Sorry to hear about the huge layoffs today. It’s becoming a trend in the industry. I’m confident that your skills will be in demand elsewhere. Good luck!

Inside the White House in the chaotic hours after Alex Pretti's shooting NBC News spoke to 15 people about how the Trump administration scrambled to respond to a second fatal shooting in Minneapolis.

‘But as he absorbed clips of the fatal confrontation, and the news reports surrounding it, Trump grew increasingly disturbed by what he saw…

“He doesn’t like chaos on his watch,” the official said.’

LOL, WTF.

State Department to deny visas to fact checkers and others, citing 'censorship' The order is focused on applicants for H-1B visas, which are frequently used by tech companies and is part of a campaign by the Trump administration against online content moderation.

Fact-checkers are dangerous.

“The State Department is instructing its staff to reject visa applications from people who worked on fact-checking…”

My last living musical hero is still my hero but unfortunately no longer living. RIP to the great, great Mr. Tom Lehrer.

Even the (never credited) original PR piece from Ford never makes the outlandish InsideEVs article claim that “the battery still has 96% of its original capacity”.

Somehow the InsideEVs rewrite (which never acknowledges or links to the source) is even fluffier than the original Ford PR piece. IEVs claim that “the battery still has 96% of its original capacity” is total BS.

The official Homeland Security X account posts a painting depicting some recent European immigrants invading Native American lands and inflicting cultural domination rather than assimilating peacefully and with permission from tribes.

LOL.

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.

America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.

Watch and share his message.

An Offhand Remark About Gold Bars, Secretly Recorded, Upended His Life

Politics in the Trump era: They lied to him, set him up on a fake date, secretly videotaped him without his permission and then distorted his words to create a false conspiracy theory to justify policy changes. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/01/c...

There's really nothing in this opinion limiting some neo-Bob Jones University types from demanding public schools stop talking about interracial marriage on religious grounds.

Critical hurricane forecast tool abruptly terminated On Monday, the U.S. Department of Defense announced it would immediately stop ingesting, processing, and transmitting data essential to most hurricane forecasts.

Just another day in Trump World. The hurricane states are almost entirely MAGA. Trump wants to end FEMA support and funding as well.

It will interesting to watch the ensuing cognitive dissonance which seems more stark than usual.

Most of this “press conference” is this lunatic yelling at the media. This guy is so obsessed with his press coverage that he can’t even function.

A White Nationalist Wrote a Law School Paper Promoting Racist Views. It Won Him an Award.

An excellent reality check to concerns about the future of Social Security.

Elon Musk posts on X that: “We will use Grok 3.5 (maybe we should call it 4), which has advanced reasoning, to rewrite the entire corpus of human knowledge, adding missing information and deleting errors. Then retrain on that. Far too much garbage in any foundation model trained on uncorrected data.”

Call it Crock 4.20. It’s already feature complete and will be ready by the end of the year.

New “Dictator Approved” statue appears in DC

WaPo: It sits at the same location as the poop statue did last fall.
The artwork's creators intended "Dictator Approved" as a response to the June 14 military parade and authoritarianism, according to a permit issued by the National Park Service.

The fact that they have to put Trump in his kiddie fake high school uniform to look anything like patriotism when he dodged the draft is just…. Epic

The FCC Must Reject Efforts to Lock Up Public Airwaves President Trump’s attack on public broadcasting has attracted plenty of deserved attention, but there’s a far more technical, far more insidious policy change in the offing—one that will take away Ame...

The Trump FCC is, by definition, up to no good.

Trump is rolling back civil rights efforts across the government so it only makes sense to strip the names of civil rights leaders from our existing Navy ships. Gotta be consistent and make a 100% effort for white nationalism. That’s what a slight plurality of the voters wanted!

On the Campaign Trail, Elon Musk Juggled Drugs and Family Drama

A junkie unmoored from reality destroyed our govt:
