Trump's speech about the shooting in DC veered into him attacking the Somali community in Minnesota, which of course had nothing to do with the shooting. Gives away his bigoted game.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

Northern Ireland man from Lisburn kidnapped by Trump’s Ice raids because he “looked like a Mexican”. He had the correct visa, all his documents. He’s never been in trouble with police.
Held in terrible conditions. A fellow captive couldn’t get his medication and dropped dead of a heart attack

Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy, a physician, voted to confirm anti-vaxxer RFK Jr. as health secretary because Cassidy thinks his re-election is more important than whether children die of measles or are crippled by polio.

In shocking news, deal with the devil turns out to have some downsides
Sen. Lisa Murkowski said she feels “cheated” after she won a concession in the tax and spending bill to protect wind and solar projects, only to see the Trump administration issue orders that she said seem designed to quash such projects.
Sen. Murkowski, feeling ‘cheated’ by Trump actions against wind and solar, says she’ll go to bat for Alaska projects
Murkowski won a concession in the Big, Beautiful Bill to protect tax credits for 12 months for wind and solar. But she said a recent presidential order and Interior directive undercut those plans.

Memo to Murkowski:
when you’re the swing vote of the entire bill, you don’t need a bailout to save your state.
You just vote NO and save your state AND all the others. And the country too.
No one’s fooled.
Shame.

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously
But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state
Keep that same energy of support for her

No context for this, just a heads up: the secure USAF high frequency network used for strategic and nuclear command is now active, with two callsigns Rhetoric and Compress.
Can’t tell right now if it’s high-level ops or routine.
You have been informed.
