Yet another example why a sociopath should never be near the levers of power.

Sorry, Carl. We only care about the national debt when Democrats are in control.

The Trump administration could use this $464 MILLION to fund food, housing, or healthcare that would help millions of Americans. Instead, they bought planes they don’t need and aren’t using. What a waste.
Homeland Security Paid $464 Million for Airplanes. Then It Parked Them.
The agency used a no-bid contract to buy 10 used jets, saying they were urgently needed for deportation flights. But the fleet has largely sat idle for months.

This by CNN is genuinely reprehensible. Everyone involved should be embarrassed. -The 'new pain' case vs Mamdani is *solely* his religion. -He was in NYC on 9/11, at grade school -Soon after attack GWB himself gave famous speech warning against blaming all Muslims for terrorism -25 yrs later, this.
CNN@cnn.com · 7d agoTwenty-five years after the mayor of New York City became the champion of America's grief and resilience at the time of the 9/11 attacks, families of those killed are split on whether the current mayor should attend the annual remembrance. https://cnn.it/4zkKYdc
Rudy Giuliani is why a lot of people died during and after 9/11. Has anyone said he shouldn't show up? How about George W. who cut anti-terrorism measures that might've prevented it? Why does racist fantasy harm matter more than real harm; the answer is racism, including in amplifying these voices.

What the Historians Proved in Shenandoah County, Virginia
Expert testimony from two historians helped overturn a school board's 2024 decision, and showed exactly why the profession still matters.

"The BOP modified the rules of prison assignment in May.... The attorney general can now direct the BOP to transfer any particular inmate to any particular prison, based on the attorney general’s exclusive judgment," overriding any security formulas that would otherwise have governed placement. /1
The Attorney General as Prison Executive
Why should the attorney general personally decide which federal prison any convict should be assigned to?

Women read Crime and Punishment and Dune. We grew up reading books about men, by men, in school and for pleasure. Sounds like a skill issue to me. Also, Brandon Sanderson is still alive and publishing? He's had something like ten books out in the last year. 😂
Bill Cassidy finally figured out a way to bump his RFK Jr. confirmation vote out of the first sentence of his obit.
Massachusetts just passed the strongest anti-ICE law in the country. ICE now needs a judge's warrant to grab anyone at a courthouse, school, day care, hospital, or nursing home. Effective the second the pen came off the page. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/hes-huntin...
Adul El-Sayed was born and raised in Michigan and holds a PhD from Oxford (that's in England, not in Mississippi), where he was a Rhodes Scholar. He's a leading US public health expert. You, Tuberville, are motivated by just one thing: racism. It permeates your innermost self and defines you.
The moment Collins announced she was a no on Blanche, you KNEW they had the votes.

Hear this guy out: horseless horse carriages. And why did Kirk Skodis think of this idea? Is he an animal rights activist or advocating for the drivers? Neither. He's an ideas man!! hellgatenyc.com/hear-this-gu...

As the City Council looks at banning horse-drawn carriages in Central Park, Kirk Skodis wants to bring electric carriages to New York City. Nevermind that they're not legal yet.

You hired Bari Weiss to run your news division, a person who had zero prior experience with news publishing, facts or truth.
Mike Boylan-Kolchin@mbkplus.bsky.social · 2w ago“I can’t give anyone a view into my heart and mind but I can split some meaningless platitudes that say nothing about my views”. All we can do is judge people by their actions, and we can look at what’s happened at CBS News to see clearly that Ellison is full of shit.
Excellent @paulwaldman.bsky.social piece.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoNew in PN: Moderate Democrats have a choice to make "They can spend the next three months reinforcing Republican messaging about their party & making it less likely Dems take power. Or they can put the 'battle for the soul of the party' off for a while and do what they can to help their party win."
So under this Supreme Court's treatment of U.S. law and presidential power, Joe Biden couldn't forgove my student loans, but perhaps Donald Trump can forgive his own tax debt. Wild.
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 2w agoFLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.
It was cute how Capitol Hill press pretended like Thune & Tillis weren’t gonna cave to Trump all along. It gave the sort of illusion of cat & mouse ‘elevator answers’ of old school chasing dudes thru the Dirksen reporting. MAGA owns the GOP; even the old men on their way out.
