To recap: Trump is spending money Congress never appropriated to pay federal employees with guns, and cutting programs and grants even when Congress has appropriated funds.
They literally have a contingency fund for SNAP that they are refusing to use.
No Speaker has done more to weaken Congress.

This might be the dumbest thing I've ever heard

i strongly encourage the white house to make vance the face of their shutdown defense, i cannot think of a better man for the job, this defense is flawlessly persuasive, keep it up

Trump Says He Won’t Rule Out Third Reich

Trump Says He Won’t Rule Out Third Reich

A thing the Founders knew, that we've all largely forgotten, is that you actively WANT to be the one paying your governors, judges... and ESPECIALLY your soldiers

using illegal and unconstitutional accounting gimmicks to keep paying the military so that you can deploy them to launch illegal and undeclared wars in colombia and venezuela while the rest of the government remains shut down is getting pretty close to the Very Bad scenarios

The carceral state is generally brutal and evil in the way it treats the human beings it cages, but it’s fine to point out when there are bursts of unusually concentrated or vigorous evil and use it to get people to care.

Image of the mechanical ladder outside the Louvre Text below says WENN'S MAL WIEDER SCHNELL GEHEN MUSS (When you need to move fast) Underneath is more German text which translates as "The Böcker Agilo transports your treasures weighing up to 400kg at 42m/min - quiet as a whisper."

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast'

This enrages me. Honestly, you should just roll up the paper, throw it in the trash can, and join the White House Office of Communications if this is what you’re going to do these days.

When Trump hears what Ronald Reagan said about immigrants he’s going to have DOJ arrest him for mortgage fraud.

approximately seven million people were out in the streets protesting last week. these people need to grow a spine. www.ft.com/content/1377...

I cannot make this clear enough.

I have not stayed silent. Others, who face far greater and graver threats than me, have not stayed silent. There are plenty who are standing up, from everyday Americans to the expert "elites".

Those who are caving shall be shamed for all time.

Elon Musk: Tesla is dominating "real world AI"

Tesla's "real world AI": train, bus, it's all the same, none of this matters

Too bad the East Wing didn’t have any memorials to traitorous confederate generals because then it may have been spared in the name of preserving history. 🙄

So, how have the contractors for this been vetted for clearance? Who has handled the screening?

Can't help but think that foreign intelligence agencies are looking into ways of taking advantage of the demolition and construction in any number of ways.

Who are the private donors funding the disgusting demolition of the East Wing of the people's house for Trump's $250M gilded ballroom?

wake up babe, new Ouroboros just dropped

They fucked up the demolition by not doing the proper due diligence and to cover that up, they are tearing it all down.

ngl if i had colin jost or pete davidson money, i could absolutely get myself into this kind of idiotic trouble

I log off for one day, one single day, and the Louvre gets god tier heisted and the president of the USA starts bulldozing the White House

Metaphor alert

He murdered a Colombian citizen in violation of domestic and international law. He’s now promising to illegally impose tariffs on Colombia because its president had the temerity to publicly criticize him for murdering one of that country’s citizens.

Yes, we are the baddies.

Good morning from a crisp, sunny North East England.

Quite a contrast from this day two years ago, where this was the scene just a few miles from home.

Porcelain fungi, seen from below. Background is green and yellow blurs.

Can't stop taking (and posting) photos of porcelain fungi and fly agaric mushrooms! First up is the porcelain one.

A lone crimson Dahlia trimmed in white stands tall after hours of rain!

Not even the rain could bend her 📷🌱 …

Some folks were worried that they'd sic thugs on the protestors or declare martial law. Instead they posted AI videos and complained.

These people have no juice. Their supporters are cowards. They are are all bark and no bite. They collapse when we push back. Remember that.

They think that they have a permanent hold on public sentiment. But a would-be autocracy cannot meme its way into permanent power. I’m genuinely baffled by their hubris until I remember that our enemies are also fools.

So no terrorism then?

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking?
