Trump says he's placing DC police under federal control and deploying National Guard.

The worst thing about this is that DC is merely a city. Not a state. It has no Representatives, Congressmembers, or governor to fight back. The mayor and the courts are the only line of defense for abuses of power like these.

P.S. The city of DC voted for Trump 6%. Harris 92%. Other parties 2%.

'Doddering old man': Trump’s Russia-Alaska blunder fuels concerns During his nearly 90-minute Monday morning press conference declaring an “emergency” and announcing that he is federalizing the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police force despite crime being at a 30-y...

“You know, I’m going to see Putin, I’m going to Russia on Friday,” Trump said, stressing “Putin” and “Russia.” But the President’s remark about going to “Russia” was incorrect. The meeting on Friday with Putin is scheduled to be in Alaska, not Russia.

“getting rid of the slums” was fucking rich coming from a former slumlord who’s trying to distract everyone—especially his imbecilic cult—from the fact that he allegedly raped children in luxury apartments, yachts, islands, and airplanes.

this is horrifying. I am in tears.

“A Cotillion of Divorcées” is going to be the name of my next band.

Thank you, Agnes van Rhijn.

The Memorial for our dear friend Nick Lion At The Copa NYC was filled with love, nostalgia and talent.

Good friends came together in his honor. What a night. Everyone was blinged out in Nick style.

So many heartfelt performances.

If you cannot go to the bathroom at work, you cannot go to work. If you cannot go to the bathroom at school, you cannot go to school. This effectively bans transgender people from a broad swath of public life in the UK

HBO’s Once Mocked Prestige Drama Just Aired Its Best Episode Yet HBO’s period drama has become … great?

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good.

I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

"We don't believe in erasing American history—we honor it," says the guy working for the government that mandated that the website for the Stonewall National Monument erase all mentions of the word "transgender."

i think it is hard for some people to really their heads around the reality that kennedy is staunchly anti-vaccine and thinks that people should suffer through disease and that those who die deserved it and that those who survive are a better order of human being

kennedy is going to kill a lot of people

Aaaand, here's another awesome opportunity for everyone to hate the Jews.

Paul Ingrassia (lawyer) - Wikipedia

The guy Trump picked to lead the office that’s now investigating Jack Smith:

— said Niki Haley is ineligible to be president
— has neo-Nazi ties
— was Andrew Tate’s lawyer
— 2x Claremont fellow
— wrote for Gateway Pundit
— called for Pence to be hanged
— called for secession after 2020 election

92-year-old Scottish widow Molly Forbes refused to sell her land to Trump for his golf course. In revenge, he blasted floodlights, ran loud machines nonstop, and cut her water and power. She never gave in — right up until her death at age 96.

The problem with classic movies is that too few of them frame the actors as tiny figures dwarfed by a Mac OS screensaver.

Ok that time may have just arrived
