DOOCY: Deporting American citizens to Central American prisons -- is it legal?

LEAVITT: Well, it's another question that the president has raised. It's a legal question that the president is looking into.

a lot of people think you need a lot of money to buy clothes. now you're right. ok. my bad.

The Biggest Scandal of the Second Trump Term Isn’t “Signalgate” The national-security chat debacle certainly merits attention. But the Trump administration is now blatantly disappearing students and others who are in the country legally.

It sounds like something from a lawless or dictatorial foreign country, but it's happening here: Masked men are snatching students off the street and shipping them to far-flung detention centers.

Right-wing YouTuber Tim Pool has made it to the White House pool — someone from his “Timcast” channel will be part of today’s pool duty covering the president.

Last year, DOJ revealed Pool was receiving millions of dollars from the Russian gov. Pool says he didn’t know where it was coming from.

New York Times: Signal Chat Leak Angers U.S. Military Pilots. Men and women who have taken to the air on behalf of the United States expressed bewilderment after the leak of attack plans. “You’re going to kill somebody,” one pilot said.

Pilot to Hegseth: "You’re going to kill somebody.”

For the safety of our troops, Hegseth has got to go.

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics.

Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

Ok I would HIGHLY recommend some proper cycling shorts and the chamois on the inside. 😉

Not sure if this is for spin or cycling but generally having a single layer with an integrated chamois is going to be a better option. No friction between things. Skin on the chamois … pretty sure that pic is inside out.

My least favorite gadget move is to buy the new hot thing and use it for two minutes just to sell it. Rather popular with cameras in particular.

Paramount+ is the most inconsistent app. Sometimes you can skip intro and recap but sometimes you can’t. Sometimes the next episode prompt shows at the end but sometimes you can’t even fast forward past the next episode few min trailer.

Would love to see fitness trends and discussions decouple from things that are specific to weight loss which is (sometimes) a benefit but should not be the primary goal.

Digital twins of human organs are here. They’re set to transform medical treatment. The models can be used to plan surgeries and in the future could be used to help trial new drugs.
