4:30 p.m. on a Friday, and there are *5* emergency applications from the Trump administration pending at #SCOTUS:

1) Slaughter (FTC removal);
2) Global Health Council (pocket rescissions);
3) Cook (Fed Board removal for "cause");
4) Orr (gender identity on passports); and
5) Noem (Venezuela TPS).

🚨 Just hours after 3 armed Russian Mig-31s flew the entire length of Estonian airspace in 12 minutes with no response from NATO, two more Russian jets performed a low pass over Polish Baltic drilling platform, violating the Polish safety zone.

I am just going to keep posting that the TX governor recently pardoned a political murderer.

The dude texted "I'm going to shoot protestors", then went and shot a Black Lives Matter protester. He was convicted in a jury trial.

Hard to find a more blatant example of celebrating political violence.
Gov. Greg Abbott pardons Daniel Perry, veteran who killed police brutality protester in 2020
A Travis County jury sentenced Perry to 25 years in prison last year, prompting Abbott to ask the state parole board to review his case.

The guy who nearly got people killed spreading Pizzagate. Who called for an end to American democracy *last year*. Who told his followers to “take the path of the hunter … we are going to make them the prey."

We’re watching this country collectively descend into madness.
I'd list all the things Jack Posobiec is known for, but I think it would get me banned on Bluesky in the current environment of automated moderation.

Let's just say he has an extensive page at the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Anyway, CBS News is talking with Posobiec about his friend Charlie Kirk.

In other news, Lisa Murkowski could have voted to release the Epstein Files, bringing the vote to 50-50 and forcing JD Vance to cast a tie-breaking vote.

Instead, she caved to Trump and the GOP leadership.

Again.

The only way to listen to Trump's incoherent babbling and lies.
This is Trump’s answer to a question about the Epstein files without his voice or face. As usual President Trump got extremely defense and changed the subject immediately. Why is he not releasing the files? What is he hiding?

The Trump admin has a new propaganda video claiming that DHS is "safeguarding our culture and shared values."

Micah Bock, the Trump appointee in the video, was accused in college of rubbing his erection against a sleeping woman and claiming she was "asking for it."

Several anti-ICE protestors on the Ohio-Kentucky border.

This is how the police dealt with them.
