Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

The footage shows that at one point an MPD officer asks Jackson and the DOGE lawyer if the USIP building is owned by the General Services Administration (which typically deals with the federal government’s real estate). β€œIt’s a private building, and that’s why we need MPD,” Jackson says.

You mean you finally figured it out? The β€œdrill baby drill” program hard at work for the Russians and API benefit. Every O&G corporation just loves a good war.

The same day WaPo reports that Russia has provided Iran with intelligence on locations of US ships, aircraft, personnel and assets in the Middle East, Trump’s Treasury Secretary announces the administration is removing Russian oil sanctions.

BYD just killed your EV argument with a battery that competes with gas engines The Chinese carmaker's new batteries feature a 5-minute charge and 621-mile range, plus a 620,000-mile lifespan and lower prices.

Imagine if you could buy an electric vehicle which gave you 600+ miles off a 5 minute charge. For most of the world, it's not a dream. For buyers in the US though, we're being left in the fossil fueled dust of our own idiotic policies.

WSJ: US is preparing to ask China to reduce its oil imports from Russia and Iran and instead buy more American oil and gas as part of broader negotiations ahead of an upcoming Trump-Xi summit.

Context: Political theater: in media - US will be tough on Kremlin, in reality - US eases sanctions on RU.

What are you looking at? What are you basing that strange perspective on? I have seen no Canadians jumping on the Trump's war bandwagon. We, at Carney's guidance are distancing ourselves as far away from the twisted demented pedophile. We have agreements and are seeking more with the sane countries.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: Here we are with a regional war, we have oil prices skyrocketing, market volatility, 6 members of the military have lost their lives... It's a remarkable expression of the cluelessness in terms of foreign policy.

Judging from the prose, the Pentagon appears to be using AI to announce the death of soldiers. If it’s not AI, it’s a person who simply does not care.

The New Yorker Kristi Noem will be remembered as the most incompetent Secretary in the 23-year history of the D.H.S. now

I don’t think the incompetence actually is going to be what Kristi Noem is remembered for.

It will be the killings, the lawlessness, and the grift, if I had to guess.

With every new development in this story I am even more gobsmacked that Epstein and his co-conspirators escaped accountability over and over and over again. There's more to come from my investigation. Stay tuned.

Incredibly angry about this every day.

The people who pick on trans kids are not only disgusting freaks who want to inspect children's genitals, they're also miserable bullies who break the rules of decency laid down by every measurement of morality.

My school district is being forced to lay off several educators and a librarian because of a $500,000 budget gap, or roughly the amount spent on the war while I was typing this post.

'Rock solid' majority opposed to Alberta independence: Abacus Data poll | CBC News About a quarter of Albertans support the province leaving Canada, but the majority β€” nearly two-thirds β€” are against it, according to a new poll from Abacus Data.

Now do UCP MLAs. Is it a split? Or worse? Smith is a separatist, and her hiring of "Free" Rob Anderson confirms this. The separatists own the UCP. Would like the UCP to be honest and tell Albertans, "we're Bloc 'Berta".

Residents Rally to Keep AI Data Centre-Fueling Power Plant Out Residents in Olds, Alberta, are organizing to block a 1.4-gigawatt gas power plant slated for construction directly across from their homes.

uggh. Olds, AB, you want this?

"the project would include 10x140MW gas plants, each running on 2x 50MW gas turbines and 1x 140MW heat-recovery steam generator to capture waste heat and increase efficiency. The plant will also have 600 emergency back-up diesel generators in case of power loss."

Investigators now say the U.S. likely bombed a girls’ school in Iran, killing over 160 people, mostly children. If confirmed, it would rank among the worst civilian massacres of America’s Middle East wars.

This should be a huge fucking wake-up call to every level of government playing footsie with fascists and their pals in β€˜law enforcement.’
These people are by far the biggest threat to public safety - not protesters, not encampment dwellers, not people using drugs. Fascists.

Tesla sued after Austin shooting suspect allegedly assaulted co-worker A 65-year-old woman says the automaker ignored warning signs before Ndiaga Diagne, the suspect in Sunday’s mass shooting, assaulted her. She sued Thursday.

the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year

the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter
