Border patrol chief reprimanded for lying claims shots were fired at immigration officers in Chicago Gregory Bovino was called out by a judge only two days earlier for lying about being assaulted by a protester

If he has been found to lie constantly, he should be charged with perjury. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

What the hell are we doing?

Trump's tariffs are hurting us in two ways:

First, the obvious: Higher costs → either lower profits or higher prices.

Second, more subtle (perhaps bigger): We’ve signaled we’re an unreliable partner, so allies are reorganizing supply chains to avoid us. That's hard to unwind.

#GVerse Um. WTF???

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy: "Pilots need to stop depending on air traffic controllers. They need to suck it up and go with their gut feelings."

This is the stupidest and most dangerous administration in history.

Meanwhile, CEOs make 280 times the typical worker today.

The system is rigged.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Good morning and happy Sunday 🐴 🥰

Someone should go there and show them the clips of Trump's Great Gatsby party. I bet they'd be so happy to know he's having fun.

If I were to defy a court order, I'd be in jail, not building a ballroom.

Reopen government, swear in Adelita Grivala, release the Epstein Files, restore healthcare subsidies, and fund SNAP.

The U.S. has executed more than 66 alleged drug smugglers—and their identities are more complicated than the “narco-terrorist" label put on them.

One strike killed a local crime boss, while another killed a 41-year-old fisherman from a Venezuelan peninsula plagued by poverty trib.al/VN49FO2

At least some people’s lives have improved in Donald Trump’s America.

Grateful for this Delta flight attendant for providing some clarity on the upcoming changes to flights during the holidays.

Chris Coons: "He's not listening to concerns about lowering costs. Instead he's worried about decorating his new Marie Antoinette ballroom or engaging in trying to figure out how to get his name on more statues and stadiums, or he's sitting across the table in the Oval Office with authoritarians."

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

"I stick up for Adolf Hitler. Not a lot of people do because in many cases they're jealous. They wish they did what he did. They would have no problems if they did what he did."

The purge begins.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.

Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

Trump’s VA Made It Harder for Male Veterans to Get Treatment for Breast Cancer. Lawmakers Want to Fix That. After ProPublica revealed changes to how the Department of Veterans Affairs covers men with breast cancer, House members demanded the agency reverse its decision. Separately, new Senate legislation wo...

“It is clear with this decision that VA has callously put political calculations and adherence to unscientific executive orders above its obligations to provide care to veterans,” lawmakers wrote in a letter to the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Elections in democracies determine who administers the government; they do not alter whom the government is for. Under any administration, Republican or Democratic, the United States government exists to serve the people of the United States, regardless of their partisan affiliation. Besides, Americans are not as easily divided as Trump might think. Millions of Republican voters live in New York, just as millions of Democrats live in Texas. He cannot tell whom he is punishing by glancing at an electoral map. But even if he could, Trump’s acts of extortion have no place in a democracy. They belong in a protection racket: If you support Trump, you are protected; if you do not, you are vulnerable. If you donate enough cash to Trump, you may receive favorable treatment, including immunity from the law. If you oppose Trump, you may be prosecuted.

This is not how a representative government works. It is how the Mafia works.

Went back to the history of the Sicilian Mafia to illustrate something obvious but worth stating explicitly: The Trump administration behaves like an organized crime syndicate running a protection racket, not a representative government www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Games industry forces RTOs (often involving moving cities for a job that may not exist in a few months) because being in office together on zoom is just ~*so heckin valuable*~

but then replaces as many people as they can get away with with chatbots because the human connection doesn’t matter

Hmm!

The same guy who "doesn’t want to hear about affordability" posted about his new marble bathroom 7 times last week.

It's about stopping all immigration, legal or otherwise.

DHS confirmed it has stopped automatically storing officials' text messages.

Instead, officials are supposed to take a screenshot, send that to their work email, download it onto their work computer and run a text-recognition program on it. Every time.

RENMAC: “.. Ship counts from Asia to the US are down sharply against last year. We add up container ship tonnage across several countries, down roughly 20 percent against last year. Not sure what it means, probably not the best sign heading into the holiday season.”

I have asked the DOJ to immediately begin an investigation into the Meat Packing Companies who are driving up the price of Beef through Illicit Collusion, Price Fixing, and Price Manipulation. We will always protect our American Ranchers, and they are being blamed for what is being done by Majority Foreign Owned Meat Packers, who artificially inflate prices, and jeopardize the security of our Nation’s food supply. Action must be taken immediately to protect Consumers, combat Illegal Monopolies, and ensure these Corporations are not criminally profiting at the expense of the American People. I am asking the DOJ to act expeditiously. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

grandpa really might be cooked on the economy. if this is the best he's got it's gonna be a brutal midterm for Republicans
