CONFIRMED: the gold snot covering the Oval Office is $58-apiece onlays from Home Depot that have been spraypainted.
When Laura Ingraham confronted Trump about this in the Oval—specifically and correctly noting that the tacky garbage was from Home Depot—he lied to her face and insisted it wasn't.

Hegseth is a misogynist. Didn't anyone pick that up during his confirmation hearings?
Like Catholic nationalists during Franco, today's Christian nationalists want women to make babies and keep house.

We’ve got the new Sheriff-elect on @allinwithchris.bsky.social tonight!
Trump flipped Bucks County, a swing county in Pennsylvania, last year.
The GOP sheriff enthusiastically followed his lead, partnering with ICE to help Trump’s deportations.
Dems flipped the office by 11% last week, ousting the sheriff after promising to end the ICE contact.

Newsom is right.
Trump ceded renewable energy manufacturing to China in his first term. Now he's cementing China's dominant position in the world.
This has implications for AI, of course, which needs electricity. China will have plenty, the US will not.

AI is a problem for authoritarian regimes, as Trump's own chatbot shows.
It's funny to hear Truth Social contradict Trump so definitively, but the truth is AI models have little value if they're trained on fiction--except perhaps at writing fiction.

Forget about AI bubbles. This crashed the world economy in 2008 and Rs are bringing it back.
These kinds of things happened two decades ago under the last Republican president. A lot of people made a lot of short term money. Then it all came crashing down and his successor had to clean up a huge mess. Here we go again.

Watched a La Liga F game this weekend at the Barça compound which includes the Johan Cruyff stadium and several practice fields.
Barça was ahead 8-0 against Abanca at half time, so I wandered over to watch the women's C-team in a much closer match.
