Trump on his way to Quantico: “I'm going to be meeting with generals and with admirals and with leaders, and if I don't like somebody, I'm going to fire them right on the spot." Getting closer to the return of fragging with every minute.

Trump: "The boats are coming from Venezuela. Every boat kills about 25,000 people. We've taken out 4, and it's on air, everybody gets to see. But now there are no boats out there, they don't even want to go fishing. There will be no fishing today."

The lawsuit accused Amazon of deceiving users into signing up for its Prime service and making it difficult to cancel it.

Yeah, I thought this quote from Bannon was key as well. MAGA sees the executive order on "Antifa" as a useful tool to go after protected speech and dissent. Bannon doesn't even hide it here:

Amazon agreed to a $2.5 billion settlement with the FTC, resolving allegations that it deceived users into signing up for Prime service and purposefully made it difficult to cancel.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro: “Drug traffickers live in Miami, New York, Paris, Madrid, and Dubai. Many have blue eyes and blond hair, and they don't live on the boats where the missiles fall. “Drug traffickers live next to Trump's house in Miami.”

It is wild to me that we had an entire national freak out about a Presidential candidate's mental acuity, and it *wasn't* about Trump—totally unserious country.

The White House is probably the world’s biggest purveyor of medical disinformation, which is so dangerous and so depressing.

The AP being spot on. The only way to report on these sociopaths.

The real emergency is that Trump is destroying economic growth with tariffs at about the same rate that he’s chasing foreign-born workers out of the country. The reason unemployment isn’t getting bigger is that the economy is getting smaller. trib.al/k3dMYSy

Laura Loomer, a Trump loyalist, posted to X: “Prepare to have your whole future professional aspirations ruined if you are sick enough to celebrate his death. I’m going to make you wish you never opened your mouth.”

Seriously, get ready to fight fascists on the streets or pack your bags and leave now. Meekness won’t save Latinos in the USA.

🚨The Supreme Court today gives Trump a license to engage in racial profiling, with Justice Kavanaugh writing in concurrence to expressly endorse ICE and Border Patrol targeting any Latinos they observe in Los Angeles speaking Spanish and then demanding their papers.

Justice Sotomayor, not mincing words, also says that today's decision will lead to the "creation of [] a second-class citizenship status" for Latinos, who now will have the burden to "carry enough documentation to prove that they deserve to walk freely."

Ironically, it appears that AI chatbots hallucinate for the same reason that students feel compelled to use them: They were socialized in a high-stakes testing culture that rewards guessing and maybe getting it right over admitting when there's something you just don't know.
