FYI, Trump/Bondi loyalists are currently making a bid to take over the DC Bar: Her brother is running for President and Alicia Long (who I believe is US Attorney Ed Martin's chief deputy right now) is running for Treasurer.

Why is everything so dumb
Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used *transgenic* (genetically modified) mice.
Trump Decried Millions Spent 'Making Mice Transgender.' It Was Cancer and Asthma Research
President Trump falsely claimed that Biden spent $8 million on 'making mice transgender,' but the real research was for human health.

A priest just confronted Trump's fascism to his face. She's so incredibly brave.

Apple and Google would be absolute idiots to trust Trump on this. Whatever his EO says, they would be in violation of a duly enacted law if they continue to carry TikTok…which means that they would be under a sword of Damocles and Trump would have leverage over them for anything else he wants
Trump’s TikTok executive order is out - it directs the DOJ to promise app stores and services providers that it won’t enforce the law for 75 more days. And in true incoherent Trump fashion, it then also says the EO is not an enforceable promise here in 3(c). Perfect. www.theverge.com/2025/1/20/24...

1) he doesn’t have any friends
2) Beverly Hills is unaffected so far
3) even if it was being ‘decimated’, the fact that his concern in this moment is only for rich folks and the ‘biggest most valuable homes’ tells you everything about this pathetic man.

Trump: I know those areas very well. I have many friends living in those houses. That is a true tragedy. Nobody ever thought -- I mean virtually Beverly Hills and areas around Beverly an are being decimated.

This is a photo of Trump and his supporters in Waco with their hands over their hearts while a pro-January 6 insurrection anthem plays.
The screen is playing footage of MAGA insurrectionists attacking the Capitol.
This is not normal. No matter who is in the White House.
