Maybe it's just me but I don't think Jeffrey Epstein's clients should be the ones to decide if Jeffrey Epstein's clients should be prosecuted.

"Race hate isn't human nature; race hate is the abandonment of human nature."

Orson Welles, 1946.

Isn’t that the truth.

Looking forward to stopping by @colbertlateshow.bsky.social one last time. Tune in tonight!

Morning friends. There are still those amongst us that need to wake up.

LUTNICK: It is outrageous that Canada will not put US spirits on the shelf. It is insulting and disrespectful to America


SHAHEEN: They won't do it because of the insults from this president and comments like yours

PabloReports: What do you make of Stephen Miller and Tom Homan asking for all this money but then refusing to show up to the hearing today?

Frost: That’s what happens when you have a lapdog as speaker.

Awesome 💥

Is that bad? Seems bad

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

Trump’s Memphis Crime Task Force Arrested Over 800 Immigrants, Records Show. Only 2% of the Arrests Were for Violent Crimes. Businesses closed. Churches emptied. Parents afraid to take kids to school. Advocates say what was supposed to be a crime-fighting effort is keeping a community in fear.

Hungary's New PM Just Showed Us What Courage Looks Like. Where's Ours? Hypothetically, if I was elected President, here are the opening salvos of restoration

Hungary just elected a new PM who wasted zero time — he shut down state propaganda, called out the corrupt officials by name, and started the reckoning on day one. It made me want to write down exactly what that should look like here. So I did.

WARREN: I want to understand how slashing healthcare for families so Meta gets a $3b tax cut is a 'really good outcome for the American public'

IRS CEO BISIGNANO: I don't see the two as correlated

W: Those tax cuts were paid for by pushing people off their healthcare. Did you not follow that?

KERNEN: We'd never be able to send anyone back if you needed a judicial warrant every single time

RAND PAUL: Well, I don't think that's true. Obeying the 4th Amendment of the Constitution shouldn't be too difficult. It's something we fought the revolution over.

What a shot!!!

Senior NHS officials warned staff over criticising rollout of Palantir platform Ethical objections and uneven adoption have made the tech group’s contract a divisive issue within English health service

“If you criticise Palantir’s platform one more time, you are going to lose your job.”

Solidarity to all NHS workers opposing this toxic corporation. Shame on those bullying them. But they won’t stop us. We’re going to ditch Palantir.

Virginia Governor Ends Tax Breaks for Confederate Groups

Disgusting.

This is why mass pardoning people for politics is never a good idea.

Not feeling good about giving my hard earned money to the oligarchs, to fund illegal & unnecessary "wars,"or fund any of this admin's crooked schemes.
Not at all 'good.'

NEWS: Huge first win for Mayor Mamdani’s tax-the-rich plans in NYC.

Mamdani just secured a deal with Gov. Hochul to create the state’s first-ever tax on $5 million+ second homes owned by ultrawealthy out-of-state residents.

Can't Cross the Same Gulf Twice Whenever the US decides it has won, in 2 days, 2 weeks, or two decades, like Ulysses, the world will have changed significantly from the one they left.

I'm starting to get what it's like to work in one of Trump's many failed businesses. His strategic and tactical decisions are emotional, and that allows his rivals to trigger him for their own ends. Lovely. #PersianGulf #natsecsky #NATO #China #USD
