🚨GOVERNMENT WASTE ALERT:
The Trump Admin bought thousands of cars, including Mustangs, and wrapped them in a tacky design.
They’re collecting DUST in storage!

Not “all men”. Not “all white people”. Not “all -insert group”
These people gain power from our silence, fear, learned helplessness, complacency, hopelessness, habit.
They are sure of it, depend on it
Fighting them is scary. Some can. Start with encouraging yourself and others to speak up.
If you’re bitching about the Live Nation/Ticketmaster settlement w/DOJ for less than 1% of their profits last year and not mentioning Kellyanne Conway negotiated the settlement w/her friends in Trump administration you’re doing it wrong. This is how corruption works, folks.
But, "they'll greet us like heroes". Nevermind, that was Iraq.
Honestly surprised this has taken as long as it has. It appears that Iran is ready to stretch out the pain as long as possible.
Republicans are again going to attack veterans & try to strip us of our disability & won’t even allow measures to be put in place that will stop them from taking our disability when nobody is actually charged with a crime & w/o notifying us. Just some random AI tool to go after disability ratings.
From developing one to now wouldve had 11 in a year

🚨BREAKING: Attorney General Pam Bondi violated federal law when she replaced Alina Habba, the former interim U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, with a “triumvirate” of attorneys, a federal judge ruled Monday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Ballistic missiles and conventional navies are not the systems that close shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz.
Mines, drones, USVs, and coastal anti-ship cruise missiles do that.
Later in the morning a Greek tanker carrying Saudi crude successfully transited the Strait.

It followed the quiet unraveling of the administration’s first attempt to stabilize the situation.
Washington floated two fixes: U.S. Navy escorts and government-backed war-risk insurance for tankers. On paper it sounded decisive.
In practice it began to wobble almost immediately.

The FDA is convening fewer outside expert advisory panels, even as it makes big and controversial drug decisions.
This means less public debate and oversight. Is this the “radical transparency” RFK Jr. promised? 🔍 👀
Spare me. Bring back the qualified experts. Get rid of the petulant toddlers. 😒
Today, Clayton is in control at SDNY, and the Halkbank case appears to be heading to an out-of-court resolution as Trump appears to have neutralized SDNY's famed independence from Main Justice.
After that effort failed, Zarrab turned state's witness against Halkbank manager Hakan Atilla and implicated Erdogan in sanctions-busting trades.
That case led to separate indictment against Halkbank itself, eventually led by one of Bharara's successors Geoffrey Berman.
This is a case where multiple ex-SDNY U.S. Attorneys suspected that Trump's White House tried to kill the case.
It began when @preetbharara.bsky.social charged Turkish-Iranian gold trader Reza Zarrab with spearheading the scheme.
Rudy Giuliani repped Zarrab and tried to execute a prisoner swap.

I really encourage everyone to spend some time with the DHS Flickr page, which in one year posted thousands and thousands of glamour shot propaganda photos of Kristi Noem and little else. Our tax dollars! www.flickr.com/photos/dhsgov/

Ridiculous move.
The VA needs more funding, more staff, and more facilities.
ALL THE ADMIN DOES IS TRY TO DESTROY IT.

This is classic modern espionage. Instead of dark alleys and dead drops, recruitment now starts with a LinkedIn style job post. Fake consulting firms are an easy way for intelligence services to spot people with government access. #China #Espionage #Counterintelligence

Just a reminder that Muslims have been on this continent since the first arrival of non-Indigenous people. They were among the first generation of Americans, and have been here ever since.
At every USL game this weekend, USL players paused play for 60 seconds in a powerful show of solidarity.
They’re united and ready to fight for the fair contract they deserve.
As the players stand still, America’s unions stand with them.
