A Washington Post model found President Trump’s proposed 250-foot Triumphal Arch would cast a shadow over Arlington National Cemetery graves on 284 days a year.
It is short and so I assume they are looking into things but it is... interesting... that the NYT piece on the new House Dems report on Trump ties to Epstein simply does not mention the brand new rape allegation and says whatever this is instead

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan.
He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
The White House put an AI video of Hillary, Chuck, Hakeem, Kamala, and Ilan jamming out to The Gap Band’s “Outstanding” like a Tiny Desk concert and described Democrats as “washed up,” but damn they never looked cooler. Total self-own.
A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.
The Hawks and Cavs players really ought to take a stand and say they won't take the court for warmups until the W champion (if one is decided that night) has had time to celebrate.
Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States.
"In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct."

Watch this with Trump at his side, remember the dissents in the birthright citizenship case — www.lawdork.com/p/six-opinio... — and understand there are no limits, no places they wouldn’t go.
Rally speaker: "Mike Rogers is an American. Abdul has a birth certificate. The birth certificate says he's a citizen of America. You know what? a birth certificate doesn't make you an American."
"Allie Beth assumes that her readers can imagine Mrs. Sey’s devastation. She assumes people will feel empathy for someone she likes and agrees with. However, she wrote a book to tell the world that such imaginings are toxic. She was wrong in her book."
Actually, a Congress that allows this lawless administration to continue for another 2 years is a spineless Congress.
A complicit Congress.
And an oath-breaking one.
Investigations are an insult to buy them time while more people die!
Screw investigations. We’ve seen enough.
IMPEACH!
This entire thread demands a read, but this part in particular is what i am going to carry forward: a member of congress deciding "you know what, we are gonna fight."
Decide to fight. Be visible about it. People will follow you.

Probably the guy who's going to come out of this one looking like a hero is André Janones, a deputy (congressman) from Minas Gerais who just kind of... decided to take the reins of the situation, more or less, and people were feeling so aimless after the first round that they went along with it.
The mobilization itself was already not something I ever expected to see, but to actually win? Hell, to double the winning margin from the 2022 runoff? Genuinely surreal. Maybe child raping billionaires *don't* have to run the world with a shit-eating grin. Maybe that can stop.
They have a duty to relentlessly repeat the process until the rule of law, checks and balances, our constitutional rights, and our democracy are restored.

Good Morning 🌞 America 🛼
Enjoy the Ewok party vibes from the recent news that inspires and fills us with hope. We will win this thing. Together.

One benefit of holding leaders accountable for crimes is that if Flávio Bolsonaro tries to overturn this election, he knows exactly where he’d end up. In prison, next to his father.
In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.
Luis Sandoval, a 48-year-old Salvadoran man, died in ICE custody at a Georgia detention complex, the 60th death in immigration custody since Trump began his second term, according to the report. The death comes amid a hunger strike by detainees protest...

Fellow fans of You Can See Everything: @paris.nyc, @mikahsargent.com, and I will be discussing it with all SPOILERS bared, like Billy's shower scene (oops, that's a SPOILER) at 2p ET today. Fear not if you see the film later; it'll all be on YouTube. twit.tv/live
We cannot end the fascist regime without removing Trump,
and we cannot remove Trump without impeaching him.
Impeachment and removal must be the top priority.
But the weight of what Alexander was doing started to settle on him late last year.
He said he gets flashbacks about a specific traffic stop, when he handed ICE the husband of a woman he knew.
It was between Christmas and New Year’s. She was less than 2 weeks postpartum.
Early this year, I visited Ingram, a TX town of ~1,900, to check out a tip.
The area was starting to recover from its worst flood in a century.
But as Latino workers drove to jobsites to help rebuild, the tipster said, a cop in a black Dodge Charger kept stopping them ... 🧵
The cop was handing them off to federal immigration agents.
As early as a month after the flood, laborers were adding an extra 90 minutes to their daily commutes, just to avoid Ingram’s five-minute stretch of highway.
this is total gobbledygook? the process to decide who should be certified as the winner is the election, and there is no federal law that says the courts get to decide who that is.
Blanche on CBS says his suit against Alaska is "asking the court to step in where the Alaska Supreme Court didn't, which is to look at federal law and if necessary to allow a process for Alaska to decide who should be certified as the winner."
(So, the voters won't get to decide. Got it.)
NEW: Ingram, Texas, was just rebuilding from a devastating flood when its tiny police department enrolled in ICE’s 287(g) deportation program.
Within a year, cops would hand over the equivalent of 10% of the town.

scott galloway and jessica tarlov held an event here in town yesterday where “don’t impeach or waste time on investigations because ‘28” was the consensus position of the panel. so yeah, this is something to anticipate.
If Democrats actually win big because people want a check on Trump corruption I expect every move to do so will be covered in the corporate media as being risky to their 2028 position.
Taking a break from the world of a criminal tyrant driven insane by his corrupt lust for power to instead attend our community theater production of Macbeth.
It seems impossible for our political system to hold the politicians tied to the actual invasion of our Capitol to account, but any random Muslim candidate is reflexively labeled a terrorist.
In 1991, when I was a freshman in college, Magic Johnson was diagnosed with HIV. My roommate (a basketball player and fan) was genuinely devastated. We all assumed this meant he would be dead within a couple of years.
He's 67 now. ❤️

“We don’t want to impeach if we can’t secure a conviction in the Senate.”
No presidential impeachment ever has. That isn’t the point. The House’s job is to say: unacceptable. You are not fit to hold this office.
Impeachment serves a purpose. 🏛️

NEW, NYT: More action from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Middle District of California that is not based in law and runs counter to DOJ policy.
DOJ is threatening local elections officials in CA after DOJ did not get what they wanted from their BS lawsuit.

Also, as I have recommended multiple times:
Go vote with someone vulnerable to the voter fraud conspiracy theories. Friends with a trans person who will be under suspicion bc of their ID or a brown person who speaks mostly Spanish?
Don't make them go to the polls alone.
If you haven't already,
1. Make a plan to vote,
2. Study your ballot this weekend,
3. Help your family and friends make plans too (e.g. can you take them to the polls/vote centers or drop off their ballots?)
4. Ask them to pass it forward.
ICE seems to think writing “that mission” instead of “that plane” magically absolves them of perjury, but the judge was asking about the plane’s availability. It was available.
There is no difference between a deport and a TCR flight. Both happen on the same plane all the time.
HOLY SHIT. In a sworn statement yesterday, an ICE agent told a federal judge that an ICE flight to Equatorial Guinea had been cancelled and so couldn't be used to bring Ahmed Soliman back to the United States.
The plane just landed in Equatorial Guinea.
