I was covering a Trump rally in a small town in Pennsylvania, Schnecksville, a month before Butler. It was the exact same set up. It was a farm in the middle of nowhere with like one low building next to it was the identical configuration of Butler and I believe this was a dry run.
@Timcast When you dont understand how something works, it's a better indication that you have no idea of what you are talking about than someone else cheating.
@SingBlazesing@Architectolder It's not just for the people who want to destroy. It's also the people who unintentionally destroy things, too.
Most people have selfish boundaries.
This is a devastating interview.
Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good.
Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.
Today is Sunday, June 7, 2026
This is your daily reminder that the U.S "president" @realDonaldTrump is a pedophile. @SpeakerJohnson@DAGToddBlanche the @GOP@HouseGOP@SenateGOP are ALL covering it up.
I QUOTE: (EFTA02858481) — "TRUMP did not like [redacted] from the get-go, he didn't like that I was a tomboy... TRUMP asked everyone to leave the room... TRUMP mentioned something to the effect of, '"Let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be."' TRUMP unzipped his pants and put [redacted] head, '"down to his penis."' [Redacted], '"bit the shit out of it."' TRUMP struck [redacted] and said words to the effect of, '"get this little bitch the hell out of here."'

This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.
The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.
And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.
Record-breaking temperatures.
A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.
The response?
Yank out the instruments and walk away.
That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.
For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.
The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.
That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

@RealCandaceO In respect to Putins banning unbiased journalism, you should be wondering why you were let into Russia as they clearly didn't see you as a threat on that point.
@RealCandaceO It's not exactly an impressive claim.
Putin also banned free and fair elections, freedom of thought, and freedom of speech, protests, social media, unpleasant facts, and unbiased journalism.
@SimulatedLion@chiky_handlr And yet you probably think Trump attempting to demand $1.8 billion from the IRS to pay criminals loyal to him, and also demanding a lifetime audit exemption for him and his kids is perfectly above board and without collusion.
This can not be said often or loud enough...
@flanomad@chiky_handlr If you want your faux facts taken seriously, you should at least figure out rudimentary punctuation. Specifically what a period is and how to use it.
I mean, Trump is a brain addled idiot, and even he can figure out punctuation and form more coherent sentences.
Florida paid a portable toilet company called Doodie Calls more than $92 million over six months to haul wastewater out of the Everglades. The state projected it would pay Doodie Calls $480 million over two years. For comparison, building a sewage treatment plant for a city of 10,000 people costs about $5 million.
That is one vendor. At one facility. Built in eight days on an Everglades airstrip using hurricane disaster funds because Ron DeSantis declared immigration a state of emergency in 2023 to access a $5 billion fund set aside for floods and hurricanes.
The facility costs between $1.2 million and $3 million per day to operate. A conservative estimate puts the annual per-capita cost at $500,000 per detainee. Florida spends $30,000 a year to house a convicted criminal in a state prison. The math on Alligator Alcatraz is not tougher than a prison. It is more than sixteen times more expensive.
Three quarters of the men held there have never been convicted of a crime. They are awaiting civil immigration proceedings. They are being held in kennels - cages with steel mesh sides, 16 bunks, three toilets, brightly lit 24 hours a day. Amnesty International documented what it called deliberate neglect designed to dehumanize, including credible allegations of men held in stress positions in direct sunlight without food or water for hours at a time.
Governor Braun opened the Speedway Slammer at an Indiana prison. The Cornhusker Clink in Nebraska. The Louisiana Lockup at Angola. The naming contest is ongoing. The cruelty is the point. The cost is someone else's problem. Florida's emergency fund has dwindled to $200 million. The facility cannot run to the end of the year.
The men in the cages are still there.
This is fucking insane.
The Trump DOJ just stood in federal court and said with a straight face that the authoritarian regime could bulldoze the Statue of Liberty tomorrow — and there's nothing anyone could do about it.
When a judge asked point-blank: "If the government decides to destroy the Statue of Liberty before anyone can sue… nothing can be done?" The DOJ lawyer answered: "I think that's right, yes."
Let that sink in.
They're openly admitting they believe Trump has the power to erase one of America's most sacred symbols — the literal beacon of freedom for millions of immigrants — and the courts can't stop them in time.
This is authoritarian, dangerous, un-American bullshit.
The Statue of Liberty isn't their property to demolish on a whim. It belongs to the American people.
Wake the hell up, y'all!
