BREAKING: In the foreign aid funding case, Judge Amir Ali finds that Trump’s “pocket rescission” does not change the executive branch’s obligation to spend appropriated funds unless Congress acts on his rescission request. Along with other findings, Ali then grants a new preliminary injunction.
Tom Homan is a bitch, but Bari Weiss is a piece of shit
Read about how Francis J. Allman, Chief Judge of Florida’s Second Judicial District, is an un-American censorial fascist thug worthy of contempt.
I liked him so much better when he was dead.
Two things can be — and are — true here: Bowser is not the champion DC needs in this moment, and The Washington Post has become a Trump rag. A newspaper that actually cared about the city in its name would not publish such an inflammatory, bullshit headline.
So the big announcement from President Dipshit is that he's a dipshit?
Today’s ruling affirms what we know to be true: the federal government cannot unlawfully deploy troops against our communities. Our neighborhoods, workers, and families deserve safety – not military intimidation. www.latimes.com/california/s...
If it’s under Title 32 authority, the Texas guard remains under state control. That would mean that one state is deploying armed forces into the territory of a non-consenting state. And that’d clearly be a violation of the principle that states are co-equal, territorially limited sovereigns.
To be a political reporter in 2025, you have to be gullible enough to believe that a convicted felon who launched a violent coup attempt is worried about crime. Or you just have to be willing to pretend you’re that gullible. Either way, we deserve better.
🤔 They could help by not deporting people who contribute to society.
I wonder if a doorstep trapdoor to a very cushioned temporary holding area would lead to charges against the person inside the pranked home? You could 🤔 let the rude-ass prankster out at an appropriate time.
That's a very sick old man, and he also looks unwell.
Pass this along. Thanks!!
🤞🏻I'm vaccinated & hopeful, however: “There is great interest in studies suggesting the shingles vaccine may reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, ... this analysis is largely based on observational studies, which cannot demonstrate cause and effect. ... ... far more research is needed, ..."
Live your life in such a way that the internet isn’t sitting in tense hope for the better part of a day longing for your death.

"The government said the A.I. screening tool..." FUCK YOUUUUUU
No matter what's going on with his health, I don't believe his people in power around him can let him resign or die of natural causes. They need him to be considered a martyr, otherwise he just fades to dust and so do they. (Just my opinions, of course. Ymmv.)

Once, on a different platform, I thought I understood something better than Chris understood it. I was so wrong, and I learned my lesson. 😂
It absolutely breaks my heart & infuriates me that the CDC—and our whole damned country—has to deal with the stick-waving crazed monkeys who are breaking everything within their reach. I was honoured to work closely with many highly skilled professional CDC staff prior to retiring in 2020. 😢
Do you ever think that maybe America’s factory setting is “evil”?
"... how’s the divorce coming along, BECKY?” 😂 (My inner voice reading this cracked me up. 😂)
Trump wants you to think he’s broken the rule of law. But that’s not true. Guardrails still exist, starting with grand juries, which are declining to indict criminal cases that are lacking. We need to remember the Constitution puts power in other hands for a reason. It’s time to use it.
Cute! 🤗
Same. Ne Obliviscaris, indeed.
Snoop Dog said his grandchild asked him about a scene in a movie in which a child was shown with two parents who presented as women (making no assumptions). The grandchild was confused about how this could be, & Snoop was annoyed about having to deal with the question.

NEW: The government has offered Mr. Abrego deportation to Costa Rica if he pleads guilty, and threatened deportation Uganda if he does not. According to his lawyers in a new filing, that violates his 5th Amendment due process rights. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-govern...
What would tickle me is if the Texas racist gerrymandering is found unconstitutional and halted and the California fafo gerrymandering is successful. 😁

"Here's what I found: Once fascists win power democratically, they have never been removed democratically. Not once. Ever." What do people think about this?

