Fascinating. Good to know! Too bad the dorm doors don’t have the Apple Key support so as to badge in with phone or watch

@siracusa.social your daughter should check out the Nomad MagSafe wallet. It fixes the difficulty getting the cards out and has find my.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

Al gore is pissed off and I’m here for it

It’s like Watergate, only in this version Nixon directly mails the tapes to Woodward and Bernstein

Bernie Sanders, AOC, and Greg Casar on stage in Tucson in front a crowd of 23,000 people.

Tucson, Arizona today.

Original projected attendance was 3,000 people.

23,000 showed up.

Sanders: Does anybody think it makes sense that we have a campaign finance system where one man (Musk) can put $270 million to get Trump elected and then his reward is that he becomes the most powerful person in government?

That is not democracy. That is oligarchy.

So far it’s 3 firms and none of them are the “big” (and most powerful) firms.

If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

Trump: "We have a lot of law firms that we're going to be going after, because they were very dishonest people. They were very, very dishonest. We have a lot of law firms that we're going after."

I know people who have done extensive research on this topic and this claim is categorically false. Majority of the fent that comes comes through China —> usps —> Mexico and then smuggled back using deminimus loophole

every single public facing person in this administration is just a different variation on baghdad bob

@karaswisher.bsky.social love your article in the Atlantic! Especially the comparison to Jobs. I’ve been saying this for years. Sad times we live in.

Normalizing racism was a major goal of the “free speech absolutist” movement and they’ve been wildly successful at their work.

HITTING THE DOCKET:

Judge Amy Berman Jackson rules that Trump illegally fired Hampton Dellinger, the Special Counsel of the Office of Special Counsel.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist.

He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

Dickless chode

On 15 March 1939 Hitler and his deputy summoned the Czech President to Hitler’s residence in Berlin and then bullied him to submitting to a German invasion of his country.
They drove him to the point of physical collapse, threatening him until he eventually signed his country’s death warrant.

You can make whatever campaign promises you want, but budgets don’t lie.

This is the middle-finger Trump gave to 99% of Americans tonight.

Donald Trump calling Zelenskyy a “dictator” is pure projection.

Late last night, with about 15 minutes notice to the Union, the NLRB’s HR sent an email adopting the terms of the forked-up resignation scam. HR also provided us a contract that appears to be drafted by AI or LegalZoom. As labor lawyers, we’re happy to go over this in detail. 🧵

1. Show up. Go to the places Musk is taking over, bring cameras, demand to find out what's going on and where it breaks the law.
2. Refuse to allow standard business to continue unimpeded. Deny unanimous consent, delay votes, etc.
3. Be public about how illegal all of this is
4. Lay out a plan

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Nothing he does is going to make groceries cheaper, shitheads.

Germany protesting

Nearly 250,000 people in Berlin showed up to protest fascism and the Musk backed AfD party.
