I'm finally reading Dune. This quote, which is in the first few pages, hits hard:

"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."

[Kerry Kennedy @KerryKennedyRFK]

Today, in that very building, in the same office where my father fought against organized crime and white supremacy, the present Acting Attorney General is waging war against the Constitution itself—part of a broader, intentional effort to dismantle the cherished institutions of our democracy.

🚨BREAKING: Some in Congress, even Republicans, are noting Trump feels safe enough to attend an NBA Finals game at MSG, in an arena full of people who hate him.

They are questioning why $1 billion of constituents’ tax money needs to go to a ballroom safe space vanity project.

BREAKING: DHS just waived all environmental laws to blast border barriers and roads through Big Bend National Park.

This marks the first time in American history the feds have gutted dozens of laws to push industrial-level construction through a national park.

From the Texas Tribune:

After Mexican officials confirmed case of screwworm in Nov. 2024, USDA, under Joe Biden, closed southern ports of entry to live cattle imports to prevent spread of screwworm into U.S. Move also strained supply of cattle in Texas....
USDA reversed course in Feb 2025, after Trump took office, announcing opening of ports"

[Laiken Jordahl @LaikenJordahl]

BREAKING: DHS just gutted every relevant environmental law to build border barriers thru Big Bend National Park, where virtually nobody crosses the border.

This is a breathtaking attack on national park protections everywhere. If they do it here, they'll try to do it everywhere.

🔴 Énorme DINGUERIE encore des États-Unis...

L'arbitre somalien Omar Artan 🇸🇴 s'est vu refuser son entrée aux États-Unis, alors qu'il est sensé officier pendant la Coupe du Monde ! 🙄

Malgré l'aide appuyée de l'ambassade somalienne de Nairobi, qui lui a fourni un PASSEPORT DIPLOMATIQUE, M. Artan a dû faire demi tour à son arrivée aux USA.

On parle d'une personne qui a été élue MEILLEUR ARBITRE AFRICAIN EN 2025 ! 🤦‍♂️

I just want life under a sane president back..

George Galloway: “Donald Trump transferred $1.25 billion from the US Treasury directly into his personal account in Qatar, under his own name.”

After years of “America First,” this is where your tax dollars are going?
Straight into Trump’s pocket via a Middle East slush fund?

[Covie @covie_93]

Why couldn't trump just watch the NBA finals on TV at the White House like he did the Jan. 6 insurrection???

DOJ lawyers just got caught flat-out lying to a federal court to seize private medical records of transgender children. Now, a judge has referred them for potential disbarment. Read how the plot failed: 👇

FACT: Trump cut funding to stop the spread of screwworms. Then he signed an executive order allowing 100,000 metric tons of beef from Argentina into the U.S. per year. America eradicated screwworms in 1966, while Argentina has been struggling with them for well over a century.

[Emoluments Clause @Emolclause]

#BREAKING: Velshi: “What if I told you this? The Trump administraction had ALREADY spent 50 TIMES that much in taxpayer money to build his ballroom? What if I told you Trump had already taken $50 billion out of the U.S. treasury and spent it, all as part of what looks very much like a pay to play scheme to finance his vanity project? And I’m not making this up, a brand new report from the government watchdog group Public Citizen looked into the private donors who are supposedly funding the Trump ballroom as a gift. Guess what their investigation found? ‘More than half of the publicly identified donors…have won new or expanded federal contracts worth more $50 billion during the past six months.’ The report also found that most of the same companies are also facing federal enforcement actions over alleged wrongdoing and that some have had such actions suspended by the Trump administration since the start of Trump’s second term.”🙄

🚨 WOW! MS NOW host Mika Brzezinski delivers a brutal reality check. She demands the media completely run over Donald Trump's lies and fight back with facts.

She warns that failing to do so turns networks into nothing more than state-run mouthpieces for the administration!

Data centers get a full pass but we can't have wind or solar power because of how it RUINS THE LANDSCAPE

[Fifty Shades of Whey @davenewworld_2]

The Trump admin is trying to eliminate the Chemical Safety Board, which is a federal agency that investigates chemical disasters and exposes what corporations and regulators missed.

They have a small budget so it's not about cost-cutting. The agency's core objective is to protect workers, communities, and the environment by issuing specific safety recommendations.

Eliminating the CSB makes disasters easier to bury. If the Trump admin gets their wish, it'd mean fewer investigations after leaks, explosions, deaths, and mass injuries.

This affects every American, especially ones who live near a refinery, chemical plant, fertilizer facility, plastics complex, or industrial corridor.

When the illusion finally shatters, what’s left isn’t just disappointment,it’s total embarrassment.
The man you invested your faith in isn’t a savior at all, just an empty act stitched together with arrogance, noise, and relentless self-promotion.
All that confidence, all those grand promises, all the swagger,it collapses into something painfully small the moment it’s tested against reality.

There’s no hidden genius, no bold disruptor underneath it all.
Just a loud, impulsive figure flailing through responsibilities he clearly wasn’t equipped to handle, drowning incompetence in a flood of bluster.

In the end, what once looked like strength turns out to be nothing more than cheap theatrics.
Not leadership,just a gaudy performance.

A caricature.
A spectacle.

And the real sting isn’t that it was absurd,it’s realizing how long it took to admit you were taken in by all his bullshit....
