It also spurs would-be MAGA lords to plan for a leadership void and maneuver to come out of it all at or near the top. There will be bloodbaths.

It's a newbie staff under shaky management.
Superb question!
All that matters is that he forgets it.
It's a bird! It's a plane! It's MAGA murderers!
Oh, MAGA! A stranger tried to help my kid when they felt like killing themself. Far better to let them proceed.
If we don't start taxing them justly, we're finished. It's that simple.
If these creeps make any more progress on MAGAfication of America, we will indeed see less sun, and thew wind will be useless to us.
Beats all that toxic farmed salmon!
They got ripped off. I'm sure this will make them really happy that they lost a month of work and life.
This is a serious bid to bury Susan Collins and her hyprocrisies!
Will Trump pardon him again? (Yes, this is a federal conviction.)

Long overdue! I stopped voting for him decades ago, voted against him whenever the alternative was acceptable. He totally blew is chance at glory with the impeachment efforts. After a decent startr, he became a sleepy, smug, predictable hack.

"PWBM projects Trump’s tariffs (April 8, 2025) will reduce long-run GDP by about 6% and wages by 5%. A middle-income household faces a $22K lifetime loss. These losses are twice as large as a revenue-equivalent corporate tax increase from 21% to 36%, an otherwise highly distorting tax." #EconSky
The MAGA mind is eternally pliable as to "facts."
Another simple fact to ponder: The US had a trade surplus with Brazil! So much for Trump's trade logic.
Trump's happy golfing pic was ... a week old.
Nobel Peace Prize for Trump, so much winning for America! A year ago, India was luring manufacturing from China, which was shooting at Indian troops on the border. Putin's economy was faltering amid his bloodbath. And the world was keen on keeping Xi at bay. Trump has fixed everything!

He'll be forever remembered for this.
Putin tries to kill the head of the EU as plans progress toward placing NATO troops in Ukraine (with US air and surveillance backup) to thwart further Russian expansion.
But I'm Spartacus!
Deranged bullies can't quit.
Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays would have been surprised to learn this, no question!

3) Israel claims to have killed six Palestinian militants, no evidence provided. The perpetrators of the attack were units of the Golani Brigade, which massacred 15 Palestinian medical responders in March. No one was held criminally responsible—or will be now.
2) First attacked: a balcony where journalists constantly reported and livestreamed (Reuters and AP,to name two organizations) AND a balcony around the corner (so much for one Hamas camera). Nine minutes later, two fresh Israeli projectiles killed most rescue workers and journalists on the stairway.
Summarizing the contents of this video in a series of posts: 1) Israel has provided no evidence of the camera it claims to have targeted, an attack that would be illegal because hospitals and media workers are protected under the laws of war, or any explanation of why it attacked again.
New Mexico is an amazing place and so proud of the efforts to support public health.
That all depends on what you mean by "assisting" ...
DC has been taken over by the biggest criminal in the nation!

This will inevitably add up to more Democrats, fewer Republicans. No skullduggery, just common sense and care.

It was good viewing during Trump 1, too.
Americans who live overseas will have to stop voting, which would suit him fine.

Trump deathwatch=premature. Dems long for vicious GQP scramble to displace Vance. SCOTUS obeisance to Trump won't apply to Vance & Thiel. Republicans in Congress will seek cover in dissent. Broader, deeper violence in America as maniacs hasten to bury the dem opposition. The economy will implode.
Proposing a rebirth in the US,where—as Vance noted—tens of millions of rural white men are underemployed, unemployed, or plain lazy. '...the American Slavery 2.0 project is a brilliant conceit precisely because it dovetails so many MAGA governing principles into a single, big and beautiful policy!'

Autism is just a meme for MAGA/MAHA. They know nothing, care less.

She was indeed the best Republican to face. She's lost it.
I'm so embarrassed that Americans elected this gang of violent reactionary grifters.

Great mayor, Anne Hidalgo! They've also cut speed limits on the peripherique (ring road), many of whose vehicles are already electric. Paris is leaping into the future. Imagine living in a country where leaders act decisively to solve issues that are worsening here.
It is a constant surprise that this menswear guy's account is one of the funniest things on here.
I miss the old brand #CDC
We can now be certain that our key personal data is accessible to digital miscreants who do not specifically work for the felon-in-chief. Anyone whose Amazon account has ever been hacked can cross their toes and hope that this particular Amazon cloud account is secure, hoho—Musk being so meticulous.
Guardian's Ben Jennings:
The burbling swamp.
' The hacker’s discovery would become a key piece of evidence presented during a trial that began last month in Miami federal court, which dissected the final moments before the collision and ended in a historic $243 million verdict against the company.'
MAGA is cutting services to female troops in hopes that all-male ranks can be restored. There's no limit to the reactionary visions.

I'm sure the BS MAGA bullies are especially vexed that a woman runs the company.
'According to the Portuguese leader, Trump tries to play the role of an "arbiter," but at the same time wants to negotiate "only with one side." Kyiv and its European allies are literally forced to pressure Washington to also take part in the negotiations. ...'
This is simply not regarded as a problem. It's part of the circus mix that preoccupies Americans.
That's more than a school shooting per day. America First Again!
We're on a snowball to hell. Today's infants might well experience planetary collapse. “Even in some intermediate and low-emission scenarios, the Amoc slows drastically by 2100 and completely shuts off thereafter. That shows the shutdown risk is more serious than many people realise.” ...'
One week you're running CIA Russia House and prepping Team Trump for Putin summit. The next your career is over because...Laura Loomer said so? wapo.st/3JVtsXq
Wednesday morning, six 20-person hand crews were on the Bear Gulch fire, five private contractors. The fire covered nearly 9,000 acres and was 13% contained. Under Biden, agents would not conduct operations at natural disaster or emergency sites without “exigent circumstances.”

The CDC will soon be as useless and harmful as those Southern state boards that block globally recognized health measures. America. Americans will face ever worse microbial outbreaks with little expertise and less medical insurance. And if H5N1 breaks out among humans ...
Taxpayers fortunate enough to get PFAS cleaned up at all will have to pay for it themselves when a Trump henchman who fought the PFAS rules overturns US law.
After Nixon won reelection in 1972, months after the Watergate burglary surfaced, he wanted everyone in the government to resign so he could assess loyalties and keep those he wanted. Leakers stepped up. Publicly purging an active agent puts a Russian target on anyone they had worked with or known.

Ukraine’s recent strikes disrupted at least 17% of Russia’s refining capacity, an equivalent of 1.1m barrels a day...“The attacks are massive, coordinated, and repeated; they come in waves, and the refineries simply do not have time to repair the damage... before the next one occurs."

Trump fired 90% of Washington, D.C.'s federal groundskeepers and then took thousands of National Guards from their jobs at home to fill in for them.
Make America Greedier Again!
Sooner or later, Americans must deal with the ferociously antisemitic stances & rhetoric of MAGAs like Nick Fuentes, who has dined with Trump at Mar-a-Lago. Fuentes has said Hitler was “really fucking cool” and “we need to go back to burning women alive.” (From the Atlantic; no paywall)
