I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

It's outrageous that zoning appeals were granted to Camp Mystic.

“Flood maps developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency placed much of the camp within a 100-year flood zone. Camp Mystic successfully challenged those designations."

How do we verify/confirm this? What can be done?

Bad Journalism:
1. Reporting TikTok may shut down Sunday w/o mentioning that the bipartisan law was a Donald Trump demand.
2. Failing to report that Trump's money man Elon Musk wants to buy the app.
3. Failing to report the Trump says he's now pro TikTok because these days "I'm a star" on the app.

Election misinformation — We need an equivalent of the Federal Trade Commission to protect American voters against politicians who lie. The FTC protects consumers against manufacturers lying about products, and enforces laws against deceptive advertising.

@support.bsky.team: BlueSky's sole response emoji is inadequate. I would like other options, such as 👎 or 😡.

'[McConnell] doesn't know if the US will spend more on Ukraine military aid but 'the goal here is for the Russians not to win'. Of Ukraine and Israel, he says, 'We've got two democratic allies fighting for their lives. I don't think we ought to micromanage what they think is necessary to win.'"

File this under “Unintended Consequences” - Trump’s proposed tariffs are causing our trading partners to find other markets for their products. If they form a new trading block which omits the US, it could put American companies at a disadvantage.
