Still slaps, though I’m utterly heartbroken by its prescience.

"Because of other countries testing programs" President Trump ordered the Pentagon "to start testing our Nuclear Weapons on an equal basis". Normally, testing nuclear weapons refers to explosive testing of a nuclear weapon, something the US has not done at full scale since 1992.

1/n - Trump says something about nuclear weapons tests...It’s hard to know what he means. As usual, he’s unclear, all over the map, and wrong.

1. The United States has more Nuclear Weapons than any other country.

Wrong. Russia has more nuclear weapons than the United States.

This case demands a public inquest.

This trial is painting a picture of horrific systemic failings, and the criminal court is just not the best forum to interrogate that.

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.”

It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

And here I thought socialists hated Nazis.

Enten: "Canada is far more popular than Donald Trump is here in the United States. The net popularity of Canada is +49. Trump is -10. We're talking about Canada coming out nearly 60 points ahead on the net popularity ratings versus Donald Trump here in the US"

Once again, the main day of Tea Party protests had about 300,000 nationwide, but saw endless coverage.

The No Kings protests had about 7,000,000 nationwide, and many media outlets reacted with a yawn.

No Kings was nearly 25x as big as the Tea Party but the Tea Party got 25x the attention.

i probably have some unaddressed anger issues but i'm sorry, if i was here they would have had to put my ass in jail to get me to stop stomping on his guy's head

As a reminder, when Biden announced student loan forgiveness—based upon a statute passed by Congress which explicitly said the President could do exactly that—Douthat called it "semi-Caesarist" because it was done "without consulting Congress."

The score was only 5-4 in the game until Trump applied his tariffs on Canadian runs. #BlueJays

Kid3 is going to another city for a mock trial tournament with her college team this weekend. Just found out that the hotel they are using is housing an ICE team. She’s got her passport card, which establishes she’s a citizen (since adoption, by law). Hope that’s enough. Fuck ICE scum.

Sliwa himself said Ackman and his billionaire goon buddies have tried to bribe him to drop out of the race so “follow the money he’s doing this to embezzle city funds” is one of the most absurd things Ackman has said, and that’s a high bar.

A tweet by Mark Kretschmann showing two photos of the xAI office on Grokipedia release day. The office is filled with small camping tents set up between desks and along hallways, suggesting that engineers have been sleeping there while working late. The caption notes it’s early morning and the engineers are still in their tents, joking that a good night’s sleep does wonders.

NYT headline: U.S. strikes second boat in pacific as anti drug operation expands.

This is driving me crazy. The New York Times calling this madness an “anti-drug operation” is one of the worst forms of propaganda: accepting stated motivations of powerful people as the truth.
