"Never saw a caveman get hit by a car, did you?" RFK Jr. asked, as he took a break from gnawing the leg of his coffee table. "That's because they didn't eat food dyes." In the corner of the room stood a man only known as Doctor Cowabunga. Together they would decide the future of medical research

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

I keep hearing about how these guys have a long-term economic strategy, while they are in fact saying things like this with a straight face. Stop the sane-washing. They are eating the crayons right in front of us.

Guys, I have bad news: Lowering tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to 65% still destroys the economy. It appears totally lost on people just *how* absurd 145% is. This is like saying we're no longer going to shoot you 15 times. Only 7 times. You are still dead, but please thank us.

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.” He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.” Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up. Marriott still has my business.

Really need journalists to push back on this bullshit. When they say this, just ask them point blank: "Are you saying that because one Latino man committed a murder, another Latino man deserves a life sentence? Do you think all Latino men interchangeable?"

Hegseth has been a proven failure as a secretary of defense. If the president still refuses to fire him, he should resign. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The children going through immigration court and deportation must be terrified. It’s bad enough the kids have to deal with it, but to make them go through it alone because the regime ended funding for unaccompanied minors to have lawyers is unconscionable. gothamist.com/news/4-year-...

To celebrate Earth Day, here's a map of all the Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO) in Iowa. The amount of livestock manure Iowa produces is equivalent to the waste generated by 168 million people, or about 3,000 people per square mile. The human population of Iowa is 3.2 million.

lol imagine thinking you can wreck all these agencies and fire all these people and do all this damage and just “leave” and go back to running your car company. Brother, you’re on the hook for all this and no one is just going to forget.

If you wonder why the DHS Secretary brought $3,000 in cash to dinner, consider that she is reportedly having an affair with her unofficial top aide. (Both are married.) Free link: www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale RTd this thread, which says Trump shld act fast & “Fire people who can't be fired. Force them to litigate. Mass deport people who can't be deported. Force them to litigate. Cancel 100s of billions in funding that are not lawful to cancel & force them to litigate.” 1/

Why are tech billionaires plotting to build a new city on Greenland? The answer is weirder and scarier than you think. And — for some strange reason — the mainstream press just won't talk about it. www.thenerdreich.com/tech-billion...

🚨UPDATE: New evidence filed by the ACLU last night shows that the Trump administration is going forward with more Alien Enemies Act deportations in seeming violation of the Supreme Court's clear command that people be provided a "meaningful" opportunity to seek judicial review.

The FBI is trying to criminalize Habitat for Humanity for receiving climate grants from the EPA. The nonprofit that builds houses for the poor. This is targeted harassment and clearly demonstrates just how absurd and extreme the Trump regime has become. Now THAT's weaponizing the "Justice" dept.

A Reagan-appointed judge just issued a scathing rebuke of the government’s actions in the Abrego Garcia case, warning of a constitutional crisis and executive overreach. This ruling is stunning—because it had to be. #WilkinsonDecision #RuleOfLaw #AbregoGarcia #FourthCircuit #LegalNews
