I truly wish this was false but unfortunately, it’s not.. I don’t even know how to process this..

Sometimes I remember Reagan removing Jimmy Carter’s solar panels and I think we’ve been enduring this shit for way too many years.

it is over folks.... he is done

an ipad that says "controls" and showing controls for colors, lights, blinds, curtains, climate, and "moods" (don't ask). also buttons for media, cleaning and more.

Staying in a hotel where everything in the room is controlled by an ipad. And sometimes that means that suddenly all the lights in the room suddenly go off and i have to hunt around for the ipad.

gotta love tech.

One of the tiny silver linings of the absolute implosion of the DOJ is that, with very few exceptions, the lawyers left in the most corrupt offices (like DC) are absolutely the worst litigators of the bunch and the new blood is super green. It's like litigating on Easy Mode after years of Nightmare.

Rep. Kennedy: Will you commit to immediately unmasking every ICE agent and requiring them to wear standard uniforms with identifiable badges?

ICE Chief Lyons: No.

Rep. Kennedy: Your answer is completely unacceptable.

Rep. Garcia: "Sec. Lutnick has been lying to the public. He said that he had no contact with Jeffrey Epstein post 2005. Not only did he have this relationship, he apparently went into business with Jeffrey Epstein. Why are we protecting all of these people in Trump's circle?"

Noncitizen voting in federal elections is already illegal. The SAVE Act doesn’t fix a real problem; it creates one. It builds a giant bureaucracy to hunt for rare cases and ends up blocking huge numbers of eligible citizens who did everything right.

@sifill.bsky.social PBS just announced movies , Casablanca & Executive Order (EO) will be showing in “reel to reel.” EO is abt a country’s decision of white rule. All ‘brown and black people’ are given opportunities to self deport or be deported and a young man and his family fight to stay.

Trump is actively making our goods more expensive by blocking a piece of key infrastructure - apparently all because his most Epstein-linked Cabinet Secretary conveyed a request from a billionaire GOP donor. America does not have to tolerate this kind of corruption.

It’s an odd phenomenon where the long established red line—criminal abuse and rape of young people—has broken down, in part because of decades of elite corruption and in part because it implicates their demagogic leader. But popular revulsion won’t go away, so they’re trying to jury-rig a new line.

Trump is in the unredacted Epstein files "more than a million times," Raskin alleges One document recounts that Trump said he "never" asked Epstein to leave Mar-a-Lago.

Reporter: A 45-year-old florist is closing its doors. Their cost of doing business is too high. A big part of those costs are last year's tariffs. A 6.8% tariff on imported fresh cut roses means if she brings in $10,000 worth of roses, she has to pay an extra $680 before they reach the shop.
