3/ Halimi initially wonders if Musk’s accusation is an April Fool’s joke. After all, the decades of work he had done consulting for U.S. diplomats wasn’t in service of the Taliban; it was the opposite.

Little did he know his nightmare was just beginning.

These are the “Career criminals” Trump is talking about. Sickening.

The US media is ignoring this story because #Republicans will continue to do nothing as Russia attacks all of #Europe.

"#Zelensky accuses #Russia of ‘deliberate’ attack on American-owned factory."
"The #Texas-based electronics manufacturing company, Flex Ltd., confirmed its facility in Mukachevo, Ukraine, was damaged early Thursday in a missile strike, which injured “a few employees and contractors.”

It's startling to see the zeal and vitriol from youngster Stephen Miller, who at only 39 years old, is Trump's chief attack dog. In 2022, he cited family privacy concerns when refusing demands to examine his cell phone (relating to the Jan. 6 Capitol attempted coup). He was on his parents' calling plan then. He is a tidy bundle of xenophobia and generational wealth, without any work history or expertise outside ideology and politics.

I don't know who cares to hear this, but I publicly pledge to never use generative #AI to do any of my writing.

That means no AI to generate ideas, generate words, or edit my writing.

(It does not mean I won't use tools to learn how they work for purposes of criticism.)

If Donald Trump won in a
landslide, then why would
they have to gerrymander
the midterms?

@heidilifeldman Trump wants to reinstate Jim Crow. Period.

Keep 'em coming

The DNC found a way to revoke David Hogg’s election to vice chair, despite him winning the nomination.

The Democratic Party establishment won’t endorse Zohran Mamdani, despite him winning the nomination.

And now the Minnesota DFL has found a way to revoke its endorsement of Minneapolis mayoral candidate Omar Fateh, despite him winning the nomination.

Democratic Party insiders keep crapping on its new & young leaders, yet wonders why young people are upset with the party & it has 26% approval😐

@TonyStark

We're getting close to "The Jews should have peacefully protested against the Nazis on the street" levels of bullshit. Right now, blue state governors still have a chance to apply counter-pressure at the national level, but that opportunity won't last.

Opinion | Donbas and Crimea are Ukraine. That is not negotiable.
