Unless these DOD lawyers are ALJs, it appears to me there’s no statutory basis for this move. It’s illegal.

“LIKE A BROKEN RECORD” Now that the @nytimes is reporting Modi and Trump had a falling out over Trump’s lie that he deserves credit for the India-Pakistan ceasefire, we re-submit to you this clip of an Indian anchor calling him out months ago — even as 🇺🇸 media wouldn’t.

It’s time to rethink what guns are allowed to be sold. What message does it send when people value their ability to get an assault rifle over their own children’s lives. If people think it can’t happen to them, why not ask these parents what they thought last week… wanna guess the answer?
The Question (@thatisthequestion.bsky.social)
This is… I can’t even fathom a word… tragic, horrific fall so short it’s pathetic… children should be our #1 priority, they are the future. Enough is enough. When someone proves they are incapable of responsible use of something, it’s taken away. We’ve proven incapable of responsibly having guns

Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:

Having cared for a family member with dementia I can say this with absolute certainty… DUH! Of course he does. I could have told that a year or two ago at least. His campaign speeches literally reminded me of talking to someone with dementia… how msm don’t blown that up is insane.

From the WH pool this morning: Trump left for an “unannounced location” at 9:27 a.m. His motorcade then drove to his golf club in Virginia, arriving at 10:02 a.m. “There was one person in a car who gave the motorcade the middle finger as it drove by,” the pool report states.

I hear it’s a super nice guy too. Obviously never had the pleasure but he’s played so many iconic roles I grew up with, from grandmaster luke to the insane joker, so many roles in between (though I loved him playing the trickster), he’s really incredible.
