When I see/hear disrespectful crap like this spew from his mouth, I wonder how CJ John Roberts, the judicial institutionalist, can face himself in the mirror? He alone is responsible for Trump's destruction of constitutional norms that enforced our nation for 249 years.

But when asked about #military force #Trump said “it’s highly unlikely” but said “I don’t rule it out” in reference to #Greenland.

“I don't say I'm going to do it, but I don't rule out anything. No, not there,” he said. “We need Greenland very badly. Greenland is a very small amount of people, which we'll *take care of*, & we'll cherish them, & *all of that*. But we need that for international security.”

Hamas militias were caught beating Gazans who tried to take aid from a Hamas warehouse.

Hamas currently has piles of aid that they stole from the thousands of aid trucks sent to Gaza.

@GottaLaff Here is #Vought wiggling out of saying that as head of the OMB, he would follow the Impoundment Control Act.

He tells Rep Murray that what the President will do, via OMB, "are not impoundments, they are Programmatic Delays."
This is a semantic game that he developed under #Project2025 to give Trump the power to withhold funding that congress legally allocated.

“few would debate that what is happening during U.S. President Donald Trump’s second term presents anything other than a wholesale attack on the rule of law both domestically in the U.S and internationally.”

I have no idea how many of the aid requests for Palestinians are scams and not sure whether I care to know. I do know that if they hadn't chosen to attack Democrats with lies about us supporting genocide that odds are that conflict would be over and Kamala would be getting aid into them.

I do wonder how much income this character has made off all of the fundraising money that has been collected for over a year though.

Texas-based fossil fuel supplier, Sun Coast, has filed suit against Tesla for “refusing to pay” over $2 million it owes for fuel deliveries to its Austin manufacturing plant.

Apparently #MeidasTouch is hitting too close to home ...

Excerpt:
"Fox News just launched another attack on MeidasTouch.
...
We focused on his erratic public behavior, his imaginary conversations, his publicly manifested delusions, and his inability to form basic sentences.
...
We know that Murdoch and Trump talk about going after us and independent media."

“It is not safe. 'It is not a safe situation right now for the flying public," a Newark air traffic controller told MSNBC Tom Costello. "Don't fly into Newark. Avoid Newark at all costs."

With radio & radar failures, some controllers walked off the job!

@Lorrrraaaaine I can't even process this. Will there be fines for wearing a seatbelt next?
How can anyone consider punishing someone for wanting to protect their health? It's like your bodies are not your own anymore.
