Fond of Flying Flags

BREAKING: Asked where he wants interest rates a year from now, Trump said:
“1% — maybe even lower.”

He also said the next Fed Chair should consult with him on interest rates.

This is a fundamental misunderstanding of monetary policy — and a direct threat to economic stability.

Trump sued by preservationists seeking architecture review over White House ballroom project President Donald Trump has been sued by preservationists seeking an architecture review and congressional approval over his White House ballroom project.

BOOM

I'm shocked they waited - but TBH, the number of laws broken at the WH is insane.....

The NTPH is not playing - someone had asked me months ago if that building was law protected - I said "absolutely - he's only using demo permits, which need no legal review"

Grr✊🏽

For the first time in decades, I handed my successor an air traffic controller workforce that was growing instead of shrinking.

Disturbingly, the Trump administration can't or won't say whether that’s still the case.

Listen, all I’m saying is that I’ve seen more pictures of Donald Trump partying with Jeffrey Epstein than I have of Donald Trump playing with his son Barron.

Dear lord, the guy had a digital passport card on him even. THEY IGNORED HIM WHEN HE TOLD THEM THIS. Layers of wrong here.

ICE Arrested A U.S. Citizen For 'Looking Like He's Somali,' Minneapolis Mayor Says Local leaders have increasingly raised concerns about racial profiling as ICE has descended on the Minneapolis area.

Every last ICE/J6er Agent needs to be charged, convicted then deported. They do not belong in America, they're the threat. I'm glad he spoke out. Nobody deserves that except the entire cabinet & they're lying prop spoxes.

They just don't want anyone traveling to the US for any reason at all

The assigned 1000 FBI agents to scrub the Epstein files and Bondi still can not release the files ....take all the time you need to think about that information.....

📌Jeffrey Epstein had the grotesque goods on many of the most powerful, underhanded, and morally busted lowlifes in the history of the world.
That we are also being asked to believe he committed suicide might be the most despicable, insulting thing of all to the victims of these sickening men.

From Greg Bovino's X account: One must carry immigration documents as per the INA. A Real ID is not an immigration document.

Here's Greg Bovino lying and saying the US citizen arrested by unidentified ICE agents in MN should have been carrying "immigrantion documents per the INA", which is FALSE.

The INA (Immigration and Nationality Act) does NOT require U.S. citizens to carry proof of citizenship.

Trump Administration Moves to Exclude Nursing From Professional Degrees, Set New Student Loan Limits The proposal has drawn pushback from the nursing community, which argues the reclassification could limit students’ financial access to advanced nursing degrees.

Disrespectful and insulting.

According to Donald Trump, nursing isn't a professional degree.

The bottom line? The entire nation, including Illinois, needs more nurses — this decision makes it even harder than ever for them to get the support they need.

Rep. Robert Garcia, House Oversight Committee said that they will demand that Trump release the files. They put out 19 photos today and the ones that haven’t been released yet, are more disturbing. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Justice Department Again Fails to Re-Indict New York Attorney General Letitia James A grand jury declined for a second time to re-indict New York Attorney General Letitia James on Thursday, a case pushed by President Donald Trump.

The failure to re-indict Letitia James is another blow to the Justice Department after the dismissal of earlier charges against James and another Trump foe, former FBI Director James Comey, in a stunning rebuke of the Trump administration’s efforts to prosecute the president’s political opponents.

The question is, though, who will enforce those criminal provisions. Because somehow I don’t see Pam Bondi looking to indict herself

We are not letting this Epstein disgrace go away! You have a sexual predator in the WH.
The survivors deserve justice.
The public deserves answers.
The predators deserve consequences.

Support survivors, not predators & accomplices.

So great. What Trump is doing to the White House is incredibly illegal and wrong, and it needs to stop.

Goal here should be to force him to restore the East Wing not build a gilded ballroom.

Plaintiffs in the Alien Enemies Act Contempt Proceedings File a Blistering Response The government wants to block testimony from a DOJ lawyer and whistleblower Erez Reuveni next week because they’re trying to protect Emil Bove. The plaintiffs respond.

Was I up until 1 AM writing this? Yes. Was it worth it? Yes. Judge Boasberg just ruled in favor of the plaintiffs. Testimony from Reuveni and Ensign WILL GO FORWARD next week barring intervention from a higher court. www.muellershewrote.com/p/plaintiffs...

SCOTUS even said outright they could arrest people based on skin color alone. They aren’t even hiding their Nazism anymore 🤷🇺🇸

Judge Orders Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s ‘Immediate Release’ From ICE Custody Months After His Return From El Salvador District Court Judge Paula Xinis ruled that Abrego Garcia was “re-detained” by ICE “without lawful authority” after his return from El Salvador.

“He is not unstoppable and you are not without power”

Remind yourself of this every day.

Especially on the bad days.

Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

National preservation group sues to halt East Wing ballroom construction The National Trust for Historic Preservation argues the Trump administration must seek congressional approval and consult federal commissions and the public before work continues.

I'm sure this will put the East Wing back up.

I am no longer surprised at who took photos with Epstein.

We know these asshats were part of his circle.

Bannon. Gates. Allen. Clinton.

Trump.

I am disappointed in seeing Richard Branson with Esptein. Same as I was about Noam Chomsky.

But this all isn't news anymore.

We saw this before.
...

Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's flailing on the economy. Epstein haunts him. Republicans are beginning to revolt against him.

He's not all powerful.

A tyrant can exercise tyranny only insofar as the objects of his tyranny continue to allow it.

Remember this.

Everyday Americans get nickel and dimed while the rich dodge taxes.

They struggle to get by while the wealth of the 1% skyrockets.

They see their voices drowned out while the well-connected avoid accountability.

There are two sets of rules in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.

If the photos are too gross to release, they need to be described.
