It’s really remarkable to me that 10 years into this people feel compelled to “clarify” Trump’s homicidal and often genocidal fantasies. It is deranged for the president to daydream about American cities in states he hates getting blown up. Full stop.
A couple weeks ago someone said if he hacked into a government system, he'd be put in prison. But when OpenAI does it, they send an "apology letter" & there are no consequences. Our 2-tier justice systems are trash. They enable the development of psychopaths who learn the laws don't apply to them.

So...he wants to keep it closed and continue the halt of tankers, shipping, and commerce? He wants to increase inflation even more? What is he objecting to and does he understand why?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoTrump: "I'm rejecting their deal. They want to make a deal where they open the strait immediately ... we're winning tremendously. We have total control of the Hormuz Strait ... that deal would not be acceptable. They want to immediately open the Hormuz Strait."
On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

The finale episode for Strange New Worlds' troubled fourth season dropped today, and if we're grading on a curve, it was pretty decent.

Fox News hosts spend their day telling their audience that Democrats are communists and communists are evil people, then in the evening they all got dressed up to attend a state dinner honoring a communist.
It's a decent episode in a weak season, but holy moly did #StrangeNewWorlds desperately need a science adviser. Abominable science in the finale. Inexcusably so. With some tweaks/different terminology it might've been fine. I've other quibbles too, but also positives. Review up in a day or two.
Donald Trump hates democracy. He hates free speech & a free press. He hates free & fair elections. He hates an independent judiciary & its duty to justice & the law. Yet he adores murderous dictators, particularly Putin. Who exactly is the enemy of the people? American voters have one more chance.
This is fucking insane. Absolutely fucking insane. So, if you're healthy and haven't needed to use your insurance policy, these dumbshits think you're committing fraud?! What?!
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoDr Oz says the Trump administration will kick more than a million people off health insurance because some of them have "never filed a claim"
JD Vance is using AI to kick hundreds of thousands of people off health insurance. These are AI death panels.

Democrats should make a statement putting everyone on notice that the demolition of the Kennedy Center would be an illegal act, and they will now or eventually hold any board members who approve it, and any contractors who commit it, criminally responsible.
Re: #StrangeNewWorlds 409, which I surprisingly did not hate: How has Lt. Cdr. JT Kirk not been busted down to steward for being constantly absent from his post? Worst XO ever, he's never even on the ship. 🤔
Mike Johnson sending the House home to avoid a vote on Pete Hegseth’s impeachment is a cowardly disgrace…and another reminder why these anti-democratic, pro-war, pro-Trump, Epstein file coverup enablers and Republican failures need to be sent home permanently.
