A federal judge says President Trump can't add his name to Kennedy Center and blocks planned closure for a yearslong renovation. https://t.co/CgdIyDBMym

@PECOconnect Unmarried couple with kids who receive assistance through CAP program have these kind of inflatables running all hours of the day and night. It's an absolutely fantastic program for those who need it but other people's hard earned money paying for this is wrong. Taken 5 min ago

@JClarkNBCS Philly sports fans love being pandered to by their governor who is up for reelection and they don't even realize that's what's being done here. He's bookending his term with I-95 Cottman Ave fire/rebuild at the start and this at the finish.👀🙄

Hi there, Ignorant Fuck
America 250 is the official celebration, Freedom 250 is your cult leader's celebration which performers are pulling out of because it was sold to them as one in the same celebration, which it is not.

So Iran can’t have nukes but random tech billionaires can???

@mehdirhasan People are ignoring the fact(or maybe forgot) that red states willingly handed over their voter rolls to Musk and DOGE. That information will be used to secure trumps congress in midterms.

A New Glenn rocket has 5.5 GWh of energy (first and second stage).

The Little Boy bomb dropped on Hiroshima had 17.5 GWh of energy.

The largest non-nuclear blast was Operation Minor Scale (1985) with 4.65 GWh of energy.

The largest non-nuclear accidental blast was the Halifax explosion (1917) with 3.37 GWh of energy.

Watching the media show their failure to republish all of the pieces written about him over decades that could have stopped him in June 2015 before he got started is so fucking rich. This isn't a "gotcha" it's an epic failure of journalism,commodified journalism, thx Ted Turner🖕

[Kurt Andersen @KBAndersen]

Not a secret although seldom said in the press. Exceptions include this deep deconstruction of his failure as a businessman and looming bankruptcies in the summer of 1990.

Beware a false flag oppo during this event to reinforce his demands.
Watch This Space.

Quick question
Republicans do know that holding a huge outdoor event on the White House lawn totally invalidates their arguments for a ballroom
Correct?

The time has come for a basic civics exam if you want to declare as a candidate for public office. Fuck,man. This idiocy is untenable in normal times but now🤯

Bizarre moment at the Michigan Senate debate after Haley Stevens says “the filibuster must go.”

She adds that Democrats “should use the filibuster to not allow the big ugly bill to pass that increased our debt.”

Pressed on whether she opposes or supports using the filibuster, Stevens says: “We should remove the filibuster so Democrats could have voted down the legislation, the tax bill.”

That is not how the filibuster works.

Removing it allows all Senate bills to pass at 51 votes. It would not have allowed Democrats to stop Trump’s tax bill, which was already exempt from the filibuster.

JUST IN: Joe Biden's lawsuit to block release of the Hur audio has been assigned to Judge Chutkan (Obama) after Judge Friedrich (Trump) rejected a bid to link the case to one she was already overseeing.

@RadioFreeTom Yet not a single journalist or news org thought it pertinent in June 2015 to republish the hundreds/thousands of articles produced over decades which would have peeled back the Apprentice veneer he manufactured saving us and the world from disaster. Profit over people

[The Pessimistic Gardener @MagikCure]

I'll say it a million more times. All the media had to do in June 2015 was republish just half of the news articles and TV magazine pieces about the 🍊🤡 and we would have avoided the destruction of the US. It would have cost nothing, instead cashing in on a juggernaut of 👀/cash

[Kurt Andersen @KBAndersen]

I'd never seen this -- MAD Magazine, 1991. Really good.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Nothing to see here, just a Republican Senator accusing a Democratic Senate candidate of child sacrifice.

But, hey, don’t you dare criticize Trump as that could lead to political violence. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[Scott MacFarlane @MacFarlaneNews]

NEW: In court filing, preservation group alleges Trump Admin has now dumped "substantially" more than 30,000 cubic yards of debris from East Wing renovation at the East Potomac Golf Course in DC...

Debris shows "concerning levels of arsenic, hydrocarbons, and other dangerous pollutants – including lead"

Preservation group is fighting Trump's attempt to take control and overhaul the public golf course

Texas barbecue joints are closing due to skyrocketing beef prices, particularly brisket, which is a staple on the menus. Inflation, tariffs and labor shortages all play a role.

Even the state's most celebrated restaurants are struggling to remain open. https://t.co/l2lYkI1tg2

Samuel Alito’s son has worked as a lawyer inside Trump’s Treasury Department since early last year. The administration hid it.

No public resume, no LinkedIn, no mention on the Treasury website, outdated bar listings. Four former officials confirmed it.

The public was never told.

Here is why that matters.

Philip Alito served as an attorney-adviser in Treasury’s general counsel office, briefed on department matters across the board, while the Supreme Court took up a case in which the Treasury Department was a named defendant.

The department never disclosed the connection in court.

Justice Alito did not recuse.

The federal recusal law is plain. A justice must step aside in any case where his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.

That is the test.

Not whether anyone can prove influence but whether a reasonable person looking at this would doubt it. A justice ruling on cases involving the very agency that employs his son fails that test on its face.

And Treasury sits at the center of many upcoming issues, including the fight over Trump’s $1.776 billion dollar fund to reward the January 6th rioters he pardoned. That fight could be headed to the Court too.

This is exactly why the honor system has failed.

The Supreme Court is the only court in America with no enforceable code of conduct. I support withholding funding from the Court until the justices adopt a binding code with real recusal review.

Congress holds the power of the purse.

We should use it.
