Playlists?! Power hand shakes?!

Such an insecure boil on humanity.

Stop it. I asked a serious question: why didn't she shift her positions on Gaza and/or at the very least do some serious outreach to Palestinians (like allowing a Palestinian Dem state legislator deliver a set of prepared remarks at the DNC) if those votes were important to her?

Kamala Harris: "I predicted a lot about what's happening right now. I'm not here to say 'I told you so,' but we did see it coming."

the price of oil surging means you can burn your shein clothes, extract the oil, and make more money than you paid

I, too, think tens of thousands of people should go to prison because sometimes I smell something I don't like

This is one of the most jaw dropping moments of Trump’s presidency. Up there with brainstorming about injecting bleach and shining light up orifices to cure COVID.

Massie on Newsmax: "We're not getting the answers we need from Pam Bondi. I just spent 3 hours at the DOJ this week looking at the unredacted files. And I'm finding evidence of files they haven't released yet." (Note that the Newsmax anchor agrees with him!)

A top Pentagon official said Anthropic’s dispute with the government over the use of its artificial intelligence technology in fully autonomous weapons came after a debate over how AI could be used in President Donald Trump’s future Golden Dome missile defense program, which aims to put U.S. weapons in space. U.S. Defense Undersecretary Emil Michael, the Pentagon’s chief technology officer, said he came to view the AI company’s ethical restrictions on the use of its chatbot Claude as an irrational obstacle as the U.S. military pursues giving greater autonomy to swarms of armed drones, underwater vehicles and other machines to compete with rivals like China that could do the same.

I’m seeing a ton of this floating around.

It’s true, we’re bombing the hell out of Iran, but this war isn’t as one sided as they’d have you believe. In a week, the US has lost at least two (possibly more) AN/TPY-2 radar.

We have less than 15 of them and they take years to make.

Trump allows Russians to interfere in our elections. He does nothing when they pay bounties on our soldiers, and now he doesn’t care when Russia helps Iran kill Americans. A weak President.

Karoline Leavitt: It doesn't matter if Russia is helping Iran kill American troops.

What a breathtakingly twisted White House.

The Pentagon recently signed a contract to increase Patriot interceptor production to 1000 per year. Meanwhile, the US and the Gulf states have likely already burned through twice that number in less than a week.

Susie Wiles: Gotta do something about gas prices

Trump advisor: Let's lie about it.

Wiles: Tried that

Advisor: Say gas prices are going down?

Wiles: But they're not

Advisor: OK, berate media to say up is down.

Wiles: Gas station signs

Advisor: Have we tried asserting things that aren't true?

I have hit the tab limit from time to time, and then the computer seizes, and/or the browser crashes — the machines way of telling me that it is time to “turn it off and turn it back on again”!

I currently have 312 open tabs on one of my browsers.

I know this because I’m trying to fix my internet and I just saw them all striving to reload.

I don’t remember Trump campaigning on Americans needing to make financial sacrifices for foreign wars. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Once is conceivably a mistake (though I can't be sure with this crowd). Twice is reckless disregard. Three times is conscious terrorism and the stuff of war crimes tribunals.

And to think that we could go in there and have nobody killed, not lose one aircraft, where we’re going 1,800 miles an hour over a small area with 152 different planes, different planes and helicopters, is pretty amazing to people, you know. You didn’t have a [President] Jimmy Carter crashing helicopters all over the place, that you didn’t have a Biden Afghanistan disaster where they couldn’t do the simplest maneuver. That was a simple maneuver — they should have never left from that airport. They should have used Bagram.

David E. Sanger What — what did that feel like? You were down at Mar-a-Lago? President Trump It’s like watching a movie, except you’re — it’s a little bit, you know — look, you don’t know if — Katie Rogers Are you worried when this is happening, while you’re watching? Or what is going through your mind? President Trump Yeah, I’m worried that it ends up being Jimmy Carter disaster that destroyed his entire administration.

President Trump I looked at — I looked at some of the attacks. I studied the Carter attack. It was a disaster. I would have never done it that way. David E. Sanger You were talking about the attack. I was asking about the occupations that followed — President Trump You know, they had — they had a — they had a sandstorm. Did you know that? And they decided to go forward. We would go back, and let’s hit it three days later. They wanted to go forward, and they said, keep going. Helicopters don’t work well in the sand. Karoline Leavitt Sir, do you want to show them the renovations?

Today's a good day to note that in his interview w/NYT Trump conveyed a real terror of becoming Jimmy Carter.

Not regime change- societal collapse

VARNEY: If you add it all up, it doesn't look good for the Trump economy

LABOR SECRETARY LORI CHAVEZ-DeREMER: I couldn't agree with you. Overall, we've gained 60,000 new jobs over the last two months

“No one reads the news anymore”

Idk, maybe because the people who bought up all the outlets have gone out of their way to not give people what they want?

Oh no Tim Walz don’t call these weirdos weird in your campaign - it wouldn’t be seemly

Those dem consultants should have to wear a bell so we can shout shame at them till the end of time
