if you're wondering how Trump has 45 minutes to shoot the shit with Joe Kernen he's in the beginning stages of a 5 and a half hour block of executive time today so

Democrats getting more backlash for attempting redistricting in Virginia in response to completely unprecedented GOP powergrabs than Republicans have gotten for gerrymandering for decades is extremely grim shit ngl.

KERNEN: Is there some type of currency swap possible with UAE to help if they need it? And do you think there'd be backlash?

TRUMP: It is. It's been a good country, a good ally of ours. It was shocking because we didn't think they'd get hit. I'm surprised, because they are really rich.

There’s something mentally wrong with the President of the United States.

Trump administration begins refunding more than $166bn in tariffs Claims system launches months after supreme court ruled Trump had no legal authority to impose tariffs

So you and I and everyone else are in effect now refunding American corporations for import tariffs, although we paid for most of them in the form of higher prices — which they won’t now lower because they have monopoly power to keep prices high.

The Art of the Deal.

“The MAGA crowd is made of dumb people — like, SUPER dumb people. And they fall for it.”

For my @wired.com feature debut, I talked to Sam, a guy who made thousands of dollars on Instagram by scamming MAGA men with Emily Hart, an AI generated, Trump-loving influencer. www.wired.com/story/ai-gen...

lol this fucker knew exactly what he was doing, just like when he pushed the iraq war on behalf of the last gop president. these guys are scam artists and you shouldnt buy a thing they ever say.

Maybe we don’t call it a ‘singer’ if it doesn’t have vocal cords.Making a synthesizer reproduce violin sounds does not make it a violin.

It's so obvious and annoying

My undergrad senior group paper was on the bombings and the coverup. I'm at 95%.

We Forget About ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ at Our Peril The abuses are piling up, and Democrats and activists are desperate to get the word out.

"Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz told me she saw 1,500 detainees housed in cages at the site, a cage area that smelled like urine, and one cage configuration where detainees appear to have no option but to go to the bathroom in front of everyone."

Hell yes

An opinion with a ruling would be nice. I get that they may have Nats tickets, but Supreme Courting is their job.

The actual fuck?

Plenty of criticism on the right of the #SCOTUS leaker and the Times’s reporting, but has anyone actually responded to the argument that Roberts’s assessment of “irreparable harm” and his refusal to balance the equities is completely inconsistent with his subsequent behavior in all the Trump cases?

One of the Sandy Hook families lives in hiding 1500 mi away from their baby’s grave due to people stalking them.

The graves of multiple children have been defaced.

One of the fathers had to submit DNA evidence to prove his son was a REAL HUMAN BEING after Alex Jones’ book said he never existed.

In that case, if Trump continues with his war, he will be violating the War Power Resolution—in addition to usurping Congress's authority under the U.S. Constitution.

"I’m winning a War, BY A LOT..."

If you have to keep trying to convince sycophantic followers on your own social media platform, then you probably aren't.

Very helpful. Non-violent sabotage...

Easy solution: Ban these gluttonous resource hogs.

here’s a perfectly normal thing that happened with our perfectly normal president. recently, Donny was acting so erratically while military leaders were planning a rescue operation in Iran, that big strong aides with tears in their eyes had to go up to him and say, ‘sir! sir! why don’t you go play in traffic?’

last week, Donny was so out of control that his handlers had to hustle him out of the room for fear that he would fuck up a military rescue operation, because he wouldn't stop screaming at everyone. perfectly normal stuff, and I mock the shit out of it in my latest post. link is here: bit.ly/4cSLXYK

Civilians have had apparent seizures. One had his eyes roll back. Another had ribs broken.

“I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” said a 16-year-old citizen put in a chokehold.

The government won’t say if any agents have been punished.

All of this is worrisome. And now Palantir is so integrated into gov it'll be hard to get them out.

"The way in which Palantir grew caused unease within its own ranks. A year ago, some former Palantir employees wrote an open letter about the violation of the company’s prior ethical guardrails."

This is an extremely obvious and banal point that I have been surprised to find is hard to land with people both-sidesing the AI debate. The highest VC funded companies in tech saying “we want to ruin your lives” as marketing copy > any flavor of online poster anti-Ai hyperbole you can find.
