In Minneapolis "Twenty is plenty."
Discriminating Texans opting for the silverplated bowls instead of the stainless?
Sing it: "He touched me. I felt a certain tingle, when he touched me . . . "
And unsigned. Who's the umpire? Is this a ball or strike?
2010: My source of existential dread is climate change 2016: ... climate change! and fascism 2020: ... climate change!! and fascism and pandemics 2024: ... climate change!! and fascism!! and pandemics and AI really not enjoying the direction this is going to be quite honest
pulling a critique of the bell curve from a university library but not the bell curve is as concise a way i can think of to describe the goal of the speech discourse in the past 15 years
"It might say that, but..." Trump just taking cues from John Roberts' jurisprudence.
seasoned
Four jobs in fourteen months, a seasomed hand at the helm at DHS.
She could do it one more time -- fly down to CECOT again and escort Mr. Garcia home.
Ms. Heiman must be busy, not even time for a proof-read of her motion ("filings in during"). Apparently the other four government attorneys of record on this filing also "failed to realize" the deadline had been set -- poor calendar management.
And due regard for the court means you were required to submit answers evidencing compliance with the effective order.
The base commander will likely be fired for it, but it highlights the tension between our military's appreciation of our reliance on allies and the Trump administration's squandering on the goodwill our military generates. www.military.com/daily-news/2...
And people still think we’re having the World Cup here next year, and the Olympics in 2028.😳 There’s no way.
never in history has the stock market rallied so hard because the president said he was going to reverse his own policy decision
"And neither are" . . . Cabinet members.
A "registered agent" does not own or run the company.
At face value, this would appear to be most serious potential compromise of US national interest, for private gain, on record. Any clearer example? Actual question. (To spell out the conflict: Musk's private businesses depend *crucially* on (a) connections/good will in China (b) same inside DOD)
Again, elon shows math is hard! I'm not a rocket scientist, but then neither is he.
Nothing.
"Well, you see, Your Honor, when we said they were all 'criminals' we meant that to be taken seriously but not literally."
In the final stretch of my PhD thesis on nests, I keep thinking about this pigeon's masterpiece. It doesn’t have to be perfect, just done. Let’s do this! 🐦🪶 #PhD #PhDsky 🧪
Trump (idiotically) objects to maps w "artificial lines drawn through them." Bad news for 49 US states plus DC. All except Hawaii (plus other islands) have straight-lines as some part of their border. And spare a thought for Colorado and Wyoming! Bonus: would you hire someone who said this?
The essence of Trumpism is inventing an imagined world in which everything is worse.
Tina Smith's washington office moments ago told me "we do not yet have an answer" to my asking them to tell me that Smith would vote no on closure.
The funniest thing about all this is Joe Biden built a "bring back US manufacturing" button and Trump could have just kept pressing it but instead he insisted on smashing the "crash the stock market" button
Can’t even keep his hellscape of a social platform online… yet Republicans trust him with the keys to all of our data?
They could have just voted for Harris and given the money to charity and taken the tax deduction 🤷♀️
So Musk’s people, who misread $8 million as $8 billion, who counted the same contracts multiple times and counted as savings programs that ended last year, claim that their AI is finding lots of Social Security fraud. Why should anyone worry?
Doesn't it seem like this is actually a search for blackmail material against their enemies? In fact, this search for "fraud" looks more and more like a massive extortion racket. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
One neat thing about all this is Trump got really mad when people would accuse him during his first term of secretly trying to do a quid pro quo with Zelensky and now this term he’s just openly telling everyone who will listen: I’m doing a quid pro quo, I want my minerals
I believe it's hr@opm.gov
NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com
I’d like to speak up
In any other era, the Secretary of Defense threatening to invade an ally and one of our largest trade partners would be front page news for days. It’s not even the stupidest, most reckless thing this administration has done this afternoon. apple.news/AG-YEzrFtQlG...
the "created" part probably passes muster with them.
Bring back braces!
Doge targets the dei cooties
Please, point me to it, so I can push the button again, and again, and again
DOJ: It would take weeks to comply! Anyone reading the initial order: you have had weeks to comply.
Somebody tell Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, Henry Knox, and Edmund Randolph.
"Good oligarchs on both sides..."
DOGE administrator is an interesting question, but Judge Kolkar-Ketelly's question is the important one: who is the Adminstrator of USDS?
I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner
If Chuck Grassley were to send hr@opm.gov an email of "What I did in Congress in the last 50 years?" this might be a top-5 bullet-point accomplishment.
Many remember trump's multi-billion dollar bail-out to producers the last time the 'america first' agenda mucked up world markets, and expect they'll be so favored again.
Feds: if directed by your agency heads to reply, respond with this: Bullet 1: I supported and defended the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; Bullet 2: I bore true faith and allegiance to the same
Good. More congressmembers should be inviting letters from Ed Martin.
Keep us posted, Senator Smith, on the progress of AUSA Martin's criminal investigation of your incivility.
This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.
I hope there is some media outlet, nonprofit institution, or university that has set itself the simple task: *remember this*. One of the most shocking & disturbing things about Trump's first term was how the vast bulk of it just vanished down the memory hole almost as soon as it happened.
First on the chopping block: The federal proofreaders.
Petitioner is City of Clarksville. Can a municipality be defamed? The $100 bond is a nice touch.
SCOOP: Naval Academy leaders sent an email to faculty this week that teaching about “divisive concepts” such as systemic racism + sexism is no longer permitted. Faculty also can’t talk about environmental justice or gender ideology. Our exclusive: www.thebaltimorebanner.com/education/hi...
The transplants, just one of his gender-affirming surgeries.
