks or fireworks at agents, nor can agents be heard warning protesters.”

I don’t follow the NBA, but the betting scandal is a big deal, and I hope the NFL, NHL, and every other league are looking at it and realizing how absurdly stupid this embrace of sports betting has been. I don’t care how much money it brings, it’s going to kill professional sports if left unchecked.

The overarching theme of Trump 2.0 is that reality doesn't exists, that the material world is simply fodder for Posts, and that if something gets attention and retweets the people trying to stop you are irrelevant scolds. And they're going to extend that principle to actual war on a foreign nation

it’s beyond comprehension that scenes like this have become routine in chicago. masked soldiers are carelessly lobbing chemical weapons—that are banned from use during warfare—on random residential streets. this is the third time feds have tear-gassed residents in chicago *this week!*

Treasury Dept employees got a second email last night telling them again not to take pics of the demolished East Wing of White House, a Treasury employee tells me. Why? Because the images are devastating, of course. Demolition of the East Wing is complete as of Thursday.

Agent admits to being an immigrant himself—and says "yes" when asked if he purchased his vest on Amazon. A different masked kidnapper is wearing no type of ICE uniform at all—just a green sticker ID that he says he bought for "his safety."

Why do I say it's not accurate? Because none of these teams will open their books except the Braves, who are required to because they are owned by a publicly traded company. The Braves pulled down $663M in revenue in 2024: www.bravesholdings.com/news/press-r... PLEASE STOP CAPING FOR BILLIONAIRES

“Don’t protest.” Not great when federal law enforcement leaders start directly and openly denying the existence of the literal and explicit First Amendment.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

Shaheen: What’s ironic about this is that 57% of people who identify as MAGA Republicans benefit from those tax credits. 76% of people who receive premium tax credits are in states that Trump won. I don’t understand why our colleagues have been so reluctant to address this looming problem.

The Department of Homeland Security shared a fash-wave-style video of police in Portland arresting and hitting protesters with teargas yesterday along to a remix of MGMT's "Little Dark Age." It looks like the band hit them with a copyright claim, as this is what viewers get as of this afternoon.

The Epstein Balloon?

Doug Krugman is a 24-year Marine Corps veteran who chose to resign rather than participate in Trump's and Hegseth's #ForeverWars. His voice carries the weight of someone who has personally made "life and death targeting calls" in combat zones like Iraq and Afghanistan.

Monthly DoD payroll is ~$16 billion. This supposed "gift" would cover less than 1% of that amount. If split evenly among active duty service members, each would get just under $100. Reporters who don't challenge on this are committing egregious malpractice.

Scandal? Modern as in 1940s? Who decides what era and traditions to apply? Neo means new. Neoclassical is a new version of old if you defined it literally. Which is oxymoronic. They've tried Golden and Guilded age too. Again, according to who? I said all of this to say, WTF is he talking about???

Full-on dictatorship. These are now our daily headlines.

What To Know About Data Centers https://theonion.com/what-to-know-about-data-centers/

using illegal and unconstitutional accounting gimmicks to keep paying the military so that you can deploy them to launch illegal and undeclared wars in colombia and venezuela while the rest of the government remains shut down is getting pretty close to the Very Bad scenarios

Um yeah, that's the point. Unfairly targeting.

A federal judge ORDERS senior Border Patrol officer Greg Bovino—the face of Chicago's Operation Midway Blitz — to attend in person at a hearing she just set on Tuesday. He's accused of violating her order by lobbing tear gas into a crowd. More on Bovino www.allrisenews.com/p/general-sc...

I do think we have a pretty good chance of turning gambling into a genuine popular moral crusade 19th century style, because it's becoming a social evil that's destroying young men's lives in particular but also making sports coverage really shit.

It's clear from today's AP photos that Trump has entirely demolished the East Colonnade—added to the White House by Thomas Jefferson in 1805—and restored by Theodore Roosevelt in 1902. The East Colonnade didn't occupy the footprint of the Trump "ballroom"—its demolition was completely unnecessary.

The U.S. has conducted 10 strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats, killing 43 people. Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it. He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner. This is a danger to us all.

👀👀👀

The casual bragging about how many boats and how many people the Pentagon has killed is what gets me. Celebrating your own utter disregard for human life is sociopathic. We don’t have a Department of Defense anymore, we have a cosplay convention for Call of Duty.

Biff's is real now...

Reporter: The president had initially said that this project wouldn't interfere with or touch the current structure. Leavitt: If you look at the renderings, it's very clear the east wing was going to be modernized. Reporter: But modernizing and tearing down are two different things.

Nice try, Stephen, but no.

Sigh. The Whataboutisms are back.
