I have no idea what the trending topic USMNT means but I'd like to pretend it stands for US Mutant Ninja Turtles and it's about teams of ninja turtles facing off against each other.

“Hey quick follow up for the History Respecter — what aspect of the Confederacy are you *most* proud of?
The treason against the United States? The defense of slavery? All the losing? I bet it’s the losing.”

Hegseth on restoring a Confederate monument in Arlington cemetery: "We recognize our history. We don't erase it. We don't follow the woke lemmings off the cliff that want to tear down statues ... we're proud of our history."

Brett Meiselas: The more Trump talks, the guiltier he seems...Whatever's in the files has to be so bad he called them a hoax, accused Obama of treason, shut down the Epstein investigation, recessed Congress, rushed his attorney to the federal prison to offer Epstein's accomplice an immunity deal...

This explanation by @velshi.com of what Trump is doing with ICE, while hollowing out the FBI, is dead on the money. We need to pay attention now, before it's too late. I had the good fortune to join him for this segment. Do not miss this. www.msnbc.com/ali-velshi/w...
'Blatantly unconstitutional’: Democracy professor on ICE tactics
ICE targeting students who have criticized the Trump administration is “blatantly unconstitutional,” warns professor of democracy Lucan Ahmad Way. “You can't simply racially profile or profile people based on their national origin and start pulling them off the streets,” says Joyce Vance. “That, by definition, is a police state.” With an explosion of new funding for ICE, as part of the GOP’s megabill, there’s yet more reason to be alarmed. With a rapid expansion of ICE, the danger, says Vance, “is that the people in charge are no longer the career officials with training who understand loyalty to the Constitution. These are quite literally people who understand loyalty to Donald Trump.”

I have three hearings at three different courthouses today. At the second, someone was sobbing outside the courtroom. They'd asked ChatGPT what to say in Court. They believed what it told them.
They lost because it hallucinated, and they didn't know there were no do-overs.

This! I can't get over people thinking it's easy to get on these programs. It's not easy even if you qualify.

Be real. If you were a third-generation farmer eking out a living in the dry valleys of Utah, and your most valuable asset was the water rights that attach to your land, giving up that water for a plan that might or might not save the Great Salt Lake from turning to dust would seem foolish at best.

Who's responsible for the climate crisis?
Two new studies try to answer this question: but whichever way we slice it, the answer doesn't change much.
The wealthiest are disproportionately responsible for the greatest emissions, and that's why climate change is so unfair.
