JUST IN: Trump administration argues courts lack grounds to halt White House ballroom project even if it was clearly illegal. DOJ attorney also contends no lawsuit could stop Trump from tearing down Statue of Liberty if he wanted to. w/@kyledcheney https://t.co/boxAzjGAEI

266,000 jobs under Biden:
“slowed”
“muddled expectations”
“fell short”

172,000 jobs under trump:
“upswing”
“vigorous”
“strong sign for economy”

This is the double standard Dems have had to deal with for the past 10 years.

Such language, such values, used to be considered the norm for America and American politicians. Especially Republicans, if you’re old enough to remember the ancient days before 2016.

[scary lawyerguy @scarylawyerguy]

You would be able to see the outrage from outer space if a DOJ lawyer defended a Democratic President's right to bulldoze the Statue of Liberty w/o consulting anyone but since it's a DOJ lawyer defending Trump, it will barely make a ripple in the news cycle

@classic_film I really like Diane Krall, but with this, I have to go with Dusty Springfield, to whom I'm partial for anything. She has greater vocal dynamics, and the horn orchestration (+ the solo sax!) is awesome.

She ate lunch alone for 730 days straight. What this 16-year-old built from that pain now protects millions of kids worldwide.

Seventh grade. Natalie Hampton carried her tray through a packed cafeteria and felt it — that specific, suffocating dread of not knowing where to go.

She'd already learned what happened when you approached the wrong table. The silence. The turned backs. The whispered laughter that followed you all the way to the empty table by the wall.

The one everyone could see.

The one that said: nobody wants her.

For two full years — 730 consecutive lunches — that table was hers. Alone.

The bullying went further than whispers. She was shoved into lockers. Four physical attacks in two weeks. She came home with scratches and bruises. When she finally reported it, school administrators sent her to counseling — to find out what she was doing wrong.

The isolation grew so heavy she was hospitalized for anxiety.

Then ninth grade came. A new school. And almost overnight — everything changed. Students welcomed her. She made friends within weeks. She finally knew what safe felt like.

But she couldn't stop thinking about the kids still sitting at the wall table. Right now. Today.

She remembered what she'd needed most during all those lunches. Not a teacher. Not a pamphlet. Just one person saying: "You can sit with us."

So at 16 — with zero coding experience and "a lot of enthusiasm," as she put it — Natalie built exactly that.

She called it Sit With Us.

The idea was simple and genius: students sign up as "ambassadors," keeping their table open. Other kids privately browse available tables on their phones before ever walking into the cafeteria — and show up knowing they're already welcome.

No public rejection. No moment of judgment. Just a guaranteed seat.

Within 7 days of launching: 10,000 downloads.

Then the world found her. NPR. The Washington Post. CBS News. Messages from Morocco, Australia, the Philippines, France — kids who'd been eating alone for years, finally finding a place to belong.

Sit With Us now operates in 30 countries.

"Even if it helps one person," Natalie said quietly, "it was worth building."

She turned 730 lunches of loneliness into a lifeline for millions.

That's not just survival. That's transformation.

Some Georgia leaders are now calling for his impeachment.

Colbert’s replacement is now down to 628k viewers from its dismal 1 million the first week. Kimmel has a 178% increase in that time, and Fallon a 10% increase. All Weiss did was make Trumps worst enemy in late night TV even stronger.

They published a 900-page book in 2023 that told everyone exactly what they planned to do if/when Trump won.

Many people chose not to believe them.

It is Albanians, not Americans, who are protesting against American corruption.
The US appears to have accepted the corruption of the Trump family, so we Americans have to rely upon the sound anti-corruption sentiments of others.
Truly embarrassing, but thank you, Albania!

"Pelley was not uncivil. He didn’t threaten anyone. He didn’t curse or scream. He was professionally disagreeable. Which is basically the job description for journalists. It’s the job description that Weiss herself wrote. She just didn’t mean it."

After roughly a week of having the media tell us that Senate Republicans were STANDING UP TO TRUMP you'll be shocked to learn Senate Republicans did not in fact STAND UP TO TRUMP. 🤡

The screwworm program wasn't charity, it was a $10 million fence that kept a billion-dollar problem from eating our own livestock alive. That's the thing with most USAID funding: it looks like "aid," but it's really cheap self-defense. Solve a problem there, and it never lands on our doorstep. But sure, let a bunch of guys who can't define DEI without Googling take a chainsaw to it. They didn't stop to ask, "Will this cut hurt us too?" Unless that's the point, burn it all down and call it efficiency.

As usual our inept agriculture secretary, blaming the Biden administration as usual, instead of offering a solution to the problem they created.

Texan here

A screwworm infestation is a nightmare for cattle, causing horrific wounds and economic devastation. For Texas, the situation has escalated dramatically in the last 24 hours with the first confirmed case of New World Screwworm (NWS) in over 60 years! This could have been avoided!

Infested animal can kill a cow in less than two weeks.

Treatment is extremely difficult and time-consuming, requiring the painful removal of every visible larva and deep disinfection of the wound. Ranchers no longer have much experience with this labor-intensive process, and there is currently no approved pharmaceutical treatment to make it easier.

This has triggered a massive economic threat. The USDA estimates that a widespread outbreak would drain an astonishing $1.8 billion from the Texas economy alone in livestock deaths, labor, and medication expenses.

How will this affect you? Tightening supplies will drive already high beef prices higher.

Trump's National Guard surge violently detains U.S. citizen—for holding a sign.

She was standing on her own front porch.

3 soldiers block her from entering her home—tackle her to ground.

"Help! Help! You're breaking my arm!"
she cries.

"You came onto my property—you have no authority to detain me!"

Trump Administration announced a "surge" in the number of National Guard and ICE agents in DC to at least 5,000 last month.

On at least three additional occasions in the last two weeks, National Guard soldiers have handcuffed and detained people in DC.

This footage was submitted to FilmThePoliceDC on June 2.

Incident occurred in the Truxton Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C.

"Morley Safer of 60 Minutes was my father. He would be disgusted by what Bari Weiss is doing to CBS"
This is excellent.
Especially the brutal letter Safer sent to Larry Tisch when Tisch was destroying CBS in 1980s.

NYT headline when the economy added 266,000 jobs under Biden vs. NYT headline when BLS says the economy added 172,000 jobs under Trump.
