The political culture of the contemporary GOP is indistinguishable from that of the school shooter community

Time to brew another pot of black coffee.
At least four other false flagged vessels are indicating that they are en route to transit the Danish straits.
Two of them: FINA A and TAGOR, could potentially go through Øresund (based on draught), and be welcomed by the Swedes.
"Silicon Valley is buzzing about this new idea: AI compute as compensation"
Of course they are. "AI" people are Blockchain people and they'd love to force people into money that _they_ control

It appears that Trump's OMB illegally sold off NCAR's space weather program to the for-profit company Lynker in January, before NSF publicly requested bids in a Dear Colleague Letter with a deadline of tomorrow.
Days before Trump ordered U.S. Central Command to initiate Operation Epic Fury, FBI Director Kash Patel reportedly fired a dozen agents, analysts, and staff tasked with monitoring threats from Iran.
Epically disastrous for higher education. Maybe something that the country's leading university presidents wanted to bother speaking up, loudly & collectively about, at any point in the past 15 months 🤷♂️
it’s completely fucking insane that the *treasury secretary* is out here pretending to give military briefings, and in a normal administration, he’d get fired for this
I’ve said this before, I’ll say it again — if there’s ONE video everyone out there should send to their city councillors and mayor with a request to watch it and reply back with how their city policies and approaches are addressing it, it’s THIS video.
NEW: A sharp warning in an ordinary news release: "President Trump’s Justice Department.”
Attorney General Pam Bondi has made clear since day one her view that DOJ's lawyers are "his lawyers." On Thursday, DOJ went further, claiming it's "Trump's Justice Department."
Today, at Law Dork:
Lawyer: You don't regret that people might have lost income?
Cavanaugh (DOGE): No, I think it was more important to reduce the federal deficit from two trillion dollars to close to zero.
Lawyer: Did you reduce the federal deficit?
Cavanaugh: No, we didn't.
The Trump administration could really restore confidence by getting the entire Cabinet to ride a tanker through the Straits of Hormuz to show everyone how safe and easy it is now.
They could bring along a lot of MAGA influencers and Fox News hosts to broadcast it all live!
Elon Musk is now worth $845 billion.
Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025.
Meanwhile, nearly a quarter of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high.
See the problem here?
Solutions to get oil out of the Persian Gulf, wrong answers only
And meanwhile: “Officials in Westchester County are warning residents after a series of attacks by a coyote who has since tested positive for rabies.
Residents in Eastchester and Bronxville are urged to stay alert after the rabid coyote attacked six dogs and three people on Monday.”
One of those things you learned about in medical school but didn't think you'd ever hear about again after the Step exams
So to summarise: You failed to take out the regime. You failed to destroy nuclear material. You failed to eradicate Iran's retaliatory capacity. You brought chaos to the Middle East. You killed god knows how many people. You destabilised your own economy. All for nothing, but the ego of madman.
$11.3 billion could cover any of the following for a full year:
-1.4 million people on Medicaid
-19 million kids getting free school lunches
-1.4 million people getting affordable housing
-1.1 million hungry seniors fed
-0.8 million children given free child care

Confirmed ICE sightings at the Ambler (R5) train station in MontCo this morning. Please stay safe. 🔔
This is a captive population with documented care concerns in a system that's grown incredibly fast. The deaths are not anomalies, they're a consequence of scale without accountability. More at austinkocher.substack.com
I'm not sure you phrased that how you intended.

ICE confirms that the infamous Camp East Montana will NOT be shut down. Instead, they're giving the contract wholly to Amentum, previously the subcontractor for Acquisition Logistics, the tiny VA military contractor which inexplicably got a $1.2 billion contract.

Another way to make this point:
Every time an American decides to ride Amtrak instead of drive a car, the US transportation network gets a little safer.
NHTSA never says this, but they should.
