Trump Is Very Confused About Nuclear Weapons The president says he wants to resume nuclear testing but doesn’t seem to know why.

I read it all. @radiofreetom.bsky.social put scariest part at the top: "In the space of one short announcement, he managed to get a lot wrong, which is worrisome, because he’s the only person in America who has the authority to order the use of nuclear arms." 🎁

I’m sorry, if someone has a birth certificate that proves they were born here but a mobile app with face recognition software disagrees, they will side with the app?

What?

I’m not going to take the turkey out of the freezer until it’s defrosted.

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn’t from “Star Wars,” “Star Trek,” “Doctor Who,” or “Transformers.”

The residents of South Carerddd always work with enthusiasm. They never sit on the grass in parks. They stay away from the Hanky-Panky Club in North Carerdddd, where people listen to wild jazz. They know that happiness is to sit by the Great Carerdddd Sea and build hydroelectric power stations.

The most astonishing thing is that he was still able to unload his .jpg for five figures. What, exactly, is THAT rube thinking?

Except your arch-nemesis opossum-man.

A poor person might try to have a plan, but the future is an abstraction they can't afford to make concrete.

Once things get settled, I'll be able to ___

Honestly at some point you have to start doing psyops with these people:

Have Obama announce that he will seek a third term tomorrow. Then watch all the con law “scholars” and Fix News MELT DOWN trying to explain why he can’t but Trump can. (It’s like Newsom taking over his social media persona)

“A tiger, an elephant, a giraffe…”

New from me on @lawfaremedia.org: how Trump violated the law to pay the military.

It's a long piece that goes into why it's illegal (with helpful analogies), what other abuses this unlocks if you believe presidents should have this power, what recourse there is, etc.

Health-Check: Pink's Hot Dogs (Los Angeles, CA) Sometimes we get into comfortable patterns. Much earlier in my career, I had project assignments that had me visiting Edwards AFB frequently, and for a variety of logistical reasons it was far easier...

Been to all 20. Been to 9 of them this year.

Some I love. Some I don’t. All of them have neat things to do and people to meet.

More funding went to ICE than the US Marine Corps. Oh- and ICE is getting paid right now but the MARINES are NOT. You know- ICE where they can’t pass fitness tests or open book tests.

I need to say this. The fascist PRETEND they don't know who receives SNAP in the U.S. They actually do know and they lie because they need to paint an alternate reality of who is "benefiting"

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

I’ve just been to the world’s worst planetarium.

One star.

A Trump presidency? Job One: a high-rise White House we can be proud of.

you'd think "don't actively praise the fascists for doing fascism" would be an easy bar to clear

A promoted reddit post, ie an ad from Kalshi which I guess is like Polymarket The post text urges the reader to claim their free Kalshi account to bet on the next US presidential election winner. The odds are currently JD Vance at 33% and you can bet yes on him for 33¢ and no for 69¢. Gavin Newsom is at 22% and it's 22¢ to bet yes and 80¢ to bet no. Trump is at 8% and it's 9¢ to bet yes he will win the next presidential election and 92¢ to bet no he will not

I can't believe professional athletes would risk it all to win a little money gambling, that's so corrupt of them, anyhow who wants to bet on the 2028 US presidential election which includes a guy who cannot legally run for president again but apparently is to the point where he already has merch

What’s the difference between the White House and a KFC bucket?

The KFC bucket has more than one wing.
