Microsoft isn't demanding these post be taken down cause Microsoft is fine with them. Microsoft donated to the White House demolition fund. @mjgault.bsky.social reached out multiple times to Microsoft for comment in his 404 piece about it and they declined to comment. That is tacit consent.

Tomlinson: Political connections appear to help with state contracts State contractors give millions to Gov. Greg Abbott, creating a perception of corruption that most states and the federal government do not allow.

Yeah, the difference is that Nazis really exist. (Like right now.)

Leavitt emphasized the president has unquestionable authority to alter the premises however he desires, repeatedly leaning on a legal precedent she failed to name. trib.al/a5edvxJ

Trump's team is flagrantly ignoring the fact that any significant project requires congressional approval.

The UK's King Charles hasn't destroyed an entire wing of Buckingham Palace or tried to shake the government down for an extra $230,000,000—because he knows he lacks the authority. AND HE'S A REAL KING.

We don’t even have healthcare or a system to care for children till they’re 5

The Netherlands finished burying all of its telecom and low/medium voltage power lines more than 20 years ago. When you look out at a Dutch street your view is not obstructed by overhead crap. Why is America still a primitive mess and why aren’t Americans even trying to fix it

GOP state senators in North Carolina have answered Trump's plea to gerrymander congressional maps to maintain their U.S. House majority in 2026. The redistricting—if adopted, as expected, by the state House—would oust one of the state’s three Black members of Congress. trib.al/Q6k4hGE

One of Apple’s best products gets better.

VARNEY: Trump announced all trade talks with Canada have been cut off because of a fake ad showing Reagan badmouthing tariffs.

HASSETT: The president I'm sure has his reasons. Sometimes when you're frustrated a timeout is the right call. It's probably a good time to take a break.

Trump likely to name White House ballroom after himself, officials say Trump has not publicly said what he intends to name the ballroom, but officials say it's already being referred to as "The President Donald J. Trump Ballroom."

While President Trump’s administration has moved to gut essential nutrition assistance for Americans, the Department of Homeland Security has managed to scrounge up a whopping $10 billion to build immigration detention facilities—and they’re using the U.S. Navy to do it. trib.al/Tr4cDvo

Bluesky has a reputation for being humorless but

a) I would rather it be humorless than filled with Nazis

b) I will just "mute for everyone" the especially humorless replies to my posts anyway

He sends them into blue cities, he uses them to blow up what he claims are drug-running boats in international waters—and now he pays them, he says, on his own authority. This is a dangerous argument that the troops work not for us but for him. www.thebulwark.com/p/time-to-sh...

Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for "seditious conspiracy" and says, "to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony."

U.S. politics inches closer to the point of being determined by those most willing and able to use armed force

"UC warned that releasing the proposal would cause “irreparable harm” to its negotiations with Trump."

Yes but Trump cannot commit a crime while in office.

As a federal employee, I am well aware that the federal government cannot accept donations directly from private citizens. This is grossly illegal.

The total daily pay for all active-duty military is approximately $210 million per day. This (fictitious) check would cover roughly half a day’s pay.

Trump: "By the way, a friend of mine called us the other day and he said 'I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have because of the Democrat shutdown. I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have with the military.' Today, he sent us a check for $130 million. It's gonna go the military."

will there be any followup to this fascinating story by the president of the united states that a friend of his sent him a check for $130 million dollars and the president is going to give the money to the military because i for one am fascinated about the details tbh
