... and he says nobody knows what a magnet is.
"Was it your brain?" "I have no idea what they analyzed." OK then...
Trump: I had an MRI and the result was outstanding.
Reporter: Was it your brain?
Trump: I have no idea what they analyzed, but whatever they analyzed, they analyzed it well.

Could there be a stronger, more profound witness to the #Trump administration's brand of Christianity?
What a photograph.
“Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…”
Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Ah yes, but we are living in the Golden Age of Mediocrity, where this is the best we can expect.
There are thousands of things like this in tech. Why is search bad in Gmail. Why does Bluetooth suck. Why are most streaming apps bad. Why is file transfer still annoying. Every day it feels like I've got random issues with tech stuff while these companies sink billions into AI
if microsoft just made outlook search not suck they'd see triple the productivity gains of any AI integration

From where I sit, almost everything this #Trump administration has done endangers lives - from food safety, to cutting medical and other research funds, to air travel safety ..... and on and on.
The bill to end the shutdown kills FDA food safety rules.
Just like public health, food safety isn’t flashy or exciting
When it’s functioning well, you barely notice it.
But it’s necessary for our survival.
Food borne illnesses have been on the rise & this cut will endanger lives l

Shutdown Deal Kills Food Safety Rules
After lobbyists spent big on the Trump administration and Democratic defectors, the government funding bill cut food-contamination rules and limited ultraprocessed-food research.

Yet #Trump expects them to be at his beck and call for any illegal, divisive, and self-serving purpose.
The man who called out war dead "suckers and losers" is indeed pure trash, and the fact that pretends to support the military is the most disgraceful thing ever.

That poor federal agent he will certainly have ptsd (post traumatic sandwich disorder) every time he walks by Subway or the subway.
