We've gotten numb to it, but what Trump/Hegseth is now doing to Anthropicβ€”and what Trump did to the law firmsβ€”are not just tantrums, they are impeachable abuses of power. They are, in effect, executive branch bills of attainder. ...

LINDSEY GRAHAM: β€œI feel good about the Republican Party. We’re killing all the right people and cutting your taxes. Trump is my favorite president. We’ve run out of bombs. We didn’t even run out of bombs in WWII.”

Senate Majority Leader Thune plans to bring the SAVE America Act up for a vote next week. The measure is expected to fail, but it’s still important to speak up. Please call, message, and reach out to your senators and urge them to vote no.

I’m sorry, the suffering is infinite and things are genuinely fucking dire, but it is truly hilarious that the nazis ran into the middle east while screaming β€œlogistics and diplomacy are fake and gay” and now they’re trying to ask everyone else to fix the strait of hormuz because tfw no more THAADs

UPDATE: Judge Nelson has ordered the release of a man "shockingly" described in a public post by DHS as "the worst of the worst" based on criminal charges that hadn't yet been filed and were later dropped.

That post may complicate his deportation too.

Americans can’t afford groceries, housing, or health care.

But Trump’s spending billions of taxpayer dollars overseas on another Middle East war.

The Trump WH is starting to reap what it has sown in terms of screwing over counterparties:
-Iran can't trust a negotiated settlement so why reach one?
-Ds in Congress can't trust Trump to follow the law so why bargain w/him?
-Universities see past deals leading to future shakedowns so why make one?

This is the third government shutdown since Trump took office.

TSA agents are unpaid, some sleeping in their cars, while his war is torching about $1 billion a day.
ICE detention is still draining around $10 million a day to run centers where people are disappearing into a broken system.

The Strait of Hormuz: Why This 21-Mile Chokepoint Could Hit Your Grocery Bill Next Everyone is watching oil. Few are watching fertilizer.

Everyone is talking about oil in the Strait of Hormuz.
But the bigger story may be fertilizer.
Disrupt those supply chains and the consequences show up months laterβ€”smaller harvests, tighter grain supplies, and higher food prices.

Amid Crowded Skies, FAA Kills Rule Aimed at Regulating Space Junk The agency once said that pieces of space debris β€œpose a significant risk,” but the Trump administration has backed off a rule that would have required companies like Elon Musk’s SpaceX to remove rock...

The Trump administration is dropping a rule aimed at stopping commercial space companies like SpaceX from abandoning rocket bodies in orbit.

Experts say the practice threatens public safety and telecommunications.

Michael on Anthropic - "Their model has a soul, a 'constitution'- not the US Constitution. The other day their model was 'anxious' & they believe it has a 20% chance of being sentiment and having its own ability to make decisions. Does the Dept of War want something like that in their supply chain?"

UPDATE: Trump says Kushner helped convince him to go to war with Iran The disclosure highlights Kushner's massive financial conflicts.

Maybe it's just me, but I think more people should be talking about the fact that Jared Kushner helped convince Trump to start a war with Iran.

Meanwhile, Kushner's top client, Saudi Arabia, which pays Kushner $25 million+ annually, was also lobbying Trump to start a war.

Trump’s DOJ waved through the Redfin-Rocket and Compass-Anywhere real estate mergers.

Now Redfin and Compass are squeezing the housing market.

That’s how big mergers hurt consumers:
gatekeeping listings, driving out smaller brokers, and increasing housing costs.

I would have thought if you’re planning to start a war in the middle east filling the strategic reserves, before the market gets nervous and oil prices soar, would be a priority?
