Nearly perfect summation of Trump 2.0, just missing the ‘tariff’ stamp.

Find you somebody who looks at you like Donald Trump looks at Zohran Mamdani.

This is America.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

I think she’s gonna do something, like sue you for everything you’ve got.

Or speculation about a health emergency

I don’t understand what I am seeing here other than life BEFORE we started mass immigration arrests and deportations. The “good ole days” were also when we had millions of undocumented immigrants living mostly peaceful and productive lives in the US.

“My friend got hit in the back… my friend Victor saved me, he laid on top of me…”

We are failing them.

Jerome Powell should announce tomorrow that the Fed cannot even think about lowering interest rates until the board of governors see stability against all outside interference is restored.

This.

He has kept among us in times of peace Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution & unacknowledged by our laws.

If the Democrats really want to get support for releasing the files, they should be shouting from the hilltops to NOT release the files. As soon as people think the Dems are hiding something, they’ll work twice as hard to see it.

I have never heard of lawyers being allowed anonymity, anywhere

WTF?

Illinois grad here. Andreesen's fortune is built on research funded by the NSF at the UIUC super computing lab (NCSA). So on top of the vile racism, he's a hypocrite.

Two weeks have passed since a Florida Highway Patrol officer arrested the Honduran immigrant client of Magdalena Cuprys of Cuprys & Associates. “He was stopped at a weigh station in Tampa because he owns a construction company, and he was required to stop for his truck to be weighed,” Cuprys told me. “The client had a valid Florida driver’s license. The patrol officer called Customs and Border Protection on him. The client called me, and the officer took the phone from him and spoke with me.” She asked why CBP was alerted. “I was advised that the client looked Hispanic, had a Hispanic name, and now they are collaborating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and CBP, and their orders are to call CBP any time they encounter anyone they suspect is an immigrant,” said Cuprys. “I asked if they would have followed the same process if it had been me driving, and the response was it depends if you look Hispanic.”

“It depends if you look Hispanic.”

to know the names of the children.”

Birds of a feather.

Meta thinks that creating semiautonomous chatbots that your followers can talk to instead of you is a good thing. As a bonus, you can talk to other people’s chatbots, too. Eventually the internet will be nothing more than computers selling products to other computers.

Pakistan plans to nominate Trump for Nobel Peace Prize Islamabad says Trump helped end recent fighting with India, but New Delhi denies he played any role.

"If this panders to Trump's ego, so be it. All the European leaders have been sucking up to him big time."
