Rand Paul: "The reason we have trials & we don't automatically assume guilt is what if we make a mistake and they happen to be people fleeing the Venezuelan dictator? ... off our coast it isn't our policy just to blow people up ... even the worst people in our country, they still get a trial."
If the U.S. military isn't going to release details on the justification for killing 11 civilians in a civilian boat who weren't posing a threat to anyone, then we have to conclude the "justification" is: the U.S. military is willing to kill civilians to give Trump social media content.
I feel like in the 1980ās/90ās this would be a major plot point in a Tom Clancy novel, and the operation would be carried out as an off-book, illegal black op, with various characters trying to cover it up lest they face congressional hearings. Now the President just announces it.

Pete Hegseth in December on military training: āWeāre bringing a war-fighting ethos back to the Pentagon. Everything else that distracts from lethality shouldnāt be happening.ā
obviously Trump always talks in these histrionic terms but itās very funny to take the position of āif we return to the trade policy of my first term the whole country diesā
The lies' laughable implausibility is a feature, not a bug. They're not trying to convince discerning, skeptical, fact-based people. They're trying to give supporters a fantasy that validates their feelings and creates a sort of loyalty test, while flaunting the absurdity in everyone else's faces.
In the 21st century, how could you order up ethnic cleansing and genocide without a little crypto and AI and real-estate speculation sprinkled on top? { gift link } wapo.st/4g2eATo
This is totally accurate; I think for most itās a Hollywood timeline, starts with a huge red flag event and then in a matter of days/weeks āit happensā - Americans arenāt wired to recognize the slow rollā¦

"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground? Do local law enforcement account for nothing? We've got the National Guard GARDENING right now in DC. Is that an efficient use of our resources?"

Being kind boosts mental health more than seeking joy. Evidence: Doing 3 random acts of kindness a week is enough to reduce depression, anxiety & loneliness. It's more beneficial than doing nice things for yourself. Self-care feels good, but generosity builds lasting bonds.

In Michigan, we passed a red flag law, safe storage, universal background checks, and closed the domestic violence loophole. We CAN make change. But we wonāt stop this epidemic of gun violence until we elect people at every level who view our kids and communities' safety as a priority.
Prayer works *almost* to the point of saving the lives of schoolchildren.
I guess the grand jury thought it was funny
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns donāt kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
After a mass shooting in Minneapolis killed two children and injured at least 17 other people, Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve criticized the inaction to reduce gun violence. "Itās such an indictment of our society, our lack of regard for life."

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
This isnāt bad luck or coincidence or predestination. This is our choice. To live in a nation where our leaders teach hate, and military style guns are everywhere.

Two children were killed and seventeen people were injured in a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School. A Cracker Barrel logo change received far more scrutiny and attention than any fight against the epidemic of gun violence in this country. Our priorities remain idiotic.

This imagery is the kind of thing you see in video games to let you know youāre in a totalitarian city or country.
National Guard soldiers called into service for President Trump's law enforcement surge in D.C. have been assigned to spread mulch at federal monuments. Normally the Park Service does that, but the administration laid off the workers. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Our warfighters can be found spreading mulch near the Tidal Basin, demonstrating their lethality to dandelions and crabgrass. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
This is a bright spot
In case you were asking what all the bullshit about the logo was really about.
Compromise suggestion: The President can redesign the Cracker Barrel logo, and the Fed can set interest rates.

Jordy: I call it the leaky fascist faucet. You have CEOs giving Trump gold, then it's let's do a little gerrymandering, let's send the National Guard into this one city, and the next. And then? It'll be: We need to deploy the military during elections to make sure no "election fraud" is happening.
This perfectly describes both the Trump presidency and the Republican Congress. The only true thing he said today.

Bay FC vs. Washington Spirit at Oracle Park made history with over 40k fans attending, making it the most-attended women's professional league match in the United States.
These dumb ass replies make me even more concerned for our future. People think that simply yelling their extreme frustrations louder, at everyone, is the solution. He's not saying he agrees. He's explaining their psyche the way he sees it. Keep attacking allies, makes sense fools. We're doomed.

This is what Trump's Solicitor General told the Supreme Court about Maxwell last month. Unless it's withdrawn, this is the official position of DOJ and the United States.
Before the election, my MAGA focus group said its top priorities were ending inflation and releasing the Epstein files. Now, that same group says its top priorities are defunding scientific research and prosecuting John Bolton.

Crucial to remember that Trump installed Kash Patel as FBI director *for this very purpose.* The very thing that recommended Patel to Trump was that he expressly said in 2023 that enemies of Trump/MAGA must be prosecuted. newrepublic.com/article/1994...
Why is he saying we? Since when does the VP take credit for a DOJ investigation?
Trump says that DC having a week with no homicides was something that happened "for the first time in memory." The last time that happened was March, where there was a 16-day streak without a homicide.

You canāt bend reality; you can shatter trust. Politicized stats fool no oneāmarkets, the Fed, and CEOs will ignore propagandaābut they will all suffer without reliable data. Break the thermometer, and you still have a fever. And without reliable diagnostic tools, you won't get the right medicine.
But if, like @gavinnewsom.bsky.social, you're not a deranged narcissistic sociopath like Donald Trump, you are *not* allowed to make fun of a deranged narcissistic sociopath like Donald Trump by tweeting like one.
how many times am I gonna have to post this
Thereās probably no connection between Trumpās post suggesting slavery wasnāt that bad, his restoration of monuments honoring Confederates, and renaming of military bases to honor traitors who believed that it was simply a property right being taken from them without just cause.
Imagine the outrage on the right if, during the 2024 presidential campaign, Jack Smith had sent Trump a letter urging him to drop out āas an act of good faith.ā
The fact that the thing we're calling artificial intelligence *can't do math* and yet we're jamming it into programs that successfully *have done math* for decades, then warning people against using the AI to do math, seems like an excellent summary of where we are.
