One fascinating aspect of the Trump administration is that the Secretary of State has multiple other jobs but multiple people also act like they’re Secretary of State.

“Trump’s family has deals to build luxury resorts and hotels in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Oman. And their crypto firm will be used by the UAE to make a $2B deal— netting the Trumps hundreds of millions of dollars. His ‘diplomatic trips’ are blatant self-enrichment opportunities.” @rbreich.bsky.social

Congress wrote into the law that someone who overstays a visa while applying for asylum is not considered to be accruing “unlawful presence,” but it didn’t explicitly say those people couldn’t be arrested and detained — because it was presumed that they wouldn’t be. Well, Trump is doing it.
We came to LA as refugees from the USSR in 1991. Life wasn’t easy, but we persevered and, I dare say, came to contribute something of worth to this nation.

Had I experienced the following when I was a boy, I don’t know what would have become of me.

Tyson Foods announces that they’ll be closing a major beef-processing plant in Lexington, Nebraska with 3,200 employees.

Lexington has a population of 11,205.

Nebraska overwhelmingly voted for the orange felon over VP Kamala Harris.

I hope they’re enjoying their vote.

Imagine the protest signs women will be carrying.
It would be terrible if the tables were turned and “Piggy” became the president’s new nickname, all day, all the time, all across the US.

Chose your platforms wisely.
“The FBI gained access to conversations in a ‘courtwatch’ Signal group that helps coordinate volunteer activists who monitor public proceedings at three New York federal immigration courts. The US government has repeatedly been accused of violating immigrants’ due process rights at those courts.”

Protest works, but people shouldn't have to protest the obvious. Is every branch and agency under this regime tasked with testing We the People?

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

Trump has reportedly been in conversation with Paramount and his billionaire ally Larry Ellison about a potential takeover of CNN that would include firing journalists he dislikes.

Billionaire control of the media is a danger to us all.

It's a brave, new world of reality.
If you're trying to convince your friends to spend time on Bluesky rather than X, maybe show them this. X is not "the public town square" or about "free speech." It's "just what Elon Musk wants you to see." If you see stuff he doesn't like he'll step in to make sure you don't see it for long.
If you scroll on X, you are only being shown what Elon wants you to see. If you create content on X, no one will see it unless Elon wants them to.

Seditious behavior punishable? Was J6 not seditious behavior?
🤬Trump needs to be impeached, removed from office, and locked up in The Hague!
This is not the first time he utters vile verbiage, and it won’t be the last!
Lock him up! 🤬

Facts matter. Kari Lake and Tucker Carlson are Orban fans.
Kari Lake was a guest of Orban in 2023, and Tucker Carlson’s father Richard who just passed away this spring and was a lobbyist for Orban for years, ran the VOA under Reagan in the Eighties.

Leavitt Listening? Not n this case.
REPORTER: “Trump accused the other side of encouraging political violence. Isn't that what he is doing?”

LEAVITT: “Why aren't you talking about what members of congress are doing telling the military not to follow lawful orders?”

REPORTER: “Actually, they said ILLEGAL orders.”