My thoughts exactly. May his memory be forgotten.
Don't fuck with the hippies, man. They've been holding onto a lot of stuff and you don't want it.
I'm with 👇🏻, but I had no idea what was going to happen that summer. 🤷🏼♂️😂
SCOOP — Members of DC National Guard are preparing to carry M17 pistols, multiple sources confirm to me. This follows earlier reports that the guard reversed course and would soon be arming members in DC. Now we know they’re making sure they meet requirements if/when the order to arm them comes.
Catch-22 is a shit way to run a country. If hypothetical/mythical "good" law enforcement people do nothing to stop blatantly "evil fucking fascist" law enforcement people, there's no daylight between them. So far I'm seeing zero daylight. 🤬
How you view ICE reveals the truth about how you would have viewed the Nazis had you been a German during World War II
Trump is a sucker and a loser.
It's just completely looney-tunes to me that a huge number of flight attendants aren't paid until the plane is in the air. Like when you hear the announcement "flight attendants, please prepare the cabin for departure," they're being instructed to do a work task that they literally won't be paid for
When it comes to dressing well, or being artistic or creative in any way, I'm what's known as "audience". I appreciate when others do it, but it's just not going to be me.

No one should underestimate for a moment the hatefulness of the current majority of high court justices.
"Country roads, take me home to the place I belongggg..." 😂
This is a horrifying over-reach on OpenAI's part and they should be raked over the coals for it. Autocomplete is not a doctor!

"If SCOTUS guts the Voting Rights Act, the prospect of Republicans stealing only 5 seats in Texas will feel quaint. While California must counteract what the GOP is doing in Texas, we don’t have enough seats to counteract what they could do if the VRA if gutted. It cement permanent GOP rule."
I get that, too. You're a good guy—as much as I know—and I think your daughter is very fortunate.
I understand. 51 means you're 'past' 50. I hit 60 in October and 🤷🏼♂️, but 61? 🫣 It'll lose its sting once it's past. 🤞🏻
Even though I grew up in a family and community full of it and see it all around, I don't understand it. I'll never understand it. 😢

As a kid, they made me say the words "with liberty and justice for all" every day at 8AM. Now I'm "woke" and "unAmerican" because I want liberty and justice for all.
MAGATS pushed relentlessly for the Epstein list because they thought Clinton was in it. Now they KNOW Trump is on the list they don’t want it anymore. Meanwhile democrats know there’s probably democrats on the list, but they want ALL PEDOPHILES exposed, regardless of party.
*blep 🥰
Trump should go fuck himself!
And may the galloping never-get-overs afflict him to the end of his days.
Jeffrey Epstein unsealing, order just out is also 4 page but slightly different from Judge Engelmayer's in Maxwell: some filings due July 29 (public?) and also, victim letters by August 5; order cites 1000 victims... Maximum Maxwell: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...

Hunter Biden has a point. And a quite colorful one.
Based on my 30+ years of working with people in all aspects of information technology, including highly confidential data, imo, some of the thousands who had access to those files made copies of the whole thing—documents, recordings, photos, & videos—or at least parts of it. It's out there.
Our local Kroger store's least expensive price in WV is $8.49.

I wonder if they'll spend the next 3½ days trying to create documents which have never existed or they'll functionally just ignore the Judge's Order. Sadly, my guess is the former.
😢
For folks without a wsj sub...
They mean to be as insulting to Black people, as dismissive of our lives, as resistance to our status as full citizens in this country as they can be. There is no common ground to be had at the expense of our sisters & daughters’ lives and our dignity as a people. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/17/u...

I rejoice in their infighting, and hope it tears them all to shreds. We agree on that, and that's enough for me.
Expansive empathy is a thing. I can be upset that a person I respect shared a screenshot from an offensive shit poster just to show that the shit poster is against Trump now - and I'm many magnitudes more upset about the violence perpetrated by ICE and by others.
I didn't ask that he redact the username. I generally block people who platform that word and words distorted to bring that word to mind, and I don't want to block Brian.
It's not unreasonable to politely ask someone you respect to avoid using offensive language.
Please consider deleting this. Some of the best people I'll ever know were tormented by that word.
Any politician who has never flown on the world’s most famous pedophile’s jet should call for a bipartisan committee to investigate — and then release — the Epstein files. What a way to reach across the aisle.
Exactly this!! 👇🏻 Identity all the people raping and/or otherwise abusing children in those photos!
