On Friday, Trump asked SCOTUS to let him invade Chicago, relying on declarations already deemed unreliable, to disprove Chicago's claim it was abt animus.
On Saturday, he posted AI slop showing him dropping shit on America.
On Sunday, he bombed SoCal.

A warning over a highway near Interstate 5 in Los Angeles that reads “live weapons over freeway”

We just live in a john carpenter movie now.

The Trump admin has managed to develop a tariff policy that does all of the bad things of tariffs (increase cost, discourage investment, disrupt supply chains) without any of the hypothetical benefits (revenue, domestic protectionism)

The Trump WH spent all weekend ripping Gavin Newsom for being concerned that this stunt by Hegseth and Vance could endanger people driving on one of the busiest highways in America. These idiots are going to get people killed.

BREAKING: Live munitions from a Trump-Vance “military demo” flew over I-5 and struck a CHP vehicle. The White House wanted the highway open—but Gov. Newsom shut it down for safety. That decision likely prevented injuries or worse.

We have obtained these photos:

the NYT decides on its narratives and really, really has a hard time adjusting coverage to reality. it was the biggest pusher of 'resistance is dead', reflecting the general desire among the US establishment for Trump to be a punitive force against their critics. #nokings doesn't fit its story

What episode had the right image?

Trump posts wild AI video showing him flying fighter jet, dropping sewage on No Kings protesters

Well, well, if it isn't the NY Post telling the truth here.

😣😣😣😣😣

He’s right!

Q: "Trump authorized military strikes...in the Caribbean. 20 people have been killed in six different strikes. Do you believe these strikes are legal?"

Sen. Rand Paul:" "No...These people have been blown up without us knowing their name or any evidence of a crime."

Second "No Kings Day" protests the largest single-day political protest ever*, with 5.2-8.2 million participants Here are the initial results from our crowdsourced crowd-counting estimates

“Largest single-day protest in American history.” Roughly 2% of the population rose up to demand the restoration of democracy. So powerful.

Look, the Times was obviously unable to confirm at time of publication what the brown liquid that looked like diarrhea and that appeared to have been dumped from an AI-generated jet fighter by the president of United was intended to represent in his mind.

This may be the only time he's ever defended the prerogatives of Congress against Trump and was almost certainly an accident

Don’t let the frogwater that’s boiling us alive let you skip over this: we murdered another country’s citizens in cold blood, and when their leader objected, we called him a drug dealer and cut off aid to his country. That’s freakish.

Mike Johnson: "We're fighting for healthcare as well. Not just in word but in deed. We put in the one big beautiful bill, real reforms to Medicaid to make it work better."

(The bill in fact cuts nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid.)

This is what I’m against: a President who shows nothing but the most vile contempt for anyone who doesn’t worship him.

Gibson assumes technology will become unevenly distributed, but ultimately modernity will continue.

Stephenson predicts modernity will become much less evenly distributed. This ironically makes Gibson a much more optimistic author.

We are currently in a Stephenson novel.

This is incidentally why you don't turn a used jet from Qatar as Air Force 1

they teach, specifically, that a husband must rape his wife and that sex within a marriage which is not rape is a sin

a lot of people have written about the slavery apologism in Doug Wilson's church but not a lot of people have written about the horrific sexual abuse

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

WOW! Protesters created a HUGE human sign on San Francisco’s Ocean Beach reading “No Kings YES on 50” to support California’s Prop 50 and stand up against Donald Trump’s fascist regime

We know who truly despises the ideals of our Constitution and Bill of Rights, and the ideals of democracy. It is Trump and his minions.

Trump explicitly states he set Santos free because he votes Republican.

Right. You'd have to have an amendment that said "Women have a right to get abortions and we really mean it" and then you'd probably have several dissents

Maybe, or at least the lidless eye turns on Bluesky and all its funders and the funding dries up. Similar result.

Or at a minimum they start getting targeted *as do investors*.

The speed and consistency with which law enforcement will lie about incidents of police violence should be taught in every journalism school on day one

Good for UVA.

Dartmouth leadership, now's your chance to be legends.
