- Sen. John Kennedy: "I trust Qatar like I trust a rest stop bathroom ... "
- The great state of Kentucky objects to this slander of rest areas in general but most particularly those here.
- Has Schumer finally grown a pair?

- It really does seem that one of the things the United States is best at is selling guns and bombs and missiles and such.
- Zinke dismisses ethics concerns about Qatar gifting Trump a luxury jet: "Remember who President Trump is. He's a billionaire businessman from New York. He doesn't sleep in a sleeping bag over night. He says, 'Hey, this is a great plane.'"
- So people who sleep in sleeping bags at night are inherently less honest than a "billionaire businessman from New York", who happens to have 34 felony convictions to date. My head hurts.
- The party of death continues to live up to their reputation.
- "Genocide" being committed against Afrikaners(white, of course) but no word on the genocide being committed against Palestinians. Wrong color/religion?
- The Supreme Court opened the way to this and the rest of the massive corruption by dismissing 2 emoluments cases against Trump in 2021. One more reason of many that this court will live in infamy. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...
- Sometimes I don't know who I am madder at: SCOTUS, Trump, the people who voted for Trump, or the nearly 90 million people who didn't even bother to vote.
- 💯
- White privilege gets another boost from the most racist administration since Jim Crow.

- I became a former Catholic in the 3rd grade.
- Some of the details beyond the breathless headlines of the corporate press. But hope springs eternal among much of the rank and file as the markets get a slight boost at the start of the trading day.
- Dr. Krugman on point as always.
- "...it was never quite clear when and whether the maverick president might sign off on what his negotiating team had thrashed out." Even the BBC can not bring itself to call Trump the blithering idiot that he is.
- Remember when we said that what Signalgate is REALLY about is ensuring American pilots don't get shot down because attack plans are shared in non-secure Signal chats? Now not one but TWO F/A-18s have been lost over the Red Sea. Where is Pete Hegseth? And what is he texting?
- "And what is he texting?" Dear Vlad. Mission accomplished.
- “Paxton sued Coppell ISD in March for allegedly teaching critical race theory, which is outlawed by the state. District officials have said the undercover videos that led to Paxton's suit are “heavily edited” and “grossly misleading.”” www.dallasobserver.com/news/ken-pax...
- Undercover videos to monitor teachers. There really is no bottom.
- Pakistan media says the airforce has shot down two Indian jets.
- Son of a bitch. And, what the hell did Vance promise Modi when he was there?
- A chance to buy into Trump crypto?
- Bondi: "They put this in Xanax. They put this in adderall. They put this in molly. The date drug, or the party drug. Something called molly."
- If they weren't doing it before I am sure that they can do it now as the regulatory budget is cut to bare bones.
- BREAKING: The Supreme Court halts a district court injunction that had blocked Trump's ban on transgender military service. SCOTUS is clearing the way for Trump to enforce his purge of transgender troops. All three liberals dissent. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...
- Today's 6–3 decision by the Supreme Court effectively allows the Trump administration to start implementing his ban on transgender troops—not just barring their enlistment, but purging those already serving. An appeals court already put the other nationwide injunction against the policy on hold.
- Christ. The minority couldn't even get a 4th to agree that people are people. Our country has sunk so goddamn low. Will we ever be able to pick ourselves up again? Certainly not in my lifetime.
- Sean Duffy says the Pentagon isn't responding to his questions about why helicopters are flying above DCA. Martha MacCallum replies, "I don't why the Pentagon hasn't gotten back to you on this yet. But we hope they sure do soon." "So do I," says Duffy.
- Hmmm...Is Duffy lying. Are the people at the Pentagon lying. Does MacCallum really care Tune in tomorrow for another episode of, Watch our County Fall to Pieces.
- BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court allows Trump's anti-transgender military ban to go into effect while litigation proceeds. The stay of the district court's injunction was issued with no reasoning and over the objections of Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson. More to come: www.lawdork.com
- This is horrible and alarming news. Background at Law Dork, but I will have more: www.lawdork.com/p/trump-requ...
- Jesus, the Supreme Court is working harder than the Trump Administration to destroy this country.
- Trump backs down on his trade deal promises during a presser with Mark Carney: "We don't have to sign deals. We could sign 25 deals right now if we wanted. We're gonna sit down and put fair numbers down and say 'here's what we want' and we'll have a deal."
- Note that he also backed down on his promise to uphold the constitution.
- Two weeks ago: “I’ve made 200 deals.” Today: 🤡
- TO be fair two weeks ago: 🤡 also. Nothing has changed.

- “.. Negotiations between the EU and US, which began in earnest last month, have made scant progress ..” @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
- Bbbbut...what happened to 90 deals in 90 days?
- Trump on Alcatraz: "It sorta represents something that's both horrible and beautiful and strong and miserable, weak -- it's got a lot of qualities that are interesting."
[This user deactivated their account]- What will it take: last name Biden.
- WELKER: Your secretary of state says everyone who's here, citizens and non-citizens, deserve due process. Do you agree? TRUMP: I don't know. I'm not a lawyer. I don't know. WELKER: Don't you need to uphold the Constitution? TRUMP: I don't know
- He is such a coward. How anyone can believe that the President of the United States can have no opinion about due process is beyond me.

- So it's actually not a lie (it's still funny): He saw a gasoline futures ticker, where the spot price was 1.98 - except gas futures aren't gas prices. In other words, he's simply an idiot in this particular instance and has no idea that there's a difference.
- No no no. He is simply an idiot. Full stop.

- Let the children eat!
- Scathing! The Judiciary, excluding SCOTUS, is the only branch of government holding our democracy together.
- "I don’t mean a hypothetical collapse a few years down the road, but the destruction of large parts of the American scientific enterprise — the envy of the world just a few months ago — this year."
- Trump administration settles with Maine over funding freeze after dispute over trans athletes
- Trump folds like the proverbial cheap suit. Take note all you suck ups.
- Good thread on this report.
- And now back to your regular, incredibly depressing, program.
- NEW: These judges ruled against Trump. Then their families came under attack. My latest with @nedmparker1.bsky.social @bypetereisler.bsky.social @lindasoreports.bsky.social @nateraymond.bsky.social www.reuters.com/investigatio...
- And now for something completely different.
- We can not let our country continue to slip into the hellhole that Trump and his sycophants want. Let us all continue to rise up and fight back.
- Oh shit indeed.
- at his rally in Michigan, Trump plays a propaganda video of prisoners having their heads shaved at the Gulag in El Salvador to big cheers from the crowd and "U-S-A!" chants
- Are we sure that rally was in Michigan?
- Their stupidity never fails to impress.

- From here in Kentucky, coal country continues the contraction apace. No one is going to bring back coal and until Trump and his sycophants recognize that the people in these areas will continue to suffer.
- So much winning.
