I'm not a West Wing obsessed lib or anything but the more I see pictures of this the more fucked up I think it is. It's like he cut off one of the hands of the Lincoln memorial with an angle grinder so he could add a big gun to it.

Washington DC needs statehood like never before.
Democrats have failed to prioritize it in the past. Maybe this latest authoritarian Trump move will wake them up.

Epstein grand jury transcripts include testimony from only two witnesses, feds say
The disclosure raises questions whether the Justice Department’s attempts to unseal the transcripts will satiate the appetite for more information.

I think it's weird that it's illegal to run a background check on ammo purchases, but required to run a background check to get a passport. The right to travel is just as much a Constitutional right as the Second Amendment. Obtaining a passport should be automatic per citizenship.
9th Circuit says CA law on background checks for ammo is unconstitutional
Thursday's ruling stems from a lawsuit brought in San Diego by a coalition of gun owners and gun rights groups that alleged the law infringed on the Second Amendment rights of California residents.

The Pentagon just announced a no-bid contract that will be awarded to Palantir for "the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the field of geospatial intelligence."
This means Palantir will have unprecedented access to maps, satellite imagery, GPS data, and more.
