- Am I the last to know? The Qatar jet offered to Trump turns out to be an item unsuccessfully for sale since 2020. The "gift" is not only a Trump grift, but also an attempted scam on the US taxpayer, who will assume costs the owners no longer wish to pay. onemileatatime.com/qatari-royal...

- DeLAURO: Are you planning to break the law by impounding appropriated funds? RFK Jr: If you appropriate the funds, I'm going to spend them D: We have! You're cutting the NIH by $18b. Congress appropriated those funds. How can you justify cutting billions from the biomedical research budget?

- Qatar gifts Trump a $400M jet... is this the real life?
- After entering in the U.S. in 2023, José Franco Caraballo Tiapa and his wife were timely in completing all their immigration check-ins while awaiting asylum. In February, he was suddenly detained. It is unclear why. Neither the U.S. nor Venezuela cites any criminal history for him. #BringThemBack
- Mike Johnson: "Look, I've been a little busy on reconciliation, so I'm not following all the twists and turns of the Qatar jet. My understanding is it's not a personal gift to the president ... other nations give us gifts all the time ... it's not my lane."
- It's official. I filed a Senate Resolution of Disapproval. RFK is CLEARLY in violation of his constitutional oath. He must resign.
- Converting the $400 million Qatari jet into a new Air Force One for Trump would require installing multiple top-secret systems, cost over $1 billion, and take years to complete, according to three aviation experts who spoke to NBC News.

- Let’s have Congress vote on it. I’d like to get some Republicans on record before the midterms.
- Good morning and happy Tuesday to everyone. Maybe I’m a radical leftist, but I'd rather have my taxes fund NPR and PBS than a military parade for a fucktard draft dodger.
- FOTUS seems to be having a “let them eat cake” moment with his bribery plane from Qatar. Be a shame if he had a Marie Antoinette moment.
- Got my copy of “The AI Con” by the amazing @emilymbender.bsky.social and @alexhanna.bsky.social today at my local bookstore! Can’t wait to dig into it!
- Happy US book release day to me, my amazing co-author @alexhanna.bsky.social and everyone else who can now open up their own copy!! All the details on ordering, events, and news coverage at thecon.ai
- Plagiarism runs in the family. Remember that Melania stole Michelle Obama’s speech.
- Ted Cruz: "I also think the plane poses significant espionage and surveillance problems ... I certainly have concerns."

- It was a gift to the people of the United States.
- I have read this entire article and I cannot find the part of it that explains what “Deepseek was just the beginning” means. It seems like they’re shoveling money into LLMs just like everyone else

- Do not care one bit about Joe Biden not recognizing George Clooney, what I care about is how the current president doesn't recognize the Constitution!
- Our current president took a nap today, during a live conference. Tell me more about a retired dude in Delaware
- Well, Clooney was an early voice publicly calling for Biden to step aside. Are you sure that Joe wasn’t just snubbing him?

- Buttigieg: I’m not even an elected official or running for anything— I’m here. I can’t help but notice a lot of people who are elected officials aren’t. There’s a reason for that. They don’t want to have to explain this stuff
- How I miss the decency of the last administration. Sigh
- TRUMP IS LETTING THE CARTELS ACROSS THE BORDER!!!
- Did Trump and Pam Bondi make a deal with the Sinaloa Cartel? It would seem so, and now 17 cartel family members have been allowed to enter the U.S. apnews.com/article/el-c...

- WATCH: “How can you assure the American people Medicaid won’t be cut?” @RepTimBurchett: *Attacks the young man for asking a valid Q other reporters should ask him* Attention-thirsty Burchett is rude, immature, unprepared… and nowhere near as funny as he thinks he is.
- I'm walking to a marathon committee hearing where Republicans will vote to take away healthcare for 13.5 million Americans. They've been trying to do this for 15 years. Democrats are ready to have this fight again.
- If no one's bribing you with a 400 million dollar Qatari jet ✈️ and you can only have one doll, choose Tariff Tilly, the perfect MAGA indoctrination baby! 🤣😢😵💫😂 Credit: The Daily Show
