Trump is already breaking ground on his massive 250-foot-tall “triumphal arch” near Arlington National Cemetery, despite the fact that the project has not even been approved by the federal review panel yet. Apparently, approvals are now just a formality when Trump wants to build himself a monument.
I’ve known many other defense secretaries, starting with Cap Weinberger, who served as defense secretary under Reagan. I can say without fear of contradiction that Pete Hegseth is the stupidest and least qualified of them all.
Hegseth Must Go
If Trump won’t fire him, Congress must impeach him

US data centers directly consumed about 66 billion liters (17.4 billion gallons) of water in 2023, according to the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, with indirect water use from electricity generation adding nearly 800 billion liters more. Source: gpusmith.com/articles/en/...
Last night, in Tarrant County, Texas, county commissioners tried an even cruder way of rigging the election. As Cecelia Lenzen of the Texas Tribune reported, they voted 3–2 along party lines to get rid of 92 of the polling sites the county had
🚨 TEXAS: THEY’RE TRYING TO CLOSE 92 ELECTION DAY POLLING PLACES Tarrant County officials are set to vote TODAY on cutting Election Day voting locations from 316 to 224, nearly 1 in 3 polling places gone. Civil rights groups warn the cuts could disproportionately burden Black, Latino & Asian voters
This is one of many reasons I don't trust what we're hearing from DHS. And also, DHS always lies. Always.
weird how he can get flown back to his home country within days, yet everyone else in ICE custody rots in a hole for weeks or months until they get sent to whichever country has the most diseases in its prisons
This dude is losing his mind. Can’t win a war but obsesses in AI like the unhinged boomer he is
In 1976, during an unforgettable episode of her syndicated television variety show Dolly!, Dolly Parton welcomed her close friends and fellow music icons Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt to share the stage.
I never would have predicted that cutting 20% of the staff at the federal agency that makes sure our food is safe would result in a bunch of our food being declared unsafe.
Holy shit — the purpose of this Trump event is to announce that he’s changing the name of Lake Ontario to “Lake America.” It will be interesting to see which if any institutions and companies go along with this
Well, the Trump administration’s EPA found a simple way to stop hearing from the public just eliminate the requirement to ask them. The EPA is scrapping public notice and comment requirements for air pollution permits on new data centers and the power plants needed to run them.
Dolly was the last American institution with higher approval ratings than puppies.
my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.
No one will ever convince me that crypto isn't just a huge Ponzi scheme. Also, it sounds like a villain from 1960's Superman.

💥 ICE drag mom & teen daughter out of hospital room—in middle of being treated after car accident. Still wearing hospital gowns. Both victims of car collusion, with asylum case pending in good standing & valid work permit. Grace Calero 39, & Giulianna Carriel 19, from Ecuador.
It’s really impressive that anyone could watch the wars in Ukraine and Iran and determine that we… don’t need drone battalions. What are we even doing here?
Ossoff on why he invoked Natalie Harp during his speech: "We're in wartime. The commander in chief has mired us in this geopolitical disaster. People have lost their lives ... and he retreats into this bubble of West Wing aides who are his security blanket to make him feel good about himself"
Being forced to learn Frère Jacques, in French, was the most useless exercise in my entire school career.
