Some Commander in Chief he is.
Facebook post by Nekima Levy Armstrong: "Friends, A Breaking News headline just appeared in the Star Tribune, claiming that the national Target boycott ended today. This is false. The writer of the story, Carson Hartzog, is fully aware that the Target boycott was launched in Minneapolis on February 1, 2025. I have spoken to her several times since then, yet she failed to reach out to me, Jaylani Hussein, or Monique Cullars Doty, the three founders of the national Target boycott for the story. Carson even used the photo from our press conference that includes my daughter, Assata Joy and Ms. Rosemary Nevils, an elder in our community, to try to add legitimacy to a bogus story. I am once again disgusted by the Star Tribune and their attempts to minimize and erase the voices of our community. The nationwide Target Boycott is not over, unless and until Target reverses its decision to rollback Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, as we said from the beginning. “Pastor” Jamal Bryant does not speak for us or our community and has zero authority to end the nationwide boycott of Target, a company that is headquartered in Minneapolis. Please don’t believe the hype and these attempts to rescue Target from the effects of capitulating to the Trump Administration. Target rolled back DEI because of Donald Trump. They donated $1 million to the Trump/Vance inauguration committee. Target also allowed ICE to stage in its parking lots during Operation Metro Surge. The nationwide boycott of Target is successful and it will continue. Please continue to shop elsewhere."
Nekima on the Target boycott.
Doocy has been poking at Trump lately 😂
Trump combines ignorance, arrogance, and idiocy that is still breathtaking a year into his second term.
A legal oversight organization that polices attorney misconduct filed formal accusations against DOJ attorney Ed Martin after he sent threatening letters to Georgetown University Law School last year.
This filing initiates conduct proceedings that could result in sanctions or disbarment.
Even before the first munitions struck Tehran, the federal debt had surged past the $38 trillion mark. Now, President Donald Trump has committed the U.S. to a war with Iran that is draining nearly $1 billion a day from the government’s coffers. https://bit.ly/4s4Vt08
Beavers are amazing - one of nature’s perfect answers to the man made problems we face...:)
Minnesotans can’t afford the Trump economy.

@ericswalwell.bsky.social said his staff had traveled to Colombia to return the boy's medical hearing devices.
According to the family's lawyer, the boy's mother pleaded with ICE agents to allow her to retrieve her son's hearing assistive devices when they were detained.
And Trump is out there saying that it is safe … “Use the Strait!” He doesn’t care who he kills.
5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.
Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.
4/ Ok, so what ARE the goals? It seems, primarily, destroying lots of missiles and boats and drone factories.
But the question that stumped them: what happens when you stop bombing and they restart production?
They hinted at more bombing. Which is, of course, endless war.
3/ Second, they confirmed "regime change" is also NOT on the list. So, they are going to spend hundreds of billions of your taxpayer dollars, get a whole bunch of Americans killed, and a hardline regime - probably a MORE anti-American hardline regime - will still be in charge.
2/ Maybe the lead is that the war goals DO NOT involve destroying Iran's nuclear weapons program. This is, uh...surprising...since Trump says over and over this is a key goal.
But then of course we already know air strikes can't wipe out their nuclear material.
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
The ongoing Pentagon investigation determined that outdated intelligence was the cause of the “targeting mistake” that caused the US to strike the school that was outside the military compound. As was suggested early after the strike by multiple reports.
One thing is absolutely clear right now, in the early in-person vote so far, Republicans are ahead. A lot of Western, Republican-dominated localities have more votes so far than they did on the same day equivalent in 2025. There aren't any Spanberger-won localities running ahead
🚨🚨🚨
Something I want to put on everyone’s radar, ESPECIALLY if you live in Virginia.
Data suggests that *Republicans* are out early-voting Democrats in the Virginia redistricting referendum.
When it comes to Virginia, Chaz knows his stuff.
DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS ELECTION, VIRGINIA DEMS!!!

A foreign hacker likely has the Epstein Files.
The best way to prevent blackmail of government officials, such as trump and Howard Lutnick, would be for AG Pam Bondi to stop the cover up and release all the Epstein Files as required by law.
That deadly attack on US service members also left "dozens w/ injuries including brain trauma, shrapnel wounds and burns. At least one may require the amputation of a limb."
More than 30 are hospitalized.
And credit where due: This is a strong story from CBS News.

“I'd prefer to be dependent on China for the import of solar panels & batteries, than I would, for oil & gas coming from the Gulf, and I'll tell you why… if I buy that solar panel, that battery, that wind turbine, that transformer, I buy it once every 25 years. I don't have to buy it every day”
Scoop: The Pentagon barred press photographers from briefings on the ongoing U.S.-Israeli military conflict with Iran after they published photos of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that his staff deemed "unflattering."
Kamala Harris was gonna give y'all down payment assistance but I guess war is nice too
It was inevitable that one day, the reporters, influencers, and others in the MAGA-flavored press would be called upon to cover an actual news event that does not always reflect favorably on the president.
With the invasion of Iran, that day has now arrived.
He is disgusting. They all are. Send them all to Mars.
The single most American thing you can do is come to America with a burning desire to live in the land of your dream of freedom, crossing jungles and rivers and mountains and deserts because of your unshakable belief that a better life awaits through the golden door. That’s the core ethos.
The idea that America isn’t for everyone who wants to be an American is something that makes my blood boil. Posting a photo of yourself as a Congressman smiling next to these words is wicked. It’s antithetical to the concept of America.
icymi last night, Democrats' third legislative flip this year (and second over eight days):
NEW at Bolts: For years, Colorado has been ignoring a ballot initiative that was meant to eliminate forced labor in prisons.
A judge finally said enough, and ordered the state to stop punishing people for refusing to work (for a mere pennies).
On the big CO ruling:

I don't think enough people are paying attention to Anthropic's lawsuit against the DoD. Hegseth wants Terminators, while Anthropic just doesn't want Claude to pull the trigger (probably for liability reasons). Dystopia is already here.
