Trump endorses a primary opponent against Bill Cassidy. He sold his soul to confirm RFK Jr, and Trump sticks it to him anyway. This is why it is even more disgusting that these cowards are afraid to stand up to him. He demands total fealty but has no loyalty to them.

Trump plans executive order to keep Army-Navy game exclusive, blocking playoff football from overlapping The president doesn't want anything else interrupting next season's Army-Navy game.

"President Donald Trump posted to social media on Saturday that his administration plans to sign an executive order to give the Army-Navy game an 'exclusive 4 hour broadcast window,” which would make it so no other game would be televised at the same time.'"

Laser-focused on the important stuff.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

So she had a pulse. That’s what the doctor on the scene wanted to check. She wasn’t breathing, but she had a pulse. He could have started CPR right away.

Instead ICE barred the doctor from attending her and waited 15 mins for EMT to get to her.

Tech Workers Are Condemning ICE Even as Their CEOs Stay Quiet The killing of George Floyd in 2020 prompted a wave of statements from tech companies and CEOs. Today, pushback against ICE is largely coming from employees, not executives.

β€œI think so many tech folks have felt like they can’t speak up,” Diemer told WIRED. β€œI want tech leaders to call the country’s leaders and condemn ICE’s actions, but even if this helps people find their people and take a small part in fighting fascism, then that’s cool, too.”

Trump is threatening wars with NATO and Venezuela for the same reason he’s at war with the American people: fascism must always be on the march.

Authoritarians are good at offense, but bad at defense. The only strategy for combating the Epstein crisis is literally going to war.

Gadgets are getting worse and more expensive at the same time Blame AI.

Memory is a really important component, and as the AI data center boom sucks up more and more resources, not having enough of it means that virtually every gadget with a chip in it will either get more expensive or less innovative or both.

ICE Started the Fire Rather than trying to calm things down, the government is fanning the flames.

"This is an impossible situation that our city is presently being put in,” said Jacob Frey. He couldn’t be more right. And the White House, its jackboots, and its paid liars are entirely to blame.

Minneapolis live updates: Trump says he will invoke Insurrection Act if state politicians 'don’t obey the law' Follow live updates as protesters face tear gas and flash bangs in Minneapolis after a Venezuelan man was shot following a traffic stop last night.

The man who orchestrated an actual insurrection now ludicrously labels citizen protesters as traitors, desperate to use the military as his own personal militia to crush dissent.
