“Would you appoint a Special Counsel to investigate the Jeffrey Epstein investigation?”

“I have nothing to do with it.”

Yeah, that’s a *pretty* weird answer to the question that was asked.

Someone prove this wrong.

Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.

If you showed me the picture without context I would think troops were readying for an invasion.

Yikes

Minneapolis… San Diego… Folks are pushing back.

This is only going to get worse.

Ingenious 😂

I’m not going to pretend for one second that an executive order is a law.

I don’t serve a king.

A glacier partially collapsed in Switzerland, burying the village of Blatten in a huge landslide of ice, rock, and mud after residents had been evacuated.

Scientists called the collapse of the glacier “unprecedented” in the Swiss Alps.

REPORTER: The president says he doesn't know what his responsibilities are under Article 5 of the Constitution. Who would it be who would educate him about that?

HOMAN: I think the president is one of the most if not the most knowledgeable president that we've ever had

A list of bad-news headlines wrapped up with an Atlantic article headlined “Why are young people everywhere so unhappy?”

I don’t know man, what could it possibly be?

you don't need chatGPT i am perfectly capable of drinking a bottle of water and lying to you

If he’s so jealous, he knows what he can do. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I think we are well past that point already. But as I started saying two and a half months ago, the administration will at some juncture openly state that it is defying court orders. And that will happen very soon.

144. The Supreme Court's Late-Night Alien Enemy Act Intervention Just before 1:00 a.m., the justices (aggressively) stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigation—in a decision suggesting that a majority understands that these are no longer normal circumstances.

An absolute must-read from @stevevladeck.bsky.social this morning:

“Just before 1:00 a.m., the justices (aggressively) stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigation—in a decision suggesting that a majority understands that these are no longer normal circumstances.”

@ABC Patty Morin, whose daughter Rachel was murdered by a migrant without legal status in 2023, criticized her senator, Chris Van Hollen, for flying to El Salvador to advocate for Kilmar Abrego Garcia in an unrelated immigration case. https://abcnews.link/vxXfL69

An innocent man who committed no crime but is the same race as the person who murdered your daughter should have to spend the rest of his life in a concentration camp is the argument?

Auchincloss: "This issue about the Maryland man is not about border security or immigration. It's about freedom. Freedom in the US means that if your feet are on American soil, you get to stand in front of a judge on an equal basis to the awesome power of the state and put forward the facts."

“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

Am I the only one reading White House tweets in Bane’s voice in my head?

An important lesson from Jean-Luc Picard that I’m still sharing all these years later.

Ambassador Spock modeling the proper “fuck you, make me” response to intimidation tactics. Our current-day institutions could learn a lot from him.

🚨 In one of the first national polls (per @dataforprogress.org & @boldprogressives.org) conducted since Trump's tariff announcement:

By a 2 to 1 (60% to 31%) margin, independents say Trump’s tariffs will hurt Americans -- and 55% of overall voters agree.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.

Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

March saw the third-highest number of layoffs in U.S. history, and 80% of them were caused by DOGE

This was before the tariffs

It's just...unbelievable

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements
