Folks, the reporting is that Trump is making PERSONAL CALLS to Mace, MTG and others about the discharge petition. Would you be doing this if you had nothing to hide? Let's please all be serious here.

Conspiracies usually involve subterfuge and deception, but this one is a conspiracy of dunces who conspire in full public view — truly evil and despicable dunces but dunces nonetheless.
"This is all no big deal and the president is currently strategizing his response with his aides in the White House Situation Room. No big deal at all."
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."

every tiny crumb that leaks out is a career ending bombshell and we’re all just supposed to go on with our lives while our elected representatives shrug and tell us there’s nothing to be done about the president’s involvement in a child sex trafficking operation

i mean c’mon. the president’s best friend was the most notorious pedo in the country’s history who ran a massive child trafficking ring. every bit of circumstantial evidence we have says that trump was a participant. if this were a criminal trial we’d have enough evidence to compel a plea deal.

I started working on Certified Fresh Events (later CFE.dev) back in June 2016. The original intent was to build a series of in-person events but, to bootstrap the brand and audience, I decided to launch with online ones. The initial events were bigger than I expected, hitting my user limit caps.
Goodbye to CFE.dev
After 9+ years, it's time to say goodbye to CFE.dev. Join the core contributors to the site for a final farewell.

Here you are, innocently thinking to yourself, "Hey, it's the weekend. I can finally take a break from the non-stop Trump crazy train and just watch some sports." Turns out, authoritarian leaders intentionally invade every space of your life.

Judge McConnell basically walked them through the math, called all their arguments bullshit, and entered the order that the gov't stop playing games with the money while kids go hungry.

Didn't even give the gov't the chance to respond.

It's bizarre to me to see the transition of DevRel to mostly an on-site or hybrid role. It was common for DevRel teams to be remote when I started ~15 years ago — even in companies that were otherwise entirely on site. It feels unnecessary and short-sighted but what else is new in tech these days?

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

In addition, they don't know their identities but can ascertain that they are "three hops away" from a known drug trafficker. Those two contentions seem contradictory.
Off the top of my head, in terms of degrees of separation I managed to get from myself to *Jimi Hendrix* in "three hops," this is a WILD assertion to make

It’s a sad day when a judge has to order the President of the United States to feed vulnerable families and hungry children with funds already designated for that very purpose.
