That’s… a new definition of refugee 🤨
Q: There are many people who fit the criteria of fleeing persecution. Afghans for example. But they're being denied refugee status. So why such an exception for the Afrikaners?
TRUMP ADMIN OFFICIAL: One of the criteria is making sure they can be assimilated easily into our country

I feel like OpenAI techbros know the gig is up because their lobbyists wouldn’t be trying to force this through for ten years unless they knew trouble was coming soon
This is insane. Republicans have inserted language into the budget reconciliation bill that would ban states from regulating AI in any capacity for 10 years.

It’s actually insane that there’s an argument happening here over whether the plane grift is “corruption”

Completely unnecessarily, from a preventable disease.
(Also, some of the “healthy” survivors will wind up sick or disabled, and I suppose falling into Kennedy’s basket of disposable people).

RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated.
“Only very sick kids should die from measles.”
No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die.
Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!

It’s not just academic for that person. How many people might die if foreign governments can surveil the president and his spaces? How exposed is the president to actual physical threats? And yet…anyone who says “no” gets expelled from government.

Imagine being the Air Force person tasked with signing off on “this plane is now secure enough for the President to use as a mobile command center.” You *have to*, at cost of your professional life. But you *can’t*—at cost of your professional life.

It’s especially galling that AG Pam Bondi personally wrote the memo approving the gift of the Qatari airplane. Her last job was as a lobbyist for Qatar! efile.fara.gov/docs/6415-Ex...

Since I administered the WH emoluments rules, let me explain why this is forbidden
Trump expressed interest in it before it was offered
He is going to use & benefit from it a while in office
And he's going to keep using it after he leaves!
Functionally, it's a gift to him & so it's illegal

Overseeing the presidential gift rules was among my duties as White House Ethics Czar -- so I know how it's supposed to work
The gift of this plane to Trump is illegal & unconstitutional
The AG & the WH Counsel oughtta be ashamed of themselves for allowing it

No person in the history of the US has made more money off being president and running for president. Not even close. Trump testified in his NY deposition that the value of “his brand” went from $3B to $10B the day he got elected in 2016. That was BEFORE most of his grifts. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Leavitt: "I think it's frankly ridiculous that anyone in this room would even suggest that President Trump is doing anything for his own benefit. He left a life of luxury and a life of running a very successful real estate empire for public service."
