So now the Golden Dome isn't over America...it's just over the White House. A perfect microcosm. We can all die while he is safe. We tried to warn you.
Israel killed two UNICEF drivers trying to get WATER to families in Gaza. Is this story going to get any coverage?
Or is the ongoing genocide not newsworthy?
Dems should be making as much noise as humanly possible to push back against the absolutely insane idea of DHS creating a list that will dictate who can and cannot vote.
Over and over the message this administration sends to federal employees is "Break the law, and so long as you're doing it to support our political causes, we'll let it slide."
It is a recipe for corruption and impunity. Discipline has to mean something.
Rep. Rosa DeLauro, top Dem on House approps panel, says DHS is *choosing* not to pay TSA workers while paying other employees.
She says:
85% of ICE + CBP are being paid
75% of Secret Service
0% of TSA workers
"The Dept made that decision," DeLauro says on the House floor.
It has gone largely unnoticed that the chief enforcement official, for the SEC, Margaret Ryan, left suddenly last week.
She had been restricted from investigating sketchy trades and investments involving the Trump family and close associates.
If FAA staffing shortages turn out to be a key aspect of this horrible tragedy, remember that @elonmusk
and his “Doge” department fired hundreds of FAA staffers last year - including safety workers, and even tried to fire air traffic controllers https://t.co/dGzybjRqZK
This is called the Demonize, Defund, Destroy Cycle btw.
1. Demonize a government service
2. Defund the service to the point that it can no longer function properly
3. Abolish or privatize the service, using the excuse that it’s clearly just a bad idea that can’t possibly work
I was in a similar situation. I was hired for a remote job, solely remote. I support hundreds of sites all across the country remotely and on call 24/7. My boss is in another state and we have never even met. I work with 7 other remote workers who I also have never met and are spread throughout the country. I frequently get calls to fix network issues at 2am. I wake up, get on my laptop, and fix the issue within minutes. At the beginning of 2025 during the attack on people who work from home, the “company” I work for forced all of the remote workers to go into an office and work 8 hours. We didn’t even have an office, so the “company” wasted money building 50 million dollar offices to house maybe 20-30 employees each. All now have 24/7 security staff, cleaning crews, maintenance, landscapers, etc. Billions of dollars were spent housing a few hundred employees. Productivity dropped, and instead of fixing issues at home at 2am, we were instructed to go to the office, get paid 2 hours minimum in overtime, then go home. Something we could have fixed in 5 minutes. That company I am referring to is the US government. Those billions wasted are taxpayer dollars.
A key assumption of the American Founders and the Constitution is that the three branches would fight as hard as possible for maximum power, resulting in checks and balances.
Congress, through cowardice, fights as hard as possible to relinquish its power, especially over wars.
The U.S. just accidentally admitted two things:
1. AI is for monitoring Americans.
2. AI is for building autonomous weapons.
Anthropic simply said “we won’t help with that,” and Washington reacted like someone exposed their entire playbook.
If this isn’t panic, it’s guilt speaking.
Just so we are clear on what’s at stake when you’re complaining about Dem candidates not being progressive enough for you.
Thomas & Alito are considering retiring.
It takes 51 Senate votes to block a nomination, or majority of committee.
Justice Ted Cruz is the risk.
We need every fucking senate seat, so you better show the fuck up and vote.
It does not matter what Israel calls it, stop saying “preemptive strikes” to justify ANOTHER ILLEGAL WAR LAUNCHED BY ISRAEL.
“Israel says” is not journalism.
“It’s just locker room talk”.
We know. That’s the damn problem.
It’s always locker room talk.
It’s always rape jokes.
It’s always “boys will by boys”.
It’s never “I’m sorry.”
It’s never “that was disrespectful”.
It’s never respectful of women .
lutnick basically shorted his own employer, buying tariff refund rights for pennies on the dollar. now that the court has struck the tariffs down, lutnick will most likely be in charge of expiditing payments to..........himself.
The Epstein Administration is a crime syndicate.
We have a real problem brewing with the “Board of Peace” and it needs much more attention.
1) There is no legal entity for “Board of Peace” organized under the laws of any country, meaning it is subject to NO country’s laws.
2) Trump is acting like the US is party to it as a treaty organization, but only Congress has the power to do approve that.
3) BoP is collecting and distributing funds (JP Morgan playing as banker) but this must be in violation of Know-Your-Customer laws since BoP *doesn’t exist*. It is a transnational mafia backed only by the executive power of its members.
4) Since BoP doesn’t exist, USPTO is illegally holding its trademarks on its behalf, violating the Lanham Act, which requires that holders intend to use marks in commerce.
5) Trump signed Executive Order 14375 protecting BoP under the International Organizations Immunity Act, but this merely protects from interference, it does not legitimize or establish the organization.
6) Trump is saying he intends to use it to “oversee” the United Nations. There is no provision in the UN charter for any such oversight organization; what he means is that he is going to extort the UN by withholding US dues.
This thing needs to be challenged legally and practically. If it is not stopped it will quickly evolve into a world takeover mechanism, and indeed it is already usurping US sovereignty as well as sovereignty in Gaza and of participant countries.
Seriously, this is no joke and intervention is necessary NOW. The illegal trademarks are one pathway in. There are others. But whatever you do don’t brush this off as one of Trump’s follies. It’s anything but.
So corporations might get refunds from the government because of Trump's illegal tariffs. Those corporations raised prices because of those tariffs, meaning more money out of your pockets. But you get nothing.
So, all in all, another massive transfer of wealth to the top.
