Trump on No Kings: "It's a joke. I looked at the people. They are not representative of this country. And I looked at all the brand new signs I guess paid for by Soros and other radical left lunatics. We're checking it out. The demonstrations were very small. And the people were whacked out."
He seems to have literally gone mad with power, thinking he can just bluster the country into some kind of Fourth Reich with the power of screechy Twitter posts written with all the forced bombast that an insecure dweeb imagining himself as Goebbels can muster.
DHS has never gotten much respect in law enforcement and intelligence communities (in the latter it was basically second to last in the pecking order). Now it’s suddenly flush with cash and high priority and I think it’s very much botching the opportunity at every turn.
ICE writing long screeds whining about someone from Cato calling out their bullshit shows how they know they're losing the narrative here. No one likes ICE. No one trusts ICE. And they're flipping out about how weak they look.
As we passed the midnight deadline for the legislature to pass a bipartisan map, it seems safe to say it's not gonna happen. Why didn't the majority party think it was worth their time to even try?

THE GUARDIANS HAVE MADE HISTORY‼️
Cleveland completes the largest divisional comeback ever, rallying back from a 15.5 game deficit to win the AL Central.
STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.”
Nailed it.
Precisely: our opponents are nightmare people, absolute horrors in every way, who you would not trust with a small loan or your teenage daughter. And yet we cannot really attack them on these abhorrent qualities because it’s become a political truism that “deplorables” lost Clinton the election.
In absolute earnest, I think terror of “elitism” has put a powerful vocabulary for describing what’s going on here out of play. These people are vulgar, thuggish, unsophisticated, crass, unschooled, unreflective. They are low in a sense that has nothing to do with income, & it’s fine to say so.
Confirmed this is a real tweet.
These idiots are in charge of our nukes. We're all gonna die, aren't we? The stupidity is palpable. I cannot believe that this department was better managed under Rick Perry, yet these smooth-brained fuckwits make me long for those days.
The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.
In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.
📌Can somebody tell me why this kind of unhinged, fascist derangement from the President of the United States isn't on the front page of every paper in America, followed by a call for him to resign?
This grotesque nonsense has been normalized long enough.

REP. BUDDY CARTER: We want to make sure that children are protected from trans and that we keep men out of girls' locker rooms
REP. WESLEY BELL: So we're going back to attacking trans folks ... let's talk about what's actually happening here
Afrika hat 2025 60 % mehr #Solarmodule importiert – Afrikas #Solarmarkt boomt! In 20 Ländern neue Solar-Rekorde. In Sierra Leone deckt Solar bald 61 % des Strombedarfs, in Nigeria lohnt sich der #Diesel-Ersatz nach 6 Monaten. #Energiewende läuft! 🌍
I don't think folks here realize just how deeply invested most companies are in AI these days. Example: You're on the phone with a hospital's scheduler talking to a human. Your entire conversation is running through ChatGPT as it transcribes audio, suggests help to the rep, and analyzes your issue.
It's really important to recognize that asking ChatGPT to summarize a current news issue is FAR from the biggest use of these tools and absolutely not even touching the surface of the privacy violations and environmental impact brought by the bigger, robust use cases of large companies.
Right now it's super important to 1) understand that these tools are NOT going away, 2) learn the basics of how they work, 3) learn how to be the one in control of them (IT or policy-wise), and 4) get yourself more involved politically to help regulate them or guide regulation.
Confront that fear!

And this is like, AI use 101, the most basic use. The agent talking to you may have been told that AI is being used to support them, but they don't really know what's happening with it behind the scene. They just know that sometimes helpful articles pop up while they're talking to you.
There’s a DHS check point a block away from my apartment and I cannot express how horrifying it is to no longer feel like I am free to leave my building and be sure I’ll be returning later that day.
Out of the blue, Trump called the Norwegian finance minister to ask when he would get the Nobel prize suggesting he would impose tariffs if he did not www.dn.no/politikk/fre...
Man, the GOP will bend over backwards and sellout their entire nation for the slightest chance of Trump d---slapping them with his flaccid little noodle. It's like they want to remind us every day just how badly they want his sad little weenie smooshed into their faces. This was a softball vote!
"Still, I felt the need for Americans to hear his voice and what we did to this man. We illegally sent him to be raped in El Salvador for no other reason but to prove this regime's cruelty and disregard for the rule of law."
Let's not forget she herself sexually abused children.
Ghislane Maxwell sexually abused children, but Trump will pardon her if it means she maybe won't tell everyone about him sexually abusing children.
Welcome to America;
where our president
is publicly
saying nice things about,
giving immunity to,
and suggesting a possible pardon for
a well-connected
child sex trafficker.
But I’m sure he’s got a good reason.

"Truth over vibes" from an AI bot that's gone full Hitler is absolutely... 2025. Like what are we doing. This is insane. I'm sorry to laugh at that last line, I truly am, this is just completely and utterly unhinged.
Wow! France gifted her to us, and now they’ve captured what so many Americans are feeling on Independence Day. The values the Statue of Liberty stood for are no more.
📌 A stunning mural of the Statue of Liberty covering her face was unveiled in Roubaix, France, on July 3, 2025.
