The military takeover of Washington is not a “distraction” from Epstein. It’s a military takeover of Washington, which is an even bigger deal, and those of us who kill brain cells reporting on this stuff knows it’s been an explicit goal since before the election.

i will never not be amused by how the conservative world is governed by the kind of “affirmative action” they say happens in mainstream institutions. totally unqualified dipshits are handed the keys to institutions because they say the right thing and have the right look.

The FAA will now let commercial drones fly beyond the operator’s line of sight.
The move will "unleash American drone dominance," Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said.
As a result, Duffy said, " You may get a Starbucks cup of coffee from a drone."

I'm not sure of the cause -- some blame K-12 shifts to "chunk reading" while others pin it on COVID -- but it's undeniable.

The Trump regime is about to burn 500 tons of USAID emergency food. Why?
Because it expired after its shipment was delayed.
1.5 million children could have eaten for a week. Now, taxpayers will spend $130K for it to be destroyed.
This isn’t just inefficient – it’s cruel.

best way to do this is continuing to bring up Musk's criticism of the bill
I’m not expecting it to happen but there’s a nonzero chance that Trump gets pissed enough at some point that he starts yanking existing federal contracts away from Elon and that would be the funniest possible outcome of any of this

I'm not going to stop saying this. We need to stop calling it "deporting." It may not always be fair or humane, but deportation has a process. And it means you're sent back to where you came from. These people are being trafficked and sold to slave prisons. Not deported.
