I've regularly watched Trump's speeches for damn near a decade now, and he's always been a rambler. Loves to deviate from the teleprompter, loves to tell weird little stories, loves his weird wandering asides

What he never used to do, though, was repeat himself. That's extremely new

It’s not just that the Administration isn’t answering questions about Iran.

They’re lying.

Every Tomahawk missile launched costs taxpayers ~$2 million.

Trump could choose to fund Americans’ health care instead – but his priority is another deadly forever war.

I feel like this new research showing that Covid *literally* infects the heart and gives "healthy" people new serious cardiac problems should somehow be bigger news.

They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that

Ah a stolen valor guy. Yeah that fits.

“Sheehy’s military colleagues reportedly do not recall him mentioning a gunshot wound or seeing such an injury at the time of his active service.”

Moving petroglyphs and bulldozing roads to Native America sites.

A lot of Texans of all races proudly said, “I’m voting for Jasmine Crockett.” It mattered. In the end, Texans chose Talarico, and she will support the nominee. She said it herself.

That said, this Texas primary is one I will never forget, even though I’d like to. Hear me out…

A Running Count of How Many People ICE Has Killed and Injured - The American Prospect ICE is not required to report any use-of-force incidents against the public. So The American Prospect created our own running tally.

We updated our record of people immigration agents have killed or caused to die since Trump took office in January 2025.

As of today, agents have killed at least 28 people in the field and 48 people in custody.

Vehicle Tire Pressure Sensors Enable Silent Tracking Like many other features and systems in modern cars, tire pressure sensors leak sensitive data that can be abused by threat actors.

Security researchers have revealed that signals from tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMSs), required in U.S. cars since 2007, can be used to track vehicles from 40-50 meters away using devices costing $100.

TPMSs send a unique sensor identifier that never changes during the lifetime of the tire.

Why? It's not that America anymore.

The child care block grant gets less than $9 billion a year for the entire country

Last week Trump again told Congress and the country that his strikes on Iran last year "obliterated" Iran's nuclear weapons program.

Today he says they were two weeks away from a bomb, something his Administration has not supported with intelligence.

More lies about the war.

Listen all the way through. Jim gets it.

Chelsea Creek pictured in the early morning mist. Lot’s Road power station on the left, Chelsea Harbour apartments on the right. The tide has gone out below revealing the muddy depths.

Chelsea Houseboats approaching Cheyne Pier. Multi-coloured, the high rise apartments behind them shrouded in Thames mist. In the foreground, the mud of the foreshore at low tide.

The V-shaped Saxon fish trap at Chelsea, seen at low tide. Thames kayakers on the river in the background just appearing from under Battersea Bridge.

Another view of the V-shaped Saxon fish trap at Chelsea, upstream of Battersea Bridge. Still misty this morning, the sun had not yet appeared to burn off the cloud cover.

Distracting myself from *waves in the general direction of everything* by a stroll to Chelsea Creek and Foreshore to check on the wondrous Saxon fish trap. V-shaped, carbon dated to the reign of King Offa, 757- 796 CE. It’s comforting amid the madness to think how well this structure has survived.

I was telling a partner about something I saw at the Supreme Court and he said he was three when that happened and now I am in a mood to thwart and frustrate all youth

Do U.S. Presidents Have the Power to Declare War? On paper, declaring war is reserved for Congress. The Tonkin Gulf Resolution turned a constitutional requirement into a legislative habit of looking away.

The Constitution gives Congress authority to declare war—but Presidents have engaged in military activity without approval. Where does this creeping claim to a power reserved for the legislature leave us? newyorkermag.visitlink.me/z_4ovC

Yes, we’re well aware. That’s precisely the problem.

Kristi Noem is stealing your tax dollars.

Call your Senators and House Rep and demand that she be impeached.

A key to waging war successfully is retaining public trust and playing it straight.

SecDef Pete Hegseth appears to be doing the opposite here - with his claims about US interceptor capacities contradicted by real time reporting.

Echoes of Vietnam-era false assurances.

KAMLAGER-DOVE: At any point in your tenure at DHS, have you had sexual relations with Corey Lewandowski?

NOEM: You're peddling tabloid garbage

K: You should be able to answer if someone asks if a federal official is sleeping with their subordinate

NOEM: It's garbage

K: It's about your judgment

i am told on here all the time that theres just nothing democrats can do in congress and that its pointless to do messaging bills and yet here is a member of the fucking majority - one of the worst cretins -- doing just that.

Screenshot of an X post by journalist Jonathan Karl quoting a message heard when calling the State Department emergency number, advising Americans not to rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation. Below is a video still of Karl speaking in a newsroom.

Rubio’s State Department had all this time to prepare but failed to consider what the impact would be. Just like what happened with USAID when they gutted it overnight. Criminal incompetence.

In just two months, Zohran Mamdani has:

-Launched the first stage of his universal childcare program
-Rolled Trump into releasing a detained Columbia student
-Used fair wages to get New Yorkers to clear streets and sidewalks during a blizzard

FYI: This is what leadership looks like.
