The guy who did such an incredible job with the Reflecting Pool, Ballroom, Kennedy Center, National Mall, and Great American Fair is going to redesign our warships. What could go wrong?

Oh, honey . . . You don’t really care about the welfare of young girls. You support a man who rapes them. And then you brag about getting his endorsement.

Good god . Trump is an idiot. He has no idea what today’s Navy needs to fight future wars. Please listen to smart people. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Navy weighs major warship redesign to match Trump’s preferences

The president wants the new fleet of aircraft carriers to more resemble those from World War II. Such a change could cost billions.

And if they think these guys will re-up — well, think again, Bozos.

MS NOW'S Priya Sridhar reports on fwo tense meetings between angry military families and Navy leadership — including acting secretary of the Navy, Hung Cao - over difficult conditions aboard the USS Lincoln as its combat mission against Iran stretches onward with no clear date to return home.

But will his DOJ charge him? Not a goddam chance.

It’s illegal to as a Attorney General he is not supposed to engage in political activity. It’s a violation of the Hatch Act.

America has become a Banana Republic in just 21 months. So, F-cking Sad. Our President posted this today.

WRONG: He needs to be charged, tried, convicted, and jailed for the crimes against humanity that he did commit.

Stephen Miller deserves to spend the rest of his natural life fighting a legal system charging him of crimes he didn't commit in a language he does not speak, alone, and without counsel: publicnotice.co/p/stephen-miller…

"No. Not nearly long enough" then he turns and walks away. Ignorant and uncaring. What else is there to say.

Reporter: Family members of service members are concerned about conditions on the LIncoln. Trump: No they’re not. Reporter: Has the deployment gone on too long? Trump: No. Not nearly long enough.

Mom was a proud NU alum who bleeds purple. Guess who won’t be donating to the school? I’m sure this has *nothing* to do with the $70m settlement the university paid to Shitler.

This is an absolute travesty. Northwestern has, probably, the 2nd best library collection for African History/Studies in the USA (behind Yale and ahead of MSU, UCLA, etc). A self-inflicted wound that is absolutely, 100% unnecessary given the massive wealth of Northwestern--north of $15 billion.

Republicans do not care!

First it was Joe Manchin's daughter who screwed people who needed EpiPens. Remember that? Now, it's Chuck Schumer's daughter who is screwing Amazon workers? WTF?

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 2d ago

Zohran Mamdani is backing a bill to hold Amazon accountable for exploiting delivery drivers. Now Amazon is launching a $5M lobbying blitz — led by Chuck Schumer's daughter — to crush it. Instead of spending millions on lobbying, Amazon should pay and treat its drivers fairly.

This is just one of the reasons support for Israel is fading in the US.

Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank diverted a spring that was a lifeline for the Palestinian village of Fasayil, cutting irrigation pipes in June and converting it into a tourist attraction, leaving nearby farms barren.

For whatever reason MSNBC tossed Katie Phang, but she's come back as a national legal force -- and newsmaker -- to be reckoned with. Hooray for Katie.

New Zealand leads the way in Oceania.

What Trump has done to the Oval Office, making it look like a Victorian Brothel or Putin's Kremlin (take your pick), underscores his disdain of American history, culture, and sensibilities. But Republicans are OK with it ... because a Democrat will remove all that crap.
