Look who’s missing from this photo.

Hint: The Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas. 😂

Trump’s Shield of the Americas event at Doral didn’t have that many chairs set up. It was a small event.

The problem with today's snowflake youth is that they demand participation trophies when really they just flat out lost.

by Kristi Noem, Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas

Congrats, Steve.

The self-proclaimed acting CEO of USAGM, Kari Lake, calls Judge Lamberth's ruling "bogus" and accuses the conservative Reagan appointee of having "a pattern of activist rulings — and this case is no different. We strongly disagree with this decision and will appeal."

This is a major victory for those suing Kari Lake and USAGM, coming a year after the ruthless destruction of the Voice of America, a beacon of US public diplomacy as an independent broadcaster in nearly 50 languages. Only a façade remains in a few languages, pumping out administration propaganda.

A federal judge in DC rules that Kari Lake was not lawfully appointed and that actions she took as the claimed head of USAGM "shall have no force or effect," including last August's RIFs at the Voice of America.

It's a sign of the times that AI companies are deciding whether or not to allow the military to engage in mass surveillance of US citizens and this is treated as a legitimate debate of two reasonable positions.

Today, six heroes return home from the first week of the war in Iran. While their families gather for the dignified transfer at Dover, the White House flag remains at full staff. Apparently, honoring the fallen doesn’t fit the "optics" this administration wants to project. #Honorthefallen #IranWar

The orange felon seen saluting the US soldiers he sent to death in an illegal war that no-one wanted and that Congress did not approve. In act of entirely expected disrespect, he is wearing a white baseball cap with USA in gold lettering on it. In the foreground soldiers carry a coffin. To the right is JD Vance (who has said virtually nothing since Trump started slaughtering schoolgirls). Cunts both.

Take the hat off you disrespectful bastard.

1. Six U.S. Army Reserve soldiers killed in an Islamic Republic drone strike in Kuwait — retaliation following U.S. and Israeli strikes inside Iran — returned home today.

Their flag-draped coffins arrived at Dover, where POTUS, FLOTUS, Vice-President, and Second Lady attended the dignified transfer

He wore a FUCKING BASEBALL HAT to Dover!!!

Trump says “we’ve already won” the war on the same day he says he’s “sure” he’ll be making more visits to Dover to meet caskets of U.S. soldiers

It was an honor to pay tribute to Sergeant First Class Amor at the dignified transfer at Dover Air Force Base alongside her loving family.

She was the best of America and the best of Minnesota and we will always remember her as the incredible soldier, wife, and mother she was.

So… how do we feel about Trump wearing a baseball cap to receive soldiers’ remains at Dover AFB today

All those Obama tan suit whiners are mighty quiet about Donald Trump wearing a white baseball hat to Dover for the dignified transfer of our slain service members.

🦗

We don’t need talkers right now. We need fighters.

And no matter how many times they knock me down, I’ll get back up and fight with you. Every. Single. Time.

Going all out on the fake job thing

Yes they do

BREAKING: Judge rules Kari Lake's appointment was ILLEGAL for many months & a bunch of her actions are void

We & great partners win again!

H/t to my @democracydefendersfund.org colleagues plus AFSCME, AFGE, Emery Celli, Democracy Forward & more. Wow, just wow.

$50m in battery storage lost here bc we mentioned resilience for disadvantaged communities 👊🏼

As evidence, the filing notes a list Mr. Fox compiled of what he called the "craziest" and "other bad" grants, which he planned to highlight on DOGE's X account. He used three dozen keywords, including "L.G.B.T.Q.""BIPOC," "tribal, "ethnicity," "gender," "equality," "immigration "citizenship" and "melting pot." (A majority of the two dozen grants deemed "craziest" related to L.G.B.T.Q. subjects.) In the deposition, Mr. Fox said the list reflected his "subjective" judgment about whether a grant might be out of line with Mr. Trump's executive order. "Crazy' is one way of saying it," he said. "Most incriminating' is another way."

Why did I think they simply canceled all of them. Nope it was discriminatory

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

At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

This guy should sign up to go fight in Iran.

Trump saluting a flag-draped casket carried by soldiers, wearing his standard ill fitting suit and a white baseball hat that says USA in gold letters visible from space

I think it's great that the president put on his most solemnly branded baseball cap to receive the returning coffins of soldiers killed in the unnecessary war he launched to distract from his failing presidency and pedophilia scandal.

Look at that gold-like letting. Classy as shit.

Trump multiple times just today has said the country is at war. War can only be declared by Congress, and Iran posed no imminent threat. What Trump is doing there is a textbook illegal war and impeachable offense — if we still had a Congress.

People got real mad at Biden for looking at his watch during a dignified transfer.

Looking forward to the same outrage at Trump for wearing a fucking hat
