Recoil and retell
The MAGA mob yell
To have Pelosi and Pence yeeted.
There remains no good reason
Why the #MushroomCockTreason
Should never again be repeated.
Recruiting hivemind: I keep hearing about how AI is doing all kinds of stuff in resume reviews, prospect sourcing etc.

Is there ANY improvement in, like, actual hiring? Is it faster? Is anyone hiring better, faster, more because of AI?

“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.”

aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...
I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

Trumpcare: It can only good happen.

magaMorons would suddenly love universal healthcare if they were told it was tRump's idea & that Liberals hate it

'Secret' to universal healthcare was right in front of us whole time: just slap gold-plated 'TRUMPCARE' logo on it😜

"Trumpcare. It's best universal healthcare, everyone says so"

Zohran Mamdani has, as far as we know, never actually used the phrase "Globalize the Intifada" himself. But it has now just become an article of faith that he has, and everyone is going to act like he has until the end of the election.

Because Hegseth took the chickenshit path last time he renamed something, I recommend the Milk be renamed in honor of Daniel James White.

I dare ya. USNS White. Feel the power.

Harvey Milk served his country honorably — first in uniform, then in public office.

Taking his name off this Navy ship sends a clear message, and it’s one of disrespect and cruelty.

Yup. Being forced to pay taxes without any say in how those funds are spent is literally why we chucked King George for a constitutional republic.

Someone should ask Secretary McMahon if she knows when the fiscal year ends.

I’ll bet she has an A-1 response.

MURRAY: Will you allocate the $220m for literacy programs that Congress appropriated?

McMAHON: We're looking at the unallocated dollars to determine which of those programs we can best spend on

MURRAY: Those funds were appropriated. It looks to me like the dept is illegally impounding funding

maybe now isn't the time for Stephen Miller (or anyone at the White House) to do anything that even conservative media like the Washington Examiner would call a "pissing contest"?

We love to see it.
Keith Mines on LinkedIn: The battle of the logo. One of the first things DOGE did upon entering the U.S. Institute of Peace was tear down the logo. . . .and one of the first things we did upon recovering the building, was put it back up. It is a heck of a logo, packing a ton of history, culture, and aspiration into a small symbol. Hopefully the institute survives to continue to bring all that to life. (photo of man putting logo back on the wall)

We’re all looking for the guy who did this.
A screenshot of today’s New York Times report by Peter Baker. Baker’s lede contrasts the weeks-long “scandal” after a “furor erupted over reports” in 1994 that Hillary Clinton had made $100,000 on an investment 12 years earlier with the $28 million Melania Trump is pocketing from a film deal with Jeff Bezos, which, according to Baker, nobody gave a damn about. I have annotated the screenshot to note that Baker’s reference to Clinton’s profits hyperlinks a front-page 1994 New York Times article, while Baker’s reference to Melania’s profits hyperlinks a Wall Street Journal report, because the NYT did not cover the profits.

Trump: openly violates the Constitution.

Johnson: Get in loser, we’re openly violating international human rights law against collective punishment.
The prohibition of collective punishment in IHL dates back to Hague Convention (Il) of 1899. Art. 50 of the annexed Hague Regulations provides that "Injo general penalty, pecuniary or otherwise, can be inflicted upon the population on account of the acts of individuals for which they cannot be regarded as jointly and severally responsible." Art. 33(1) of the Fourth Geneva Convention (GC IV), adopted unanimously by states, contains a similar but more specific prohibition, providing that "Injo protected person may be punished for an offence he or she has not personally committed. Collective penalties and likewise all measures of intimidation or of terrorism are prohibited." The ICRC Commentary to GC IV makes clear that the provision is very broad, not limited to judicial penalties, and rules out collective punishment based on the "passive responsibility" of a civilian population: opiniojuris.org

I will never forget learning the hard way that Ruby Memorial hospital in Morgantown turns its entire parking lot over to the WVU football stadium on game days to make extra cash.

I have spent over $400 at the hospital on just parking in the past 40 or so days.

People think the trick to learning is practice. It’s not. It’s feedback. Trump lies all the time, and he still sucks at it because no one can tell him he sucks at it.

For very good reason, Trump is the most loathed person in the world. West Point graduates deserved better. As a matter of fact, we all deserve better. 😳👇

You’re finally graduating from West Point after chasing this moment for at least eight years, countless achievements, sacrifices, and interviews…and your commencement speaker is Temu Hugh Hefner.

Trump's West Point commencement audience is totally silent as he rants about trophy wives and yachts

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few:
1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.
