That Galleria one is so true.

Bellingcat CEO @eliothiggins.bsky.social:

And suddenly, no one's talking about the Epstein files any more.

This is important meta analysis. We’re experiencing a national news story with Constitutional crisis implications, but most of LA wouldn’t know it without press. The population of Los Angeles County is larger than 42 states. This place is ginormous.

Why does it feel like the build-up to "V for Vendetta" is happening live?

Today is the anniversary of Alan Turing’s death in 1954. Read his story at: https://open.substack.com/pub/sonsoflibertyofficial/p/alan-turing?r=56jgsu&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

Today’s post taught me that conservatives really can’t handle “open markets” in intellectual realms - they have to stop the academics because their ideas fail when subjected to scrutiny. Vance admitted it himself.

Notice how it’s always, “our laws must be inspired by the Bible!” until it comes to the +2,000 passages in the Bible that discuss the generous use of wealth and possessions in a way that prioritizes the needs of the poor, this sick, the stranger, the vulnerable, and the oppressed.

Warnock: You literally have, in real time, the leader of another nation-state—in this case, South Africa—there to talk to him about trade, and he’s saying, “Sorry, Mr. President, we don’t have a plane to offer you.” And you see why we have an Emoluments Clause in the first place.

Dear press: Why do questions of mental acuity activate only with the prior but not the current administration? Asking for a nation.

Donald Trump is using your tax dollars to throw himself a $45 million birthday party. A dictator-style military parade – all while slashing 80,000 jobs at the VA. youtu.be/_sG3l27AtoI?...

MAKE NOISE ON THIS ONE‼️ They didn’t just deport him—they sent him to CECOT in El Salvador. Agelviz came here legally through the refugee resettlement program—fully vetted. But when he landed in Houston, CBP snatched him over a tattoo: a clock and a rose. No charges. No record. Just a suspicion.

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 . . .

open.substack.com/pub/wonkette... Oh look, the Incels have found a new way to pick up women...forcibly through religious doctrine...welcome to the American Taliban. It's the new Patriarchy, but this one where the men are broke, and the women have to work and be subservient slaves too. #MAGAIdiots

suddenly worried I may be about to reshape the ocean's political future

When he typed this, S&P had just downgraded the US bc of GOP govt shutdowns. Yesterday, Moody’s downgraded the US bc of GOP govt policies.

Kamala: we’re going to stop grocery stores from price gouging MAGA: COMMUNISM!!! Trump: Walmart better not raise prices because of the stupid thing I did MAGA: MAGA!!

Hamilton is spinning in his grave.

Baby Platypuses to cleanse the timeline

Afrikaner refugee settles in Birmingham, says he already feels much safer. Birmingham’s murder rate is almost twice South Africa’s.

This. 1000x this.

The House Budget Committee just said NO to Trump's budget bill—a reckless “plan” that would gut Medicaid, slash SNAP, and hurt millions of Americans. 🧵 (1/3)

Republicans just blocked their own "big, beautiful bill" that would kick millions of Americans off their health care...because it doesn't cut Medicaid enough.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social In order to have free & fair elections the power & reach of Mainstream Media must have reporters dedicated to stories on voter suppression, the infrequency of voter fraud & what safeguards are being stripped away by Red state AG’s and state reps. The media must step up.

Come. On.

Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified"

That is in fact what this administration has done.

I will never forget that the week Qatar decided to bribe the president of the United States with a plane, CNN decided to focus on the age and health of an ex-president. Shame.

So Trump gets a $400 million plane to take with him when he leaves office and Qatar walks away with $1.2 trillion in deals. A win-win for them, just not for the American public.

One of Trump’s imported voters from South Africa was caught spreading antisemitic hate online. In a now-deleted April 2023 post, X user @charlkleinhaus wrote that Jews were “untrustworthy,” “a dangerous group,” and “not God’s chosen.”

There's always a tweet.

Back-to-back headlines on Washpost homepage tonight

Republican Tommy Tuberville has blocked a Democratic resolution that would have condemned the proposed gift of a luxury jet from Qatar to Trump.

BREAKING: Federal grand jury indicts Wisconsin judge Hannah Dugan in immigration case, allowing charges against her to continue.

This is so vague that it could ban the regulation of any kind of algorithm whatsoever; “automated decision system” is an extremely broad term!
