"But near the top of the list" is quite a tell.

[JD Vance @JDVance]

When I was in Minneapolis, I heard a number of crazy stories. But near the top of the list:

A couple of off duty ICE and CBP officers were going to dinner in Minneapolis. They were doxed and their location revealed, and the restaurant was then mobbed. The officers were locked in the restaurant, and local police refused to respond to their pleas for help (as they've been directed by local authorities). Eventually, their fellow federal agents came to their aid.

This is just a taste of what's happening in Minneapolis because state and local officials refuse to cooperate with immigration enforcement. They have created the chaos so they can have moments like yesterday, where someone tragically dies and politicians get to grandstand about the evils of enforcing the border.

The solution is staring everyone in the face. I hope authorities in Minneapolis stop this madness.

In honor of @nodefnd’s opening this weekend, I used AI to make a few short-film stories about Punks, just for fun. Hope you enjoy!

Trump is the most socialist and economically illiterate president of our lifetime, which is no small feat. This proposal would do the greatest harm to millions of Americans who have been hardest hit in recent years. When companies can’t charge for risk, they won’t lend!

If they still do Razzies, VEO should definitely get one for worst acting. Can't imagine what Quentin Tarantino says about it.

[Karoline Leavitt @PressSec]

I have just been informed that the highly respected Board of the Kennedy Center, some of the most successful people from all parts of the world, have just voted unanimously to rename the Kennedy Center to the Trump-Kennedy Center, because of the unbelievable work President Trump has done over the last year in saving the building. Not only from the standpoint of its reconstruction, but also financially, and its reputation. Congratulations to President Donald J. Trump, and likewise, congratulations to President Kennedy, because this will be a truly great team long into the future! The building will no doubt attain new levels of success and grandeur.

Nothing says "democracy" like trying to kneecap a technology that 30+ percent of Americans have already chosen to use on a daily/weekly basis just three years after ChatGPT's launch.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

I will be pushing for a moratorium on the construction of data centers that are powering the unregulated sprint to develop & deploy AI.

The moratorium will give democracy a chance to catch up, and ensure that the benefits of technology work for all of us, not just the 1%.

What are they going to rename DOGE?

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

False, this bill was never shown to me even once and was passed in the dead of night so fast that almost no one in Congress could even read it!

Congrats to the Sun-Times for master-minding what has to be the most-read summer reading list a print newspaper has published in the 21st century!

[David Weigel @daveweigel]

"The Chicago Sun-Times newspaper’s 'Best of Summer' section published over the weekend contains a guide to summer reads that features real authors and fake books that they did not write was partially generated by artificial intelligence." https://t.co/3bWwxlpHiw

A little bit dramatic.

TRUMP: Has anyone noticed that, since I said “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,” she’s no longer “HOT?”

The art of the vibe-deal.

It's a "deal," not a deal:

Trump: "I don't think a beautiful baby girl that's 11 years old needs to have 30 dolls. I think they can have three dolls or four dolls ... they don't need to have 250 pencils. They can have five."

Auto glass repair companies in San Francisco are apparently seeing a drastic decline in business:

“We used to get 60 to 80 calls a day,” said Hank Wee, manager of In & Out Auto Glass

“Now we’re lucky to get 25”

[Greg Beato @gregbeato]

All this talk of restoring America’s shower freedom?

What if you don’t feel ready for the day until you've spent at least a half hour in a shower blasting 2.5 gallons of Fiji Water per minute?

Anything less than 0% tariffs on Earth's finest water is pure shower tyranny!

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday lifting restrictions on how much water can be used by shower heads, saying his administration would “make America’s showers great again.” https://t.co/jYK0jVOlCp
