This is chilling.

I want to make a joke about him being Otis to Musk’s Lex Luthor, but there’s nothing funny about the power and wealth this madman have and will continue to accrue.

Schiff: What more will happen? You know, really, the sky’s the limit. We have to anticipate they could create some provocation at a polling place to create a pretext to call on the military or to seize ballot boxes. And we’re going to be prepared for whatever they throw our way…

Unlike the US media, international media are saying it like it is. The US is a global pariah:

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

FIFA faces new crisis as SoFi Stadium workers in LA threaten strike action The union UNITE HERE Local 11 has made a series of demands to FIFA and voiced major concerns about ICE agents around World Cup venues

Thousands of workers are threatening to strike at the Los Angeles World Cup stadium.

The SoFi Stadium plans to host two of the three US Men's World Cup matches, but now 2,000 cooks, servers, bartenders and more may strike.

Their main issue? ICE being present at the World Cup.

1) What is the justification for waiving sanctions on these individuals? Were there any limitations or conditions attached to those waivers? 2) Please explain why sanctions were also waived to facilitate the delegation’s aircraft landing at a U.S. airport. What security precautions were conducted at the airport? 3) Please provide a full list of all individuals that traveled from the Russian Federation, including a flight manifest. 4) Was a counterintelligence assessment conducted for all individuals traveling to the U.S.? If so, please provide a classified summary of each such assessment. 5) What meetings did the delegation have with administration officials?

Jeanne Shaheen can be a PITA, but (unlike Fetterman) she at least understands policy. She and Roger Wicker wrote a letter to Bessent and Rubio asking why the fuck they let sanctioned Russians into DC last Friday.

They do cite RU targeting help to Iran.

Wait. You can just say "we might infringe on your rights" in your Terms Of Service?

Two-year-old Kaleth is being locked away at the Dilley trailer prison. He is getting sicker with each passing day. He will not eat the food CoreCivc serves, which detainees have said sometimes has mold and worms. He now has a fever.

NEW: Democrat Emily Gregory wins a special election for Florida State House District 87, home to Mar-a-Lago, and a district that Trump won by 11 points in 2024, AND beating a Trump endorsed candidate. See you in November! 🩵💙

Project 2025 is in full swing.

RFK Jr. fired all of the legitimate scientific experts on the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and replaced them with unqualified political appointees.

A judge just ruled that the new members were not appropriately appointed, so ACIP cannot meet this week to spread more misinformation.

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.

A truly extraordinary moment.

We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

Act like it.

Murphy: I have great sympathy for our soldiers and our military leaders they are being given directions by a senile old man who is losing his mind. And so it's no surprise that this war is going horribly

2/2 It comes from the bawling and fearful infancy of our species, and is a babyish attempt to meet our inescapable demand for knowledge. Today the least educated of my children knows much more about the natural order than any of the founders of religion.

The full quote from the late and much missed Mr. Hitchens:

Religion comes from the period of human prehistory where nobody - not even the mighty Democritus who concluded that all matter was made
from atoms - had the smallest idea of what was going on.

BLUMENTHAL: Is the agent who shot Ms Martinez sill on the job?

NOEM: Our officers conduct operations every day-

B: Is he still on the job carrying a gun?

N: I dunno

B: Would you agree he shouldn't be?

N: I'll get back to you

B: I think Americans would find it absolutely terrifying if he is

wow -- Tillis goes ballistic on Noem, telling her "what we've seen is a disaster under your leadership"

Perfect 🤣🙌🏻🔥

Sam Altman tweet: Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network. In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome. AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement. We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only. We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements. We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.

My goodness.

Tonight let’s boycott Felon Trump’s lies & instead watch the

A win! A federal judge has instructed the Interior Department to restore signage and video exhibits at George Washington’s former Philadelphia residence that explain his ownership of enslaved people.

Trump Administration Erases the Government’s Power to Fight Climate Change

Trump is selling out our kids’ future so his fossil fuel billionaire friends can get even richer.

The science is clear. Climate change is an existential threat to the planet.

We must transform our energy system away from fossil fuels and into sustainable energies.

Maryland health officials warn providers about an upsurge in mumps cases Maryland health officials are warning about an uptick in cases of mumps.

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading.

Now we’ve got mumps rolling up.

Expect more.

This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.

They talk and act exactly like Nazis in pursuit of the exact same objectives as Nazis using the exact same tactics and rationales as Nazis but it would be wrong to call them Nazis until they grow the little mustache.

State sanctioned death warrant. Good thing that “elections don’t matter” — assuming we ever have legit elections again.

What is happening at the Department of Justice under Attorney General Bondi is a disgrace.

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

Crypto Takes a Deep Slide Despite Trump’s Support

Everything he touches eventually dies.

It’s the opposite of the Midas touch…
