Excellent piece by @donmoyn.bsky.social about the shallow, incompetent cabal of $h1tposters pretending to be an administration - and who cannot differentiate between "content", memes, and governance.
Donald Trump Has Built a Clicktatorship
Even the administration’s budget proposals read like Truth Social posts.

Apparently there was a city meeting in Hutchins, Texas, tonight. Hutchins is the location of DHS's newly announced 10,000-person concentration camp. What I've been told is that city officials were unanimously and adamantly opposed to it.
Unfortunately, I'm seeing this nowhere online.

And if Americans could cut out one meal and a couple hours of sleep each day, go back to 7-days-a-week, and forget about bathroom breaks, that would add another couple hundred bill, amirite, Mr. President?
They want us working earlier and til we die to pay for their tax cuts for the rich. Supervillains.

The Rideau Canal Skateway is having a moment, what with this weather. Lemons, lemonade - in the best Canadian tradition… Open for skaters of all abilities (or, in my case, even wobbly walkers in boots).

It’s funny - on most other topics, he knows more about it and is better at it than anyone else, like, ever. Except instances of his own corruption, at which point he turns into Mike Johnson.
Q: The WSJ reported that the royal family of Abu Dhabi invested hundreds of millions into your World Liberty Financial. Can you decide why you decided to take that investment?
TRUMP: Well, I don't know about it. I know that crypto is a big thing and they like it. My family is handling that.

I wonder when Americans will finally realize that all they need to reduce drug costs, is to have the government regulate the industry...? (Including, as Canada has done, protecting both the industry and the general population against attempted foreign predations and resulting shortages.)

ICYMI: The US is currently holding three times as many people in immigrant detention as were detained in the Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939 — six years into the Third Reich, and just before the start of World War II.

My mom's little cousin, Claus Nolke, was sent to a camp by the Nazis, to escape the fallout from the war they had started. Not a detention camp, but when it's run by fascists, what's the difference? He died there of scarlet fever; his parents found out when they were sent his ashes in the mail.
Anne Frank likely died in a typhus epidemic that spread through the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp
History rhymes, it rhymes
Close the camps, set fire to the prisons

It's a joint venture: ICE provides the concentration camp, and RFKJr's HHS provides the measles.

The Kennedy Center is the embodiment of Trump's failure. He put his name on => no one performs or attends => it dies. The shutdown is a transparent move to plaster over that failure; the Center's physical destruction would be a balm to the world's most thin-skinned narcissist. Congress must move.
A reminder that the Kennedy Center is the literal and legal and congressional designated presidential memorial to JFK. This would be like Trump tearing down the Lincoln Memorial to build something “better.”
He’s going to tear it down

The unreasonable use of force (disciplinary & criminal offences) are about witness intimidation (criminal offence) and suppression of dissent (violation of constitutional rights). ZERO to do with immigration enforcement.

JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.
Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.
With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.
Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

I hope someone keeps track of all the instances of grift, grand corruption, and conflict of interest, and all $$$ flowing into Trump family coffers in direct violation of US law and the Emoluments Clause. Prima facie criminal behaviour cannot possibly fall under SCOTUS' "immunity for official acts".
So… a bribe?
Trump got $500 Million and U.A.E. got “tightly guarded” A.I. chips. How is this not a bribe, exactly?

I found the first investigative file from the first complainant against Epstein in 2005.
There are descriptions from the officer, over several interviews of the girl, of her pulling her knees up on the chair, drawing doodles, & the officer high-fiving her to keep her calm as she speaks of horror.

This ruling (ignoring the unfortunate date typo that some people sare getting hung up on) should be printed out and pinned to every door that risks being smashed in by ICE.
I don’t know if I’ve ever read a judicial ruling that radiates this much righteous contempt for the executive branch in my lifetime:
“Apparent also is the government's ignorance of an American historical document called the Declaration of Independence.“

Denigrating Canada is part of the GOP playbook. They hate living next to a state with effective gun control; universal healthcare; reproductive & LGBTQ rights; strict campaign contribution limits; parental leave; a non-corrupt Supreme Court... Oh, and we recycle. Setting a horrible example, we are!
"There’s no talk about a mutually beneficial relationship; Canada, Trump says, is not even a vassal state. Its very existence is dependent on the US, which means it is dependent on him personally. 'Canada lives because of the US,' he says, like a domestic abuser sneering." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

I remember during a brief stint working on air & space law in the 1990s, an international working group on space debris. You know, the stuff that makes holes in manned spacecraft...? Any official involved in OK'ing this idiotic venture should be made to sit through a mandatory showing of "Gravity".
