Some companies “sought to appeal directly to Trump’s affinity for branding, such as an idea to rebrand the mobile shuttles as ‘Direct Jet Transports,’nor DJTs — the president’s initials.” 🤡 @washingtonpost.com #IAD www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I still think the Supreme Court's unexplained shadow docket order allowing the Trump administration to implement this barbaric policy is the worst SCOTUS decision of Trump's second term so far. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Rep. Jimmy Patronis went on TV today wearing a "TRUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING" hat Not a cult, though. No siree.

Rep. Jimmy Patronis says he was too "starstruck" by being in Trump's presence last night to watch the Democratic SOTU response

Can’t stop thinking about this

Of course he went there, that was exactly where the POTUS was leading him and all of his followers to go!! But don't call it a cult🤬

GOP Rep Scott Bottoms claims 20 anti human trafficking organizations wouldn’t help him expose alleged pedophile rings at the Colorado Capitol. Bottoms says they demanded up to $250k. A dozen prominent HT orgs tell me Bottoms never contacted them.

In the Senate Democratic primary, James Talarico has made his church’s ethos of compassion central to his campaign, while Jasmine Crockett is tapping into the civic power of Black churches.

Christian nationalist Sean Feucht says the Democrats' response during the SOTU was a "demonic manifestation happening before your eyes": "We have literal crazy demonic people that are elected in our nation that want to see it totally destroyed."

“National security” is such an ill-defined word. They use it to mean anything.

German firms are running out of chip supply as the AI memory demand spike creates scarcity. German firms have few stockpiles and resupply wait time surges to 1y. Why are German firms always the first to run into supply chain crunches? hbapp.handelsblatt.com/cmsid/100201...

Part of the problem here is a long-standing issue of mine: The public gets a huge benefit from beat journalism—but the journalism industry does not, by and large, recognize beat journalism for its value or when it comes to awards and prizes. Those go to investigations and "one big thing" features.

Maybe it was because you encompassed so many of my feelings when I watched it

Not sure well said, but just what I felt watching her. This planet is one of pain and suffering for all and I do hope one day it will somehow shift to more empathy and compassion.

So well said!

This video broke me. It felt like she was aiming the slurs at herself as well. So difficult existing as a human on this planet. ❤️‍🩹

Seems bad that Pete Hegseth is threatening to destroy an AI company if it refuses to renegotiate its Pentagon contract to allow for mass surveillance of Americans and killbots. www.astralcodexten.com/p/the-pentag...

Ikr!! AND imagine having to endure the hate from other people who don't understand that you hate it too but can't control it. It's heartbreaking on all levels!

Just dang, that seems like a very hard disability to overcome..

Most importantly, it highlights X’s role in allowing Grok to create nonconsensual sexual material in a criminal case that involves extreme cyberstalking and real life harm. @evystadium.bsky.social has more. Full story by @jasonkoebler.bsky.social: www.404media.co/fbi-subpoena...

“… the visit went sideways Tuesday night, as the Department of Homeland Security posted messages on social media platform X, targeting Gomes da Silva … Moulton's staff confirmed that they escorted Gomes da Silva out of the chamber, to the congressman's office, ‘due to concerns for his safety …’”

“Gomes da Silva told WBUR last week he was hoping to send a message to Trump, ‘to open his eyes and give him an insight on how it feels to be an immigrant — show him a way to  be more sympathetic towards us.’”

Trump: "When you watch Low IQ Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, as they screamed uncontrollably last night, they had the bulging, bloodshot eyes of crazy people, LUNATICS, mentally deranged and sick who, frankly, look like they should be institutionalized...we should send them back from where they came"

🇵🇱🇺🇸 Sikorski on Musk: We expect Elon Musk not to give the same service to the enemy. I’m glad when I pointed out the problem to him action was taken and the illegal Russian Starlinks were switched off. Should have been done two years ago. This has sowed some confusion in Russian ranks. Good.
