Chicken alright, chicken shit liar!!!

more on this. Yes of course the idiots used AI which just made shit up.

Tesla should replace Elon with an AI. Just think of all the money they’d save. And, it sure couldn’t do any worse.

While Stephen Miller publishes the faces of the judges that struck down Trump’s unlawful tariffs, his own goons in ICE refuse to show theirs out of fear of being publicly identified. If our judges are brave enough to face MAGA threats with their faces showing, ICE should not hide behind masks.

What a fucking cunt

This is such a good example of "turn every page" journalism - nothing less fun/glam than clicking through every footnote. And it's roughly 10,000x more newsy than the thumbsucker RFK profiles reported with big travel budgets.

Just this week at the Interior Department, a 30-year veteran of the agency who told employees to ignore DOGE directives was escorted out of the building. Elsewhere, some DOGE employees have been hired on as permanent government staffers and given high-ranking positions inside agencies.

The National Association of the Deaf says the White House's failure to provide ASL interpreters during press briefings leaves some deaf and hard of hearing people without information.

Yes, I did write a 100+ page historical timeline for my research on the history of drones (which I’m still working on), and yes, I’ve decided to finally do some more public stuff with it

All of the companies who have released Pride Month 2025 collections despite Trump’s DEI crackdown

Professor Marcia Langton says she's "overwhelmed" by the result of a decade's work spent curating a monumental celebration of Aboriginal art and design.

then came the court that paused the ruling that blocked that tariff that imposed a seven-zuzim surcharge on the goat my father would have otherwise bought for two zuzim

We have published many eccentrically important pieces at Lawfare. But none ever quite like this monster from the great @annabower.bsky.social:

It remains journalistic malpractice how often mainstream media folks repeat blatantly false claims like that Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Substack, Brendan Carr, etc. are "free speech supporters." They're not. They just like platforming bigots. That's it.

Fiona Hill: "The United States is on a path toward full-on state repression."

Wall Street’s calling him a TACO now—because Trump Always Chickens Out.

I will retweet any candidate video in which the candidate says Lindsey Graham is full of shit. man's gotta have a code.

I'm a republican. That is, I believe in "res publica," things that belong to the public. Public healthcare Public education Publicly-funded science Public transportation Public housing Public broadcasting and so on

For starters, Democrats need to actually field a candidate against Mike Johnson, unlike the 2022 and 2024 campaigns when they let him run unopposed. The odds of unseating him will be long, but use the campaign to put him on defense and make our version of Pierre Poilievre sweat a little.

Do you live in any of these areas? Organizers lobbying for funding for NIH’s ME/CFS Research Roadmap are asking for calls to these Members of Congress to back up their meetings! Attaching a script in case it helps! Change the personal details ofc, and note you may be calling a Rep not a Senator!

Basing a large medical report on entirely made up studies that never happened is a bit beyond "formatting errors."

A Harvard scientist built a database of 2,100 NIH grant terminations. Then his own funding was cut Q&A with Scott Delaney: Lost grants represent ‘a life’s worth of work’ buff.ly/F0eToVO

Ok fine. Can it be, say, Nov 1 2024?

Someone today described this moment as a horrific traffic accident, w/ everyone standing back, watching, not knowing what to do, and waiting for someone else to rush in and start helping. But we can't all keep standing back. Time is ticking. We need to act, to try, to keep trying.

If "mental anguish" from watching the news is an actionable tort WE'RE ALL GOING TO BE RICH, BOYS!

Writing stories that insist that there is order in the chaotic mind and actions of powerful white men is an actual beat at our most influential media institutions.

taco, soft tortilla

President Trump is a virile manly man who bestrides the world like a colossus but he’s also just a poor little guy who gets his feelings hurt when the teevee says mean things

It's beyond parody that we're now calling apparent malignant narcissistic sociopathy a philosophy

Yuji Agematsu @ the Judd Foundation: I’ve taught his work — daily collections of found objects packed into 🚬 wrappers — in my collections class; it inspires new modes of observation and valuation. I love that the little packets are also an index of time, a calendar of reclaimed detritus :)

Oh I bet they are re-thinking their votes now

"The strategy here is to break the law in the open, over and over, until the law itself appears broken, ineffectual, and incapable of delivering consequences." [email protected] contrarian.substack.com/p/welcome-to...

No shit. Why isn't mainstream media reporting this on a daily, hourly basis? They have a plethora of video clips to do the work for them.

Disinformation dressed up to look like science. Expect to see more of this. Using some of the tool and approach of science and academic writing to promote disinformation.

huh. almost like widespread automated police surveillance of motorists might have some civil liberties implications after all

Huh

I, personally, do not want the razor blade throat variant (or any variant). As always, I will continue to mask around anyone that isn’t in my household as do they. Stay safe, friends.

This is what we mean when there will no longer be any fair elections under the Trump Administration and DOJ. Impossible. This will not be turned around by elections. WORST CASE SCENARIO IS TRUMP WILL DECLARE MARTIAL LAW AND SUSPEND ELECTIONS.

Excellent. More of this please. And if you can't go to a townhall or your rep won't hold one, give them a call and write them an email to ask questions like this.

If the 70s taught me anything, it was that trades people could, in fact, be gay.

There's not much time left. When it's gone, it's gonna be worse than this.

"... a deliberate destruction of education, science, and history, conducted with a fanaticism that recalls the Dark Ages that followed Rome’s fall." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Long Covid and ME/CFS folks— Developing relationships with the health staffers for your Members of Congress is well worth your time, and this is a great opportunity to be introduced to them. The meetings this year will all be remote, and Solve will train you!

About 500 students staged a walkout today after federal immigration agents detained a 20-year-old Venezuelan migrant who had been attending a Bronx high school. ICE arrested an Ellis Prep Academy student identified only as Dylan on May 21 when he showed up for a mandatory immigration court hearing.
