Owning the libs.

An extract of an article in the New York Times. These are the opening paragraphs. They read: The children died one after the other. Twelve acutely malnourished infants living in one corner of Sudan's war-ravaged capital, Khartoum. Abdo, an 18-month-old boy, had been rushed to a clinic by his mother as he was dying. His ribs protruded from his withered body. The next day, a doctor laid him out on a blanket with a teddy bear motif, his eyes closed. Like the other 11 children, Abdo starved to death in the weeks after President Trump froze all U.S. foreign assistance, said local aid workers and a doctor. American-funded soup kitchens in Sudan, including the one near Abdo's house, had been the only lifelines for tens of thousands of people besieged by fighting. Bombs were falling. Gunfire was everywhere. Then, as the American money dried up, hundreds of soup kitchens closed in a matter of days. "It was catastrophic," said Duaa Tariq, an aid worker. The stark consequences of Mr. Trump's slashing of U.S. aid are evident in few places as clearly as in Sudan, where a brutal civil war has set off a staggering humanitarian catastrophe and left 25 million people - more than half of the country's population - acutely hungry.

Never forget that the richest man in the world chose to take food from the mouths of the world’s poorest children.

Burn in hell.

Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.

This from @jdcivicscience.bsky.social nails why small town, red America is not turning on Trump.

Facts don’t lie 🤷‍♀️

Looks like a Merit Badge to me…

Just as thought, Justices Alito & Thomas are the two that will give Trump anything he wants, they have sold their souls!

Several others on the bubble, but they pleasantly surprise sometimes…

congrats to Joni Ernst

144. The Supreme Court's Late-Night Alien Enemy Act Intervention Just before 1:00 a.m., the justices (aggressively) stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigation—in a decision suggesting that a majority understands that these are no longer normal circumstances.

An absolute must-read from @stevevladeck.bsky.social this morning:

“Just before 1:00 a.m., the justices (aggressively) stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigation—in a decision suggesting that a majority understands that these are no longer normal circumstances.”

Twenty Lessons, read by John Lithgow Key selections from On Tyranny, for viewing and sharing

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

Always great when the agency in “turmoil” is … {checks notes} … the United States Department of Defense.

Trump is claiming they sent the letter (on official letterhead) by mistake, blames Harvard for not realizing it🎪 🤡

Trump Officials Blame Mistake for Setting Off Confrontation With Harvard (Gift Article) An official on the administration’s antisemitism task force told the university that a letter of demands had been sent without authorization.

Ooops! Ooopsie! Did we do that? We didn't mean to do that. Definitely don't blame us for doing that.

Oops! Day one funding freeze
Oops! Ebola
Oops! Nuclear security workers
Oops! Bird flu
Oops! PEPFAR
Oops! HHS firings

And on and on and on...

Now this.

In a brief, unsigned order with no explanation, the justices wrote: “The government is directed not to remove any member of the putative class of detainees from the United States until further order of this court.”

Another low/no/mis information voter learns regret…

I’m a Soybean Farmer Who Voted for Trump. I’m Begging the President to End the Trade War. The tariffs on China could put us out of business by 2027. All our blood, sweat, and toil could vanish with the stroke of a pen.

Just. Imagine. 😎✨

Just trying to imagine a president prior to 2016 ordering the revocation of a network’s broadcast license.

The credibility of the US government is completely shot.

Gone.

Annihilated.

Nobody anywhere in the world can believe a single word that comes out of this Administration.

Ever.

We've heard concerning things about the Social Security Administration lately, so I decided to check for myself.

SSA says Wednesday is the best day to call, so I called then.

Their system told me there would be a two-hour wait time, told me to call back, and then just hung up.

Russian medical researcher at Harvard, who protested the Ukraine war, detained by ICE Kseniia Petrova's attorney said her previous arrest in Russia and social media activity "will almost certainly ensure a nice, hefty jail sentence for her" if she is deported back.

This is who we have become? Putin’s pigs! The Russian ASSet in the whitehouse is going full fascist.

Body Language:

This is the type of thing a man who has never had any *real* friends says.

The DEI purge at the Pentagon is White Supremacy.

The dismantling of the Dept of Education is Christian Nationalism.

The rampage by the kids in DOGE is just petty dumbfuckery.
