Normally, it's a problem if you say something to a federal court then the next day go online and admit you lied, but we're only talking about the President, the DOJ, and the US Attorneys lying about his plan to illegally withhold funds to starve people, so there likely won't be any consequences.
Trump says the SNAP money that he’s been ordered by a court to release won’t be released until the government shutdown ends.

Pity the nation whose leaders are liars
Whose sages are silenced and whose bigots haunt the airwaves
Pity the nation that praises conquerors & acclaims the bully as hero
Pity the people who allow their freedoms to erode & their rights to be washed away
My country tears of thee
Sweet land of liberty!

There are laws about how to interdict suspected criminals on the high seas.

There are laws about how to renovate federal buildings.

There are laws about how not to monetize the presidency.

There are laws. We should enforce them. And not normalize the flagrant violation of them in the newspapers.

I know Charlie Kirk valued debate and free speech because he blocked me for fact-checking his lies on Twitter and then put me on his organization's Professor Watchlist for writing a book he didn't like.

When you publish a website that posts the names and photos of scholars who have written or said things you disagree with and encourage people to surveil and harass them, you are not, in fact, a “free speech” organization.
It is quite simply dishonest to describe TPUSA as a “free speech” organization and not even mention the “Professor Watchlist,” as NPR just did. Reporting on a crime does not entail adopting the victim’s views.

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

I really hope the National Guard fuckery is a Taco move.
One reading of this is that he's calling for some sort of Illinois color revolution, another is that he's admitting he won't do what he's been threatening and there's no juice left in the whole "call in the national guard" strategy.

Wild when New York Times reporters are or are not allowed to opine.

If you think antivax lunatic RFK Jr. "makes good points" about COVID and vaccination, you can say so.

If you think the Trump administration's egregious rights violations are bad, you keep that out of the paper, don't be biased.

When Alice drank herself to death, Hank didn't even tell Dennis that his mother was dead. He moved to Switzerland, and remarried.

Dennis grew up alone. Served in Vietnam and came back struggling with PTSD, poverty, and trauma only to see his own face in papers, tv shows, toys, and merchandise.

A reminder that PhD students are also teachers. It'll be much harder to run undergraduate programs too with this change.
Trump admin planning to change student visas from lasting for duration of academic program to fixed 4-yr term, and then much harder to renew
Could destroy US ability to attract global talent, particularly those seeking advanced degrees in STEM. The median time to complete a PhD is 5.7 yrs per NSF.

Trump officials have proposed a new rule limiting international students to fixed periods of entry, making a U.S. education more precarious.

If Cracker Barrel had 1/4 a clue they'd point out that Steak and Shake is upset because they don't eat their own food.

I'd laugh since this isn't a left-wing thing but just a bunch of right-wingers being stupid. But.... Trumpers are shitting on the Constitution and calling it patriotism.

Russ Vought, Trump's Office of Management and Budget director, is driving this effort to hollow out the government.

He's been trying to make working conditions as miserable as possible for federal employees so they'll quit.

As he said in 2023, "We want to put them in trauma."
