7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: He choked.

The market started to tank, and suddenly, he said, “Oh, didn’t you guys already have a plan to deal with the border back in December? I love that—I’ll take that.”

This is Mr. Art of the Deal.

Just saying.

A reminder that on this site folks may be aware that Trump got basically nothing new or substantive from Mexico or Canada but over on the other place, and out in parts of the real world, the GOP are successfully and ruthlessly spinning these as wins. They are messaging masters, Dems aren’t. Sorry 🤷🏽‍♂️

I am so goddamn mad. A friend who’s been FISHING BODIES OUT OF THE POTOMAC appears to be in the Trump purges today.

Pete Buttigieg responds to Trump:

Zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights when Dems were in charge.

Matthew W. Huttle, who served time for his role in the Jan. 6 attack and was pardoned by Donald Trump, was shot and killed by a Jasper County sheriff’s deputy during a traffic stop in Indiana following an altercation with the officer.

Police say Huttle was armed and resisted arrest.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Joni Ernst, I respected you as a survivor of domestic abuse and as a decorated military veteran. Apparently standards were lowered for you to serve. BS! Stand against this idiot!

I appear on @CNN often. And if saying this means my days at CNN are over, then fuck it. CNN, removing @Acosta.bsky.social from his am show is cowardly bullshit. Acosta is an independent, unafraid host. To demote him to appease the crybaby in the White House is pathetic. Shame on u CNN. Don’t do it.

Rachel @maddow.msnbc.com told me to join Bluesky last night and it only took me 24 hours to figure it out.

REPORTER: You would agree it's never acceptable to assault police officers?

TRUMP: Sure

REPORTER: Among those you pardoned is a guy who used a stun gun on a police officer. Why does he deserve a pardon?

TRUMP: Well, I don't know

This makes my blood boil in ways I cannot describe.

Just saying.

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge).

You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

Tammy Duckworth is just killing Hegseth.
Gets him to admit he has never done internationals security arrangements. Doesn't know what SecDef has to do on same.

She asks him to name ASEAN countries and significance of them. He names a bunch of countries that aren't part of ASEAN.

Jimmy Carter on the American oligarchy He was a truth-teller. We should remember what he said — and act on it.

Shortly after Citizens United, Jimmy Carter issued a stark warning about the role of Big Money in politics. May we remember the truths that he told us — and act to remedy them. bit.ly/4j6N1cC

Holy sh*t. Donald Trump says he can’t assure the world he won’t use military force to take over Greenland or the Panama Canal.

Greenland is a territory owned by Denmark.

This is one of the dumbest and most dangerous things Trump has ever said.

"When America sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with them. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. And some, I assume, are good people."

--Greenland

Since we’re all talking about Greenland and Canada now would be a good time to remind people that Puerto Rico and Washington, DC actually should be added as the 51st and 52nd states.

Thank-you, Elizabeth Warren.

I have serious concerns about Pete Hegseth’s background, including his mismanagement of non-profit organizations, accusations of sexual assault and drinking problems, blatant disregard for the contributions of female service members, and support for war crimes and torture.

Yum yum.

"The raw milk producer at the center of several bird-flu recalls says RFK Jr. has encouraged him to apply for a position at the FDA.

"The recalls were the result of positive tests for H5N1 bird flu among his cows. His farms have since been quarantined...”

Why is this couched as him sending "signals" when he outright says what he's going to do?

Here is your explanation: he is a liar.
