I think Stephen Miller is running the show. I think the "Truth" post this morning was his. I think the direction to go after Dem run cities is his. The 24 hour reversal to keep targeting everyone is his. 📞 your congress people to get him out! Pressure them!

Convince me that Trump's Micropenis Birthday Bash is anything but Trump, his Cabinet, a couple hundred seat-fillers and thousands of soldiers forced to be there I'll wait

Be highly skeptical of online claims that the individual who attacked Democrats was one himself. A quick look at his online activity, his comments, the accounts he followed, suggests otherwise.

I assume the service members out there today realize that the tradeoff for the cost of the parade was probably a million things that could make their professional lives better and safer. What a shitty way to treat the people under your command

Has the White House made a statement about Minnesota? Has Trump called Gov. Walz? How has Patel responded? How have other Republican elected officials responded? Just asking. Not seeing reporting on these things.

It appears that we are actively and directly involved in a major conflict between Israel and Iran which is rapidly escalating and the only thing we have heard from the admin is an obviously false denial from the Sec of State and a Truth Social post from the president about peace talks.

We’re at war with Iran, Trump’s gone into hiding, nobody will tell us our objectives, plan or end game, our Sec of Defense is a useless dipshit, our Sec of State lied about it, our DNI loves the leader of Iran’s greatest ally, & tomorrow we’re having a parade for Trump’s bday.

This is the slap back to Stephen Miller’s “arrest everyone” madness. And an admission that Trump is under pressure from multiple industries that rely on migrant workers. This is huge and important. Keep amplifying the harm done by the Trump/Miller zealous, cruel overreach. Don’t bury this.

(🚨) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: ON TRUMP'S ORDERS, THE U.S. ARMED FORCES ARE DETAINING AMERICAN CITIZENS OUTSIDE AN INVOCATION OF THE INSURRECTION ACT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN AMERICAN HISTORY We are living in historically dark times. No American can any longer leave their home without being aware of this.

OK the Marines can show up ridiculously overarmed to arrest a black guy but do they even know how to use a tactical baton? Are they trained in the exonerative tense? They’re just not up to replacing the LAPD.

We’ve uncovered fraud, waste, and abuse! ICE has now exceeded its congressionally approved budget. ICE is violating the Antideficiency Act by spending beyond Congressional authorization.

As a side note, this is why many of us have criticized the Gaza campaign. In one night, Israel hit Iran’s air defenses, leadership, top scientists, and damaged nuclear sites. They’re elite—and precise—when they want to be.

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo. It’s cowardice.

Along with abolishing ICE we should abolish all for-profit prison companies in the country.

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process. So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel. Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

I agree with Karoline Leavitt that ABC News needs to issue an apology. I disagree on its recipient. ABC News needs to apologize to Terry Moran and make clear to him that his tweet was journalistically in-bounds—supported by years of public evidence—and he should never have been suspended.

This is the story Trump wants buried. And the media will comply unless we keep talking about it, and demand that Republican members of Congress answer for it.

Donald Trump has become convinced that Republicans cannot win the midterms, and that a blue wave would effectively end his presidency and confront him with two years of investigations and impeachment proceedings. He needs martial law as an excuse to cancel the midterms. So America is on a clock now.

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be the story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

Goldman: Both of the issues Marjorie Taylor Greene raised—were widely publicized and thoroughly debated in committee and on the House floor. If you’re publicly admitting that you didn’t know what you were voting on and now regret it—you’re not competent or qualified to serve in Congress.

The people who defend Cuomo are mostly just calling him “strong” without context. What the fuck does “strong” mean? Mostly, I think, loud. But I also think that it affirmatively means something shitty like “you need to be a strong man to abuse women.”

RFK Jr. is absolutely poisonous. He has now caused Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos, the person in charge of COVID19 vaccinations at the CDC, to resign. She did so because RFK Jr. demanded that the experts in charge of vaccine guidance listen to him and not to the scientific evidence.

It’s worth being more specific than this. If anyone _but_ the POTUS or another top MAGA figure had posted that Joe Biden was executed in 2020 and the person we think is Biden is a robot, that person would _never_ be used as a source by journalists again. Yet media won’t change how it covers Trump.

So if you scroll alllll the way through this document on the administration of Unbound, you hit the point where you see that they owed authors £656,000, and I cannot imagine that Boundless actually believed they would be able to cough that up.

Hey, I'm going to say something general about publishing and bankruptcy. I'm not a bankruptcy expert; I'm just someone who has seen bankruptcy cases and knows how counterintuitive they can be. I do not know anything about UK bankruptcy law.

A thread containing a few more thoughts on the Unbound disaster: When - after a long time of making late payments - Unbound first began to not pay their authors at all, it soon became abundantly clear they were very keen for me not to talk about it publicly. It was tricky...

Who is Peter Thiel? Apparently he is very private and doesn’t like attention. We can change that can’t we? I mean, the dude wants to take over the world with his “network states” society. I’m not going to shut up about him and it’s time to expose his charade.

Many others are posting abt this too but this graphic viscerally shows how dire the presidential budget is for NASA 🔭🧪and worldwide astronomy. I can’t express how sad this makes me, as an American scientist. And it’s mostly already paid for projects, so also no logic in terms of saving money.
