The key issue here is not just who might get paid but whether the executive branch can use a settlement with itself to create a nearly $1.8B taxpayer-funded payout program without Congress. zurl.co/zAcYl

Earlier this week he said “virtually treason.” Now he says “actually treason.” He is President, and has directed prosecutions. Not an opinion, a threat.

What Rep. Dan Goldmen describes is not “detention.” It’s state-sanctioned abuse, and it’s what happens when human beings are disappeared into systems with no accountability.

Imagine looking at the problems facing this country and deciding the urgent legislative priority is: “How do we get Trump’s face on a $250 bill?” The lawmakers have stopped serving the country and started serving the ruler.
If the war is over, why are we still negotiating the terms to end it? Authoritarian governments have to manufacture victory, deny reality, and demand the public accepts the fiction the government gives them.
Trump: impeach Bush for lying America into a disastrous Middle East war. Also Trump: launched an Iran war w/out a vote, offered 4 different justifications, and told Congress the War Powers Resolution doesn’t apply b/c hostilities have “terminated” on paper while forces and blockades stay in place
Trump’s OPM wants to impose NDAs across the fed workforce. It isn’t really about protecting “confidential government information.” It's about intimidation and making public servants think twice before exposing misconduct, waste, abuse, or criticism the administration doesn’t want the public to hear
A judge dismissed all charges against the Broadview Six after learning prosecutors communicated with grand jurors outside the jury room, excused dissenting jurors, and redacted misconduct from transcripts. The judge said her trust in the DOJ was broken. Think about how extraordinary that is.
Rather than confront the core issues affecting Americans, Trump focuses on aesthetics and grandeur. That is the autocrat’s playbook: accumulate power, ignore the needs of the majority, and distract from the resulting failures with political noise and chaos.
“Pre-funding Donald Trump’s private militia” is the clearest warning in this exchange. The concern is not just corruption. It is the creation of a publicly subsidized incentive structure for political violence.
Comey’s question is the right one. If DOJ is creating a taxpayer-funded “anti-weaponization” fund with “no partisan requirements,” can Comey apply? Letitia James? Mark Kelly? John Brennan? Adam Schiff? Andrew McCabe?
Judge Crenshaw told DOJ and DHS officials: stop talking about Abrego Garcia in public in ways that could poison the jury pool. Patel is a DOJ official. Calling Abrego a “convicted gang-banging rapist” looks exactly like the kind of public attack the judge warned them not to make. zurl.co/fThpi
America’s global power was built on confidence in U.S. rule of law, not just military might. That confidence has collapsed internationally, and the entire foundation of American prosperity has become fragile.
Showing off our new disc design from Ryguy’s Dyes (find them on Instagram!). Bounced it around a skate bowl and got it riding the rim — such a fun test. #DiscGolfCity #GameDev #IndieGame #DiscGolf #SkatePark #Godot
Allowing a man who ran a factional org that broke the law when it channelled secret cash to fund Starmers rise, & which then ran a smear campaign against journalists investigating its role, to opine on whats gone wrong for Labour & the need to come together, is frankly absurd.

Xavier Becerra @xavierbecerra.bsky.social sued the Trump administration as Attorney General to stop ICE & won! Becerra will stand up to Trump defending CA as our Governor! #Becerra
So a country “we are supposed to support” (unsure why) who is supporting a country currently causing 2 ongoing GENOCIDES & now doing business with a company not wanted within the UK by the British public. I refuse to support a country who supports ISRAEL. Boo hoo if you are FUCKING offended.

Thank you, Piper. This unpopular truth has to see the light. Data centers will not employ folks from the community directly after they are built. Routine maintenance doesn’t require more than a dozen techs at even the largest centers. There is no product like a warehouse or factory. No packaging.

Most e-commerce blogs stop at “brand awareness.” Add product recommendations inside articles → and suddenly content sells. Blogs don’t have to be side projects. They can be sales channels.
The real measure of any society is how it serves women and families. So I can tell you that the state of our union is not strong when those in power put billionaires first, slash health care, SNAP and childcare funding, and protect powerful predators like the one in office.
UNAIDS’ new Global AIDS Strategy 2026–2031 lands as the HIV response faces its worst setback in decades: flat funding, widening inequalities, prevention stalling. Ending AIDS by 2030 is still possible—but only if we act now.
