"Why Trump’s Ego is More Dangerous than Iran’s Nuclear Threat" www.thedailybeast.com//why-trumps-...

And what is the land mass of Iran in hectares?

Block and move on.

From Yahoo News: “Trump vetoed a plan to kill Iran's leader” 🤣 Bibi honey badger don’t care. (This is not an endorsement, just an observation.)

Listened to @npr.org last night about 11:30p PDT. Reported that there were maga hats but mostly US flags at Trump’s parade. Then reported some later clashes in LA. No mention of 2,000 No Kings rallies across the country. Nice try but sucking up doesn’t work—and you’ll not be missed.

I wonder if anyone in the Trump regime sees the irony of parading heavy armament and uniformed combat troops in a moment when warfare is about penetration of enemy information systems, strategic assassinations, and asymmetric assaults.

Turned on CNN three times yesterday while running errands. First time was in the middle of a segment about Biden's age. Second time they were airing a promo for Tappers book, which is about Biden's age. Third time was during a panel discussion -- about Biden's age. Meanwhile . . .

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social if you believe no one is talking about Trump‘s crypto scheme you should probably be listening to @profgalloway.com who has been shouting it from the rooftops for months.

@mollyjongfast.bsky.social The interview with Katherine Clark was a disaster. You tried to draw her out on younger talent in Congress but she was a study in democrat leadership calcification. The lowest point was when she said “we” elected Maxwell Frost and Jasmine Crockett. No, their districts did.

Biden, 52%: “low end approval” Trump, 39%: proceeding “as expected”

"The proposal that Trump, Vice President J. D. Vance, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are pushing is not a framework for peace, but a rich and bloody reward to Moscow for three years of aggression and war crimes."

Ya think Kevin Hassett thinks he’s going to be the next Fed chair?

Trump couldn't end the Ukraine War or lower prices on Day One, but he could end the Biden manufacturing boom cepr.net/publications...

A whistleblower says Elon Musk’s DOGE minions may have looted data at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB)—including sensitive info about unions, workplace complaint cases, & corporate secrets. Right after DOGE gained access to NLRB, a Russia-based I.P. address tried to log in.

UP FIRST: A whistleblower who works at NLRB says that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data. And, the Trump administration froze over $2 billion for Harvard after it rejected demands.

DOGE surveilling (with a drone?!) and threatening a whistleblower. These people are straight up gangsters.

We had the reporter on tonight; @maddow has the whistleblower

According to Lutnick, Americans will be screwing in the little screws on iPhones. According to Navarro, Americans will be servicing the robots that screw in the little screws on iPhones. Query: does either know what the fuck they’re talking about?

Can you imagine legislators being so terrified for their own jobs that they’d keep quiet while 63,000 federal workers lose theirs?

@meidastouch.com the truth is bad enough and I really appreciate the coverage. But your histrionic headlines on YouTube are just pushing me away.

Please don’t forget that although it was Hegseth who divulged classified information there were other cabinet level and adjacent appointees on that call none of whom objected in the moment.

Karoline Leavitt: “nothing happened, but we’re looking into it to make sure it never happens again.“

"Pentagon Warned Staff About Signal’s ‘Vulnerability’ a Week Before Airstrike Leak" Wanna bet how many of their phones are running Pegasus?

This was not Kemal Atatürk’s vision for a great nation. Erdoğa said in a speech this week, “the old Turkey is gone.” 😢😡

@kristenwelker.bsky.social @nbcnews.com Welker is an embarrassment. Social Security is NOT an “entitlement.” I’ll watch Meet The Press again when you get a competent host (or a journalist).

Trump and Vance are part of the tiny percentage of Americans who sympathize more with Russia (4%) than Ukraine (62%) and who view Putin more favorably (75% unfavorable) than Zelensky (28% unfavorable) today.yougov.com/politics/art...

A comprehensive article on Trump‘s distraction campaign against DEI including the corporate and Civic responses by name.

Catnip for Tesla fanboys. youtu.be/A5nlrVAKO8I?...

Q: how to 6x DOGE savings ($2.5b)? A: Cut subsidies to Tesla ($15b)

You piece of shit! See? This is why I'll never let up! You'll never be able to have this narrative as truth as long as I'm around. Those terrorist attacked us because of you Donald.

Because this is getting downplayed in some of the coverage, the racist staffer DOGE rehired isn’t a case of “stupid things he wrote years ago as a teen.” He posted about how we should “normalize Indian hate” IN SEPTEMBER.

Betcha Trump dumps Susie Wiles and names Musk Chief of Staff. Remember, you heard it here first.
