CNN: INTEL ASSESSMENT CONTRDICTS TRUMP MSNBC: CEASEFIRE HANGING BY A THREAD FOX NEWS:

To the end of my days, I will not understand why industries that rely on this research are not losing their minds

Genuinely one of the saddest photos.

NUTS SACKED

Mike Johnson brazenly lies: "We are not cutting Medicaid. The president has said that and I have said that. We're all said that. We're strengthening the program."

Please stop sharing this picture of JD Vance. The Vice President is not happy that it's going viral. JD's wife told reporters he is so upset that he hasn't left the couch all day. He's so distraught that he won't even let her go in the room.

The dismantling of the research apparatus that made America the science and tech giant it's been over the past century is the greatest own-goal in history. We haven't even begun to calculate or feel the losses

Hot take: people should be able to call the police to verify if they think they’re being kidnapped by men in masks who won’t identify themselves in unmarked cars without it being a “resisting” crime

this is the most hot dog meme tweet in some time

This is dark

🚨ICE is detaining a record 59,000 people, an increase of 10,000 people in a single month — with detention centers massively overcrowded and people being forced into squalid conditions as the admin pushes to hit Stephen Miller's dangerous quotas of 3,000 arrests a day. www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-rec...

This important whistleblower account (from the DOJ attorney fired for being honest in court) paints an absolutely damning portrait of an administration engaged in a conscious and calculated effort to defy federal court orders. static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

A good friend is about to get mRNA therapy for Stage IV lung cancer. The idea that this heroin dealing, roadkill-eating probable rapist gets to condemn thousands to die in the decades ahead because his worm-addled brain is shot through with conspiracy is really too fucking depressing to contemplate.

If you're going to announce, or promote your recovery, or wear it like a shield, you might want to ensure you're living by the principles behind the steps.

“ok and what do you expect dems to do” well first of all I’d like a statement directed towards law enforcement agencies reminding them that dems will be in power one day, there will be investigations and “just following orders” isnt a legal defense

This is the use of the military for domestic law enforcement; I don’t see any other way to describe it.

AOC from the top rope 🔥….grandpa is gonna love that last part

Emil Bove, a senior Department of Justice official, suggested the department should tell courts “f*** you” and ignore their orders to carry out President Donald Trump’s aggressive deportations, according to a whistleblower complaint by a former DOJ attorney. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

zohran walked the length of manhattan. cuomo won't walk a couple of blocks.

AOC: Are you aware that President Trump's DOJ is investigating United Health Care for criminal insurance fraud? RFK JR: I am not aware of that investigation AOC: You are not aware that the Trump DOJ is investigating the largest insurance company in America for fraud in Medicare Advantage?

PALLONE: With regard to vaccines, are you just afraid to receive public comments on proposals? There's been no public process RFK JR: We have a public process for regulating vaccines. It's called the ACIP committee. PALLONE: You fired the committee!

HERE IS LITERALLY ALEXANDER FUCKING HAMILTON (fed 69):

in a sane world a response like this would raise a shitload of questions instead it is just considered an acceptable answer and the world just moves on to something else

KELLY: Does HHS's vaccine webpage reflects the department's view on covid vaccines? RFK JR: I haven't seen the website KELLY: It's kind of troubling that you're unaware of what your own department's website states. It says they're safe and effective.

“The sun sets in the East. I said that. The president said that. How many times do we have to tell you?”

Andrew Cuomo was the US Secretary of Housing and is now running for mayor, where one of the largest agencies they manage is NYC's Housing Authority. And yet Cuomo literally had ChatGPT write his campaign housing policy. This is who the media and establishment want you to think is "serious"

This is what we are experiencing in LA County. We are being terrorized. This is not an exaggeration. Summer is cancelled here. The dread is palpable.

Q: Are you still committed to Article 5 of NATO? TRUMP: It depends on your definition (That's a no)

Any public figure who said “both” in Chicago would be hunted for sport

Dear @kenwhite.bsky.social

RUIZ: Did you read the report & fact-check its sources prior to publication? RFK JR: I did not fact check RUIZ: It included citations to sources that don't exist. How does that happen? RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions are accurate RUIZ: They did not exist. How can they be accurate?

“Bove stated that D.O.J. would need to consider telling the courts ‘fuck you’ and ignore any such order.” This story is just a blockbuster in every way - exposing Bove & others to both contempt and a suite of bar ethics charges. Hope to add more as time permits, but the whistleblower a hero.

There’s a lot going on, and it seems like every week, #SCOTUS grants another Trump emergency application. But last night’s ruling in the third-country removal case stands out as especially problematic—not just for what it greenlights, but for the defiance of lower courts it necessarily condones:

The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they *knew* was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ

“Our purpose is to really document the effect that Donald Trump is having on you.” – @gtconway.bsky.social

“In Pasadena last week, a man stepped out of his unmarked vehicle at an intersection, unholstered his pistol and aimed it at a group of pedestrians before returning to his car… That incident left the police chief of Pasadena resigned to figure out whether it was a crime or part of a federal raid.”

What a lot of people don’t realize about the revolutionary war is that if one side shot the other side’s drummer and flute player they were just completely fucked. Couldn’t dance, couldn’t sing along, couldn’t do shit. Totally joyless battlefield experience

Absolutely. Because. It’s. All. About. Him.

I like how he uses the same helpless but authoritative tone I use to try and stop the cat from vommiting on the rug

The last few days have truly been a low point for the American news media. And it’s all because journalists in this country—and their corporate masters—lack the courage to say what they all know and say endlessly in private: That Trump is stupid, and nuts.

MUH PEACE PRIZE

Meanwhile, Russia is terror bombing Ukrainians every night with Iranian weapons; but Trump - who was going to "end" that war in 24 hours - no longer even comments on it. For a "peacemaker" Trump has a surprisingly robust and growing war record.
