How long until we find out that the pardoned turkeys funneled millions of dollars to the Trump family buying their cryptocurrency? 🤔

There is a story about two white men from Texas who were plotting to invade a Haitian island, k**l all the men, and enslave all the women and children there.
On the one hand, I'm glad that they got booked. On the other hand, I would've loved to have seen what would've happened if they tried.

Tom Friedman’s piece in the NYT today again brings up the specter of Neville Chamberlain in ‘39. I disagree.
A better analogy is saying to Hitler: “keep the Sudetenland, don’t worry about the Holocaust, & we’ll give you a few years to rearm to attack into Belgium again. Let’s sign that!”

@nicollewallace.bsky.social @mcfaulmike.bsky.social @benrhodes.bsky.social @markhertling.bsky.social have we lost all ability to put oneself in someone else’s shoes? If not, then why is this hard? We’d never consider a proposal like the one we/Putin (gross) offered Ukraine

The Epstein emails “together sketch a devastating epistolary portrait of how our social order functions, and for whom,” Anand Giridharadas writes. “Saying that isn’t extreme. The way this elite operates is.”
Opinion | How the Elite Behave When No One Is Watching: Inside the Epstein Emails
This power elite was already used to ignoring the powerless. Redeeming a disgraced sex offender was a logical next step.

I think the situation room is for a particular kind of situation, not for situations generally, even though I agree that this is a situation.
Q: "Why are White House officials…meeting with Rep. Boebert in an effort to try to get her to not sign this petition calling for the release of the [Epstein] files?"
Leavitt: "I'm not going to detail conversations that took place in the situation room."

A tech billionaire mocked Pope Leo XIV’s call for ethical AI.
The post was deleted — but not before exposing Silicon Valley’s deeper discomfort: a pope they can’t buy or bully.
It also revealed something older: the Valley’s original sin — the desire to be God.

Tech Billionaire Mocks Pope Leo’s AI Warning — and Reveals Silicon Valley’s Original Sin
A billionaire tech guru openly mocked Leo's call for moral AI — and quickly backtracked after backlash. It’s a telling collision of Silicon Valley hubris with a pope they cannot buy, bully, or ignore.
