“You need to judge Christopher Columbus by the standards of his time.”

Well, he was arrested and stripped of his titles in 1499 for his tyrannical crimes. So by the standards of the 15th century, he was a monster.

To my knowledge, never in its history has the United States ever allowed a foreign government to build a military outpost on its mainland soil. Words fail to capture the staggering betrayal, sabotage and borderline treason this heinous decision by the Trump regime represents.

Missing on paycheck and immediately needing to go to a food bank says a lot, and we should pause and focus on that. This is a very bad sign as to what’s really going on in this economy. People are down bad.

Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision has been followed by significant price hikes and layoffs, harming both gamers and developers.

As we’ve seen across sectors, increasing market consolidation and increasing prices often go hand-in-hand.

As dominant firms become too-big-to-care, they can make things worse for their customers without having to worry about the consequences.

Jane Goodall died today. While smarter and more informed people will talk about her work, I want to share a snippet from her Wikipedia page - the two greatest paragraphs ever on Wikipedia. The first parts are amusing and interesting, but the last sentence elevates it to high art.

This will now be the second time Trump has caused a shutdown *while* controlling both houses.

Something that before him hasn’t happened in 50 years.

The Dems were there for any last minute legislation, but @SpeakerJohnson had sent his delegation home days ago with no real intention to engage.

So the Republican side lay empty, as the chair, with a disgusting smirk, refuses to recognize the Dems in a Pro Forma session.

MAGA is only interested in performative blame games - not governing!

The professionalism that our most senior military commanders exhibited with their silence today despite repeated attempts by Hegseth & Trump begging them to please clap was encouraging, and should be an example to all troops when they try to exploit them for partisan politics.

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

That was a completely embarrassing and irresponsible display. Trump and Hegseth not only just used the nation's top military leaders as political props, not only had many of them fly thousands of miles away to do so, taking them away from their critical roles, but on top of all that: put their safety and our national security at risk by gathering nearly all general officers in one place at a specified time.

The levels of narcissistic stupidity here. It's pathetic.

[Fuck You I Quit @fuckyouiquit]

Hey guys, is it normal for a country’s leader to gather a room full of its entire top brass and say they need to wage war against their own citizens? If only history offered even a single other documented example to hint as to how that might end.

BREAKING

A federal judge finds that the Trump admin's policy targeting pro-Palestinian students for deportation violated the First Amendment.

His blistering, 161-page ruling starts with a threat he received in chambers and his response. https://t.co/tynGd2qs7Z
