The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.

Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

Veggie fajitas for dinner with portabella mushrooms, peppers, onions, and squash. Finished with a drizzle of chimichurri butter, guac and sour cream. So good. 😍🍜🍽️

Hillary Clinton never even met Jeffrey Epstein, but was forced to testify about him. #CoverUp

Donald J. Trump Q+
@realDonald rump
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL NEVER ALLOW A RADICAL LEFT, WOKE COMPANY TO DICTATE HOW OUR GREAT MILITARY FIGHTS AND WINS WARS! That decision belongs to YOUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, and the tremendous leaders I appoint to run our Military.
The Leftwing nut jobs at Anthropic have made a DISASTROUS MISTAKE trying to STRONG-ARM the Department of War, and force them to obey their Terms of Service instead of our Constitution. Their selfishness is putting AMERICAN LIVES at risk, our Troops in danger, and our National Security in JEOPARDY.
Therefore, I am directing EVERY Federal Agency in the United States Government to IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic's technology. We don't need it, we don't want it, and will not do business with them again! There will be a Six Month phase out period for Agencies like the Department of War who are using Anthropic's products, at various levels. Anthropic better get their act together, and be helpful during this phase out period, or I will use the Full Power of the Presidency to make them comply, with major civil and criminal consequences to follow.
WE will decide the fate of our Country - NOT some out-of-control, Radical Left Al company run by people who have no idea what the real World is all about. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

If another country suspects that Americans have drugs on their boat are they allowed to blow it up and kill everyone too, or are only we allowed to do that?

Melania Trump is directly associated with both Epstein and Maxwell. Why aren’t we demanding that she is deposed. This also relates to her visa.

Pam Bondi Hit With Embarrassing New Setback in Court A judge criticized the Justice Department’s handling of the case, saying it could not be trusted to conduct a review of a reporter’s devices on its own.

Slowly (much too slowly) judges are finally realizing that they cannot trust Bondi's DOJ.

In this case, a judge just ruled that DOJ cannot be trusted to obey the law while searching a reporter's electronics so the court will review them instead.

This is Trump's America.

How about a law that says a state of emergency declared by the President only lasts until Congress can call an emergency session to confirm it? 48 hours should be long enough in a real emergency. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, Congress met the next day and declared war before lunch.

The State of the Union Revealed a Sad Reality Donald Trump misused the annual presidential tradition in ways so radical as to call the ritual itself into question.

@davidfrum.bsky.social on the state of the union address. A reminder that the opportunity is a privilege, which Congress can retract. Best I've seen on this farce. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Hey.

Tell people when they do good job.

When you like the stuff they make.

When you like the characters they’ve created.

The stories they’ve told.

Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time.

Trust. They don’t.

Tell. Them.

The first half of the speech was designed to get pundits to grade Trump on a curve (wow, he's talking about the economy! he's pivoting!), but the second half is where the real action is, shoring up the collapsing base

Angine de Poitrine - a driving microtonal math rock riot | David Emmett

I have become so obsessed with Angine de Poitrine that I decided to write about them on my personal blog. About their technical brilliance, the ingenious construction of their music, and how not seeing their faces makes the music better

This is the most important thing happening in the world right now.

Trump and Hegseth want killer drones + mass surveillance of Americans.

Anthropic refuses to build it. While most tech companies fall in line, they are prepared to pay the price for their principles.

To my mind, maintenance is like logistics. Something you never think about until it fails, then you realise like 90% of the modern world relies on it and it is actually one of the most important things in the world

Trump’s reckless tariffs cost the American people more than $130 billion over the past year. He took money from your pockets, the Supreme Court said it was illegal, and now he wants to keep it.

The American people deserve a refund now.

It’s completely bizarre and ominous β€” it has placed hearsay, essentially, at the center of the platform in a sticky way. I’ve never seen anything like it online. It’s reminiscent of a class where nobody has done the reading but instead of ending, it just persists, topic after topic, day after day.

Playing the percentages, I would say that they were lying then, lying now, and lying every moment of every day between then and now.

And they'll lie every moment of every day about everything until Congress does its job and stops them.

Trump, July 19: "All three nuclear sites in Iran were completely destroyed and/or OBLITERATED. It would take years to bring them back into service."

Witkoff, Sunday: "They're probably a week away from having industrial-grade bomb-making material."
