This is a patently insane story. The BBC didn't misrepresent Trump's speech. He sent them to the Capital and claimed he would be with them.
The January 6th Committee provided unrebutted evidence that makes it clear he meant for that to occur.
Orwell would be ashamed of the BBC.

The BBC says it received a letter from President Trump threatening legal action over the editing of his Jan. 6, 2021, speech.

Hiding the legacy of racism is racism.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

The longer the Jury deliberations go on in the "sandwich guy" trial, the odds that one juror throws a sandwich at another juror, in order to prove a point, approach 100%.

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

Has no one on the Supreme Court bothered to learn the relevant history of England that lead up to the Revolutionary War here?
The power to impose/set and collect tariffs caused multiple rebellions in England. It was a primary cause of the Revolutionary War.
They seem ignorant of this.

Wow, the majority on the Supreme Court is just completely willing to debase themselves with obviously dumb and bad faith arguments on this tariff issue. It's sort of amazing how willing powerful men are willing to debase themselves for Trump. I just don't understand it.

mamdani is human. he'll fuck up and fail, especially with a hostile press and the giant mess that is nyc's politics. but today is a great day for the brave women who told what cuomo did, and for those of us who care that it should matter. that power shouldn't go to those who hurt the poweless.
I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

Johnson: "If they had no filibuster, they would pack the SCOTUS. You'd go from 9 to 17 or however many liberals they could pack. You would make DC & Puerto Rico into states, which would give 4 additional Democrat senators & make us a permanent minority. You'd see massive restrictions of 2A rights"

DHS has used the Statute of Liberty's likeness in at least 16 ICE recruiting posters it posted to its X account in the last two months.
Lady Liberty had been "permanently stamped" as "the role of unofficial greeter of incoming immigrants."
DHS is clearly seeking to change that perception.

Two US Army personnel deployed at Atlantic Ave/Barclays Subway station in Brooklyn, NY this morning at 10 AM. Unclear why. Passive and courteous demeanor at time.
Identities protected as it's not their fault they're deployed, no masks, and I observed no problematic behavior (beyond presence).

A reply to composite I posted points out that the top left image (the most recent one) is a direct copy of a WW2 era US Bonds poster (just with different text).
So not AI, just an example of 1940s propaganda being rehashed. The new one here, the original in @saulyoussef.bsky.social's post below.
