"Thank you for your attention to this matter" isn't just a robotic postscript; it implies that everyone is waiting for his every declaration with bated breath (he no doubt believes this is true) and will work tirelessly to transform his pronouncements into policy. That's what he thinks is happening
How the fuck is the president and Secretary of State at a UFC fight in Miami while war negotiations affecting the world economy are falling apart.
And I know that MFer isn’t going to try to play golf tomorrow too.
Barack Obama sent seasoned diplomats and nuclear scientists to negotiate the Iran Deal. Donald Trump sent a few real estate bros and JD Vance. Failure was a foregone conclusion.
Trump is rapidly morphing into his own caricature of Joe Biden.
Mockler: One day we've won, the next day there's negotiations, the next day we've won again. But there's the actual on the ground reality that we are mobilizing thousands of troops to the Middle East. We are asking for $200 billion for this war. And I don't know what are we getting for this.
While ICE is in airports, I will not fly. I will not be harassed. Since I won't fly, I can't spend money in other parts of the travel industry.
If I boycott them, who cares?
If a million or 10 or 100 million boycott the travel industry... maybe someone will pay attention.

@lizbethmyles.bsky.social , is your new book "Where We Stand, Where We Fall," about the politics in Dr Who* available in the US? Do you have a link for us to buy it?

I guess this has probably already gone viral somewhere but I am simply dying at this picture of a bear that looks like it hired a photographer to do a glamour shoot
Anytime anyone says “tow the line”
A MN protester accused of assaulting ICE officer had case dropped after vids showed no assault.
LA protester accused of assaulting ICE w/ “hat” had case dropped; judge said govt acted in “bad faith”
In Chicago, 92 ppl were arrested for assault/impeding ICE; 0 convicted
DOJ keeps lying and losing:
By the time he’s done, I’ll bet that at least a quarter of the national debt will just be money he stole.
I did not expect to see #4.
Hey, you try dragging Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes and see if you get prickly.
(Don't ban me, it's a joke!)
There are all sorts of parallels for what the Trump regime is doing to American cities but you could do a lot worse than looking at Ireland under British rule and Northern Ireland during the Troubles for a better understanding - a populace viewed as fundamentally hostile, little restraint, etc.
Plus, one can expect that Tatooine is a pretty skin- and hair-drying location...
Amy Klobuchar: "There are now more ICE agents in Minnesota than there are police officers combined in Minneapolis and St. Paul. So they are outnumbering our own local police officers out on the streets."
Found my sign for the protest against ICE tomorrow.

When the GOP get unchecked power, they don’t govern, they run experiments. Kansas was a warning. Texas is next. In Nov 2025, 17 GOP amendments rewired the Constitution to lock in giveaways, hollow out public goods, & explode deficits. We already know how this ends.

Trump has no idea what’s going on. He’s turned the WH into a gilded Assisted Living Facility with court jesters and a ballroom.

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.
“If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???”
Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.
"To Trump, Reagan’s composed performance, with its affirmation of consensus, is almost intolerable. It must be discredited not because it is inaccurate but because it represents an entirely different model of what presidential authority looks like." -Jake Lundberg

Why is Pete Hegseth so obsessed with keeping everything he is doing hidden from the American public except for his workout and cosplay videos?
this is the Pope
his entire thing is going around waving to crowds and looking happy
he is also such a White Sox fan that this is the maddest - and most human - I have ever a pope look
I don’t really think the framers intended for a president to have the power to slap a tariff on products from a particular country because he didn’t like a TV commercial they ran about him, but I suppose it is presently up to the Supreme Ct to decide how far the Mad King can go.
This is very good

One giant wreck after another with this admin, you'd almost think they're doing it for the insurance... But they don't have insurance.
