His take? "Rules, schmules, they don't apply to me!"

Democrats take legal aim at 'the Radical Left' language during shutdown Democrats and a federal union argue that Trump administration language posted on federal agency websites and some emails blaming a shutdown on the "Radical Left Democrats" violates a 1939 federal law.

I'll be just as respectful as he has been about the J6 casualties.

How is this not child endangerment, and why are those officers not charged?

No matter what this Administration tells the American people, the law is very clear: Members of Congress have a legal right to enter any DHS detention facility to conduct oversight without prior notice - something Iโ€™ve done twice this year without issue.

Sure, make up those situations where someone could get hurt. What about the situations where people are actually IN those swasticars when they blow up of their own accord?

): "Fair question." Below, a post by Mike Rothschild (@rothschildmd
) reads: "The US is scheduled to co-host the World Cup in 2026 and the Olympics in 2028. Why would thousands of international athletes and millions of fans from around the world come to a country where tourists, asylum seekers, and visa holders are being disappeared to foreign prisons?" Both accounts have blue checkmarks. Rothschild's profile picture shows a person in a suit.

Would anyone blame them if they said โ€œhell noโ€ to that?

@lukelukeluke.bsky.social your mushroom photos were the first thing I saw on Bluesky and they are what convinced me to give the app a try. :)

Itโ€™s no surprise that Trump is reshaping the FTC, an agency thatโ€™s been looking at his close ties to billionaires. Corporations see the FTCโ€™s cases as an attack on US enterprise, but antitrust law is vital for healthy democracy. Fmr. FTC Chair @linamkhan.bsky.social joins me @ 11aET #Velshi

Millions of Americans โ€” especially seniors, small businesses, and rural communities โ€” rely daily on USPS's affordable rates and universal service.

Privatization would make the mail more expensive and less reliable โ€” all to enrich the billionaire class.

We cannot let it happen.

Trump chose DeJoy, who was a big campaign donor, and he also hand-picked the postal board of governors, which voted him in. If it smells like installation, it's installation.

DeJoy has been chipping away at USPS ever since Felonious Orange installed him.

I "discussed" this with someone yesterday who insisted children's lives will not be affected. Of course, we was an upper middle class white male who thinks RFK Jr has common sense.

A lot of the โ€œachievementsโ€ of western civilization actually kind of suck but one thing that definitely does not suck is how half our children donโ€™t die anymore

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

FEMA cancels firefighter training amid uncertainty over Trump cuts FEMA said it was canceling National Fire Academy courses as it ensures its programs and budget fit Trump administration priorities.

The Trump Administration just canceled training for firefighters, right before wildfire season.

The National Fire Academy trains about 100,000 people every year โ€” and is a critical resource for smaller fire departments and volunteers across the country.
