Incredibly stupid decision.

Easy money

What a crock!

That’s unfortunate

NEW: At Pope Leo’s Urging, Bishops Issue Historic Rebuke of Trump’s Raids Nearly all U.S. Catholic bishops united in Baltimore to denounce the Trump administration’s “inhumane” deportation campaign — a near-unanimous, unprecedented moral stand against a sitting president.

BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.

🔥 @RepJoeNeguse: “Most of 🇺🇸 will find this REPUGNANT. These senators are guaranteeing themselves million-dollar paydays.”

Bipartisan horror at @SenatorHagerty & @MarshaBlackburn’s greedy money grab snuck inside the funding bill— rewarding themselves for getting investigated.

In a business that’s supposed to be about thinking about other people, you get in trouble for thinking about other people. Make it make sense.

Clearance level and “need to know” are criteria used for Intel related communications. This latest signal gate fiasco happened within what should be a couple of days of Hegseth’s resignation. #adioshegseth

They can just wait around three or four years for the factories to be built. This cabinet is built with scrap board and bullshit.

Time for Hegseth to be out in the “circular file.”

Is it too late to sign up for the group impeachment plan?

Seriously awful and very well reported. If you’re a woman with the option to go through pregnancy (or even childbearing years) inside or outside of TX, you may want to consider this—your chances of dying really go up significantly there until this law is changed.

If you support this, you’re an awful human being

Important 🧵: Stanford political scientist uses data to show DOGE is attacking “liberal” agencies, not focusing on waste & inefficiency: “The hardest hit agencies are those that regulate industry, protect public health, and expand access to education.”

That’s likely the point. Trump wants to destroy us.

Given the obvious incompetency and the inability of many Trump‘s appointees to provide thoughtful, coherent, or honest answers to many questions, & the data disruptions happening across the federal government, I’m more than a little bit concerned about risks from external forces, not just internal.

I think the AI winner should the app that comes up with the best response to the following question: What is the quickest, legal way to get Trump’s policies reversed?

If you can find any in the store. And, the ones that remain on the shelves tend to cost eight to $10 a dozen, possible due to bird flu-concerns. (My gig is grocery shopping.)

Fat chance. I’m sure he’s already had several drinks tonight.

10 to 1, Hegseth is tossing down a few (alcoholic) beverages tonight.
