UPDATE: Trump said he and Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu talked Tuesday about relocating Palestinians and leveling Gaza, which he suggested could be the “Riviera of the Middle East” under U.S. ownership.

Even if Los Angeles were low on water, Trump’s executive orders wouldn’t help with that, because the federal government’s canal system doesn’t actually deliver any water to the Los Angeles area.

From @gristnews.bsky.social via @climatedesk.org:
Trump's claim of routing water to Los Angeles is hogwash. It all goes to Central Valley megafarms.
"It’s an attempt to tie water supply to a natural disaster, but those connections don’t exist in reality.”

BREAKING -- Trump to issue executive order claiming to end birthright citizenship.

This is plainly unconstitutional, directly contrary to the 14th Amendment.

It will be challenged -- and the courts will strike it down.

From monumental legislative successes to steady leadership amid our nation’s greatest challenges, Joe Biden gave us 4 years of reunification, recovery, and revitalization. Trump will try to steal the credit, but it was Biden who delivered it for us. Thank you, President Biden.

So how about an intense JWST image of a pair of colossal stars whizzing past each other and blasting out wave after wave of dusty shells, expanding away at a soul-freezing NINE MILLION KPH?!

The next time you’re invited to your partner’s terrible work event, “pull a Michelle Obama,” Caitlin Flanagan writes. “Put your feet up, enjoy a steady blood pressure, and fill three hours of your life any way you see fit”:
Michelle Doesn’t Want to Go to Barack’s Work Thing
And that’s her right.

The idea that a president can issue an executive order that overrides Congress, while it may be appealing to everyone who wants TikTok back and agrees that the TikTok ban is a first amendment violation, is actually illegal dictator shit

Annnnd there it is. There’s the scam.

Just FYI, we won’t use TikTok if Trump, Musk, Bezos, or Zuck have anything to do with its ownership.

Hope that helps 👍

Folks, we’re being manipulated! TikTok went dark last night, ahead of the deadline, pushing propaganda that Trump will “save the day.”

Now, Trump plans to sign an exec order on Monday giving TikTok more time to find a buyer before a US ban takes effect. Now he’s a hero, especially for young folks.

I completely understand TikTok creators being upset that they are losing income. I don’t understand being upset at Dems when Trump & Rs are the ones who started this. Now they suddenly reverse their position to enrich themselves. Wake up, open your eyes, you’re being conned.

Judge Aileen Cannon was appointed by Donald Trump.

It was Judge Cannon who dismissed Trump's classified documents case.

Now she's trying to block Jack Smith from releasing a final report summarizing findings from his investigations into Trump.

See how the MAGA world works?
Judge Cannon Blocks Release of Jack Smith’s Report on Trump Documents Investigation
Judge Aileen M. Cannon, a Trump appointee who had dismissed the documents case in its entirety, temporarily barred the Justice Department from releasing Jack Smith’s account of his investigation.
