Trump says he’s designating “antifa” a terrorist group and launching a probe into finding of antifa activities. The FBI has long said antifa doesn’t really have a centralized structure or leadership.

RIP to a guy I will always immediately picture/hear yelling “THE SCOLERI BROTHERS!”
Harris Yulin, the ever-present Emmy-nominated actor who appeared in such films as Scarface, Clear and Present Danger and Training Day and on television in Frasier, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Ozark, has died. He was 87.

52 percent of Americans approve of sending people to gulags. You can't tell me there isn't something wrong with us.

In 1977, the late Ed Sadlowski, the Steel Workers' radical, offered a rejoinder to Trump's essentialist vision: "the ultimate goal of organized labor is for no man to have to go down in the bowels of the earth and dig coal," said Sadlowski, "No man will have to be subjected to the blast furnace."
Trump: "One thing I learned about the coal miners -- that's what they want to do. You could give them a penthouse on 5th Avenue and a different kind of a job and they'd be unhappy. They want to mine coal. She was gonna put them in a high tech industry where you make little cell phones and things."

Has congress passed a law superseding or eliminating the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961?
Has the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional?
Then why are journalists reporting that Trump and Musk are "shutting down" USAID. They are not authorized to do so.

also, knowing that USAID does democracy promotion abroad, to what extent is Elon sending sensitive information about American workers abroad to rival governments and right-wing political movements?
A deadly serious bureaucratic-legal question. What formal position does Musk currently hold & what authority does he have (“the president told me” doesn’t count) to shut down federal agencies & raid their secure material? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Trump moves to wrest control of USAID as Musk says ‘we’re shutting it down’
Billionaire and Trump ally Elon Musk said early Monday that his DOGE team is in the process of closing USAID, the world’s largest provider of food assistance.

All jokes aside it's really fucked up to see so many people on here celebrating murder. No one here is the judge of who deserves to live or die. That's the job of the AI algorithm the insurance company designed to maximise profits on your health and no one else
