He's going to get the DOD to purchase all his unsold cybertrucks so that each of them can carry a couple of barrels before it spontaneously explodes

This is not trueβ€”driver’s licenses aren’t acceptable under the SAVE Act without additional proof of citizenship. The fact that they keep doing this sleight of hand should make clear that the SAVE Act is not something that β€œevery American gets”

Here’s @jaketapper.bsky.social having American-Israeli *journalist* Emily Schrader on to tell CNN’s audience most Iranians inside Iran actually support Trump & Bibi’s war on IranπŸ€”, and claim Iran is moving weapons into mosques and schools (to justify bombing them… the Gaza playbook)

Reporter: You just suggested that Iran somehow got its hands on a tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school on the first day of the war. But you're the only person in your government saying this. Why?

Trump: Because I just don't know enough about it.

This was such a good job by the NYT's Shawn McCreesh.

He asked a very pointed and direct question to Trump about the school bombing, leading the president to corner himself (was he claiming the US sold Iran Tomahawks???) before admitting he doesn't "know enough" and will abide by the final report.

Congratulations to Sen. Meyer on his new job β€” which will give him a great opportunity to do a wide range of good work for the people of North Carolina. But our Democratic Senate caucus will be the poorer for his absence.

This disgusting shit doesn’t belong in American society.

And Republicans who support it don’t belong in Congress.
