DOJ whistleblower Erez Reuveni says Emil Bove told him, 'those planes need to take off no matter what, and if some court should issue an order preventing that, we may have to consider telling that court 'fuck you.'

Reuveni: It is the highest, most egregious violation of the lawyer's code of ethics.

‘Instability and confusion’ as CDC slashes 1,300 jobs before reinstating half Trump administration says 700 notices were sent in error, while top CDC officer says ‘they didn’t think through what they were doing’

The entire HR department at the CDC is gone. Everyone at the IRB, which makes sure studies are conducted ethically and rigorously, and the ethics office, which oversee conflicts of interest for CDC leaders and advisory committee members, were also let go.

He murdered a Colombian citizen in violation of domestic and international law. He’s now promising to illegally impose tariffs on Colombia because its president had the temerity to publicly criticize him for murdering one of that country’s citizens.

Yes, we are the baddies.

I keep seeing ads for Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner on 60 Minutes tonight to discuss the "peace deal." Wonder if they'll update it with the news today that the ceasefire has been broken? "We taped this interview before the entire deal fell apart, but here it is anyhow..."

The NYT has really been a parody of itself over the past two days "Why we don't tell you how big the protests are any more", "JD Vance is flexing his muscles with the Marines he obviously owns", "Here's 5 Republicans telling you why the Democratic strategy is wrong" and on and on

Dang! That's some rocket science there, that is. Good job NYT. Good grief. They get worse by the day, don't they?

Prison Is Helping Massive Ghislaine Maxwell Coverup for Trump: Insider Prison consultant Sam Mangel reveals on the Daily Beast Podcast that Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred at the orders of higher-ups.

The ACA can be better and stronger, just as everything can be. But the idea that the ACA did nothing is just so fucking stupid that if you make that argument then I just assume that you yourself are fucking stupid. Life pre-ACA was a nightmare and death sentence for so many.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

Gov. Pritzker: "The president lies consistently, and he's got a lot of people around him who are sycophants, including JD Vance, who lie on his behalf...It's propaganda."

It’s just incredible this isn’t the way everyone talks about him

I'm not sure this is the reason. But it was a terrible lapse in editorial judgement whatever the reason.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.

Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

Scott Pelley got a big scoop with the Trump DOJ whistleblower that almost surely was going to be the top story on 60 Minutes this week. But per the NYT, Bari Weiss personally booked Jared Kushner on 60–letting him take a victory lap for the Gaza deal. Pelley’s story was pushed to second position.

It's probably a good idea for people who can do it to boost the Pelley story.

Genuinely fascinating and terrifying to have a person who has never read a book or basically anything and only learns and retains about 5% of what the last person he spoke with told him running the country

These are horrific numbers. And electricty bill in particular are forecast to rise thanks to AI strain on grid and Trump kneecapping renewable projects that would ease that straing.

We're in a suicide pact with stupidity.

Kasparov’s warning: All signs indicate Trump will not give up power voluntarily Former Soviet dissident Garry Kasparov says everything about the Trump administration’s behavior suggests it has no intention of giving up power voluntarily. He starkly warns of “free but not fair” midterm elections in 2026. “They’re sharpening this tool that is aimed at the very heart of American democracy.”

2026 midterms will be “free but not fair,” warns @garrykasparov.bsky.social. “Look at their actions,” he warns. “They're not afraid of losing power because they don’t intend on losing power.” His advice for Democrats: Be more aggressive. #Velshi

I admit I didn’t think the apocalypse would be quite this fucking stupid.

Artillery Shell Detonated Over Interstate 5 During Marines’ Celebration, California Officials Say

Oh.

A 155-mm shell fired during a live-fire demonstration for the 250th anniversary of the Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton on Saturday prematurely detonated, dropping fragments of the shell on a California Highway Patrol vehicle and motorcycle that were part of Vice President JD Vance’s detail

The NY Times is a very high quality newspaper. Extraordinarily talented and rich in resources. But sometimes the high-level editors and management get on strange political obsessions. Like Hillary Clinton’s emails. Their commitment never to cover prominently any “No Kings” protest is astonishing.

Frankly if a multibillion dollar news company can't think of a next day story about a 7-million-person protest that ended with the president of the United States posting a video of himself shitting on America, everyone there should find a new line of work.

@talsmith.bsky.social Since you're apparently not old enough to remember: One of the many reasons we enacted Obamacare is because insurance companies were routinely kicking women off their insurance coverage once they were diagnosed with breast cancer.

On Friday, Trump asked SCOTUS to let him invade Chicago, relying on declarations already deemed unreliable, to disprove Chicago's claim it was abt animus.
On Saturday, he posted AI slop showing him dropping shit on America.
On Sunday, he bombed SoCal.
