my takeaway from this letter is that glenn youngkin, rector sheridan and their flunkies on the board are deeply dishonest people who are engaged, with the trump administration, in a mob-style shakedown against the university of virginia

Two movies I saw five times in theaters: Young Frankenstein and The Dish.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Happy October 1st! Ready for hoodies and soups and snuggles.

Science is real

Donold used the higher crime numbers from 2023 to justify his takeover of D.C., and soon he'll use lower ones from early January this year to "prove" it worked.

This July 4th, Americans will celebrate the freedoms they used to have.

They are sending roving bands of masked thugs with the stated goal of kidnapping 20 million brown people to transport them to any country they can pay to take them. All this has been cleared by The Stolen Court.

This is not deportation.

This is ethnic cleansing.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium.

ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Today the Supreme Court cleared the way for the federal government to transfer thousands of acres of national forestland including a Native American sacred site, to Resolution Copper a mining company owned by Rio Tinto and BHP. The land holds deep spiritual significance for the Western Apache tribe.

The gift is bad enough on its own, but can we talk about how insane it is to use a foreign-gifted jet as *Air Force One*

Air Force One has a lot of capability that a luxury jet simply doesn’t, and that’s before we even consider the obvious spying/bugging/security concerns.

Second US Navy jet is lost at sea from Truman aircraft carrier | CNN Politics Another F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jet from the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier has been lost in the Red Sea, the second jet lost from the carrier in just over a week, four people familiar with ...

Why are jets falling off aircraft carriers? Did the DEI personnel take all the brakes with them?

Your prediction for the midterms?

$9 billion a year for NSF is absolute chump change. It's nothing. And yet, cutting it will devastate American science for decades.

God, we're led by a morons, empowered by idiots.

Nope, I was right the other million times.

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.

We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

Judge Gives Trump Administration 3 Days To Return Her From El Salvador Prison GREENBELT, MD—Decrying the deportation as “wholly lawless,” U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis ruled Monday that the Trump administration had three days to return her to the United States from a Salvador...

Judge Gives Trump Administration 3 Days To Return Her From El Salvador Prison

This is brave
This is good
Thank you

pretty crazy watching the american president on live tv in the oval office planning the construction of concentration camps in a foreign country to house americans

I was thinking that none of those numbers made sense, but holy fuck this is insane

TO RECAP:
- they’re snatching innocent people off the streets
- they’re deporting people to supermax prisons solely because they have tattoos
- they’re using the Signal app (which holds messages temporarily) so evidence of their crimes isn’t found later
- Republicans are fine with all this

Let it begin.

Just in case anyone was wondering, every bit of this was classified.

Lot of perjury in those hearings yesterday.

Trump wants to set rules for the way states run their elections and wants DOGE to audit voter databases. DOGE. Not an independent entity - his cronies.

Mike Johnson is talking about eliminating district courts.

These are not actions you see in a Democratic Republic.

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

Democracy dies in primer… #bezos

After we published a public audit on Saturday, Elon Musk’s DOGE deleted hundreds more claims from its mistake-plagued “wall of receipts,” wiping out an additional $4 billion in so-called savings that the group had claimed to secure for U.S. taxpayers.
