In tonight's speech, the president did what he does best: celebrate himself. But if anyone was looking for leadership focused on easing their current economic pain, he made clear that they'll need to look elsewhere.
Watch and then share. Please.
Screenshot of an X post by Omar Jimenez (@OmarJim…, 7h) stating that Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison says he doesn’t have the names of the agents who shot Alex Pretti, adding: “I’ve been a lawyer for 36 years. I’ve never seen anything like this before.” Below is a CNN video thumbnail showing a split screen: on the left, an older man in a black cap and glasses labeled “Brown | Business Owner,” and on the right, Keith Ellison in a suit. A CNN “LIVE” bug appears in the corner.
This is a cover up of a murder, led by our own federal government.
A felon who married an immigrant is telling a lot of y’all that the problems in this country all stem from felons and immigrants.
But keep buying that stupid red hat that’s made in China.

🇺🇸 MINNEAPOLIS VETERAN: "They are terrorizing the population, in Afghanistan we never wore masks.” (From @statuscoupnews.bsky.social )
Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

Your “dumbass” line got you a follow. 🤣
Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.
Who will Trump have indicted tomorrow when he doesn’t win the Nobel Prize? 🤔
I was thinking today, sadly, of all the years I spent telling my writing students they could trust a .gov site.
If we flew the American flag at half-mast for every murder of an American who deserved better, who deserved to be heard and respected and live in peace, we’d never raise the flag to its full height again.
Dear God. Trump just cannot keep himself from ad libbing. He reads a clear and well written speech and then opens his mouth and his own words come out. What an embarrassment he is.
Soldiers in MRAPs rolling around Union Station—blocks from the Capitol—seems silly, performative, and useless.
But it raises a much darker question:
What would Trump have done on Jan. 6, 2021 if he had possessed then the kind of control over local law enforcement that he seeks to acquire today?
🤔
Great essay. Love Jon Batiste.
And - you Do know that “wherefore” means “why,” not “where.”
When you're 5 minutes into a Jamie's 15 minute meal recipe and you realise you forgot to grow your herb garden.
Pretty soon all economic and jobs data released by the federal government will be handwritten with a black Sharpie
Trump: It looks like it’s about $3.1 billion
Powell: I’m not aware of that.
Trump: It just came out
Powell: You just added in a third building
Trump: It’s a building that’s being built
Powell: It was built five years ago.
ATTN: If you're one of the Treasury employees that handled Epstein's Suspicious Activity Reports, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻
This is what fear looks like.
A primer for the civically ill-informed.
Reposting this and a few other things for no particular reason today. Maybe I’ll do it tomorrow and the next day, too.
