This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

It's so clearly untrue, even Hegseth won't go along with it.

A freak

It’s Wemby

Screenshot of my DOGE letter “Dr. Joseph Rezek Dear NEH Grantee, This letter provides notice that the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is terminating your federal grant (Grant Application No. FEL29509824) effective April 3, 2025, in accordance with the termination clause in your Grant Agreement. Your grant no longer effectuates the agency's needs and priorities and conditions of the Grant Agreement and is subject to termination due to several reasonable causes, as outlined in 2CFR§200.340. For instance, NEH has reasonable cause to terminate your grant in light of the fact that the NEH is repurposing its funding allocations in a new direction in furtherance of the President's agenda. The President's February 19, 2025 executive order mandates that the NEH eliminate all non-statutorily required activities and functions. See Commencing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy, E.O. 14217 (Feb. 19, 2025). Your grant's immediate termination is necessary to safeguard the interests of the federal government, including its fiscal priorities. Any objections or appeals to this termination will be managed in strict accordance with the President's Executive Orders,

Last year, this guy (left) from DOGE used ChatGPT to find NEH grants that were too “DEI” for Trump, and canceled them, including mine, as shown by the letter I received last April (right). Huge new NYT article on the back story link below

A knock on the window and a glimpse of America’s surveillance future “This is taking a big and very scary step toward a kind of totalitarian checkpoint society,” a privacy advocate warns in a special France 24–Mother Jones report.

License plate readers. Cellphone location data. Social media monitoring. Now, real-time facial recognition on the street.

DHS is building a surveillance apparatus—and you're probably already in it.

Our latest with @france24.com:

An homage to a panel from the Achewood web comic. Phillipe, a young and eager otter, who is wearing a shirt and tie and a helmet for some reason, is happily singing a song to himself as follows: Born... in the USA! I went to school and I got an... A! I ate a hamburger and said hooray! Maybe it will happen today! The final line is obviously my addition. The art was redrawn by me and is not just a copy of the original panel. Done in black lines and halftone shading on a toned paper background. You do not need to trouble Chris Onstad about this.

Why was this story on the front page of the UK’s Daily Telegraph — but NOT America’s leading newspapers?

Crenshaw occasionally tried to speak to the conductor about the runaway train. But having bought a ticket, he was always reluctant to either jump off or do anything that would actually slow it down.

If he's really willing to get rid of Notre Dame, I think we should hear him out.

Bodycam video contradicts ICE claims in fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas Video of last year's fatal shooting of Ruben Ray Martinez obtained by CBS News appears to contradict claims that Martinez was shot by an ICE agent because he "accelerated" and "intentionally ran over"...

DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."

But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."

The slurs somehow have more agency than the Republicans.

The “NYT actually assigns agency to the people doing the thing” headline challenge remains unwon.

Fox is a different kinda dude. Wish it was the norm but it isn’t.

De'Aaron Fox's scoring is down, but he's earning his $229 million. Here's how. No longer tasked with carrying a lottery team in Sacramento, Fox has traded some point scoring for a lot more winning with the Spurs as he continues to jell with Victor Wembanyama.

De'Aaron Fox is still the guy who dropped 60 points in a game last season. In San Antonio, he doesn't have to be.

How the All-Star guard has traded high point totals for higher win totals, and is earning every penny of his $229 million along the way:

BREAKING: The increase in the average U.S. gas prices over the last 7 days is now in the top 10 largest weekly increases ever recorded at 41.6c/gal, according to live GasBuddy data

To be fair, he might instead be doing this as National Security Advisor….

Marco Rubio is just Smithers from the Simpsons at this point.

So true. International war is so much simpler than What If Some Colleges Can’t Afford To Pay Athletes As Much As Other Colleges

Russia trying to kill Americans is just so ho-hum.

One million percent. Access junkies that don't understand technology AT ALL were easily snowed by hucksters. Silicon Valley used to make cool shit but once "the internet" blew up, big papers and pubs hired dopes who could write flowery sentences but didn't know jack shit to cover the scene

Wemby and Fox this time. Just such a deep squad. The NBA was too big for Carter Bryant for like 3 weeks and now the kid just out there having a blast.

Castle better be first team all defense.

It takes real galaxy brains to mass cancel solar and wind projects and then start a pointless unpopular war that sends oil prices soaring.

Gullible people aren’t just a Twitter feature

These are the 4 things AI can do well:

•Clean up your email inbox (badly)
•Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party
•Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself
•Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday

You can see why we need to base our economy around it

They have a word for those

Maybe this is just me, but I kind of think massive military operations, in which we're demanding unconditional surrender as the outcome, probably should be authorized by Congress.

Ben Stiller calls out the White House for using 'Tropic Thunder' clips in a war video

"We never gave you permission and have no interest in being a part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie"

Look at the date on this one. Signs were there all over the place, huh

It was large-scale data theft; nothing more.

The use of AI targeting is already a controversy regarding Israel in Gaza, and is going to be an important question in this war.
