bill living rent-free in trump's head: maher-a-lago

If still debating whether Donald Trump or Elon Musk willfully crippled Ukraine's missile defense, helping to slay innocent civilians, you are a rube. If the U.S. President had no role, then an oligarch governs national security. If not, the U.S. President serves Russia. Both answers are mortifying.

It was “shithole” and now he’s admitting it.

Illegal, but what are laws?

An interesting read.

What did they think these things would be used for?

NEW: A bird flu outbreak has been raging uncontrolled on a Utah mink farm for two months. Flu experts fear it could spark a devastating human pandemic. But officials haven’t acted — instead prioritizing the financial interests of the fur trade.

Fit as a fiddle.

“…language was being treated as a mere technology for completing a task or satisfying a tester, not as a route to self-expression or understanding.”

To Beltway elites, folks like Susan Collins, Lindsey Graham and Jim Clyburn symbolized the "Good Washington" that was soiled by the uncouth Trump But here they are in steakhouses ripping off taxpayers with bogus contracts in return for campaign cash Yo, pundits, your life is based around a lie

This was not in my plans for the day.

“OX did not try to enter the mass market or topple the intelligentsia. Rather, it was eager to create a parallel world of pleasure.”

The law says no such thing. And to play this game with any reporter marks you as an idiotic blowhard -- which nowadays equates to merely being a garden-variety political hack. But to do it and target a student journalist? You are the Platonic ideal of a unwiped asshole, which equates to Andy Harris.

“Sir, we are cratering in the polls, please try and not do anything nuts for the next month. Maybe on social, just keep it benign.” “Like what?” “I don’t know. People like animals. A lot of people just post like cat videos and stuff.” “Gotcha, say no more.”

Nailed it. Even got in that assuring nod.

Tapper: "How worried are Republicans about Paxton losing? Well, we've apparently reached a brand new campaign stage where the VP is insinuating that the Texas Democratic Senate nominee, James Talarico, is gay ... not exactly the sign of a party convinced they can win on their record or ideas"

Trump in the Oval, alone, seeing this quote. He rubs his forehead. He goes to the window, stares out over the great city. Has he, in fact, betrayed the legacy of his late friend? The thought is too horrible to contemplate. "Heavy is the head," he thinks, quoting Henry IV Part II, his favorite play.

The fourth and final convicted gunman in the 2025 Young Park shooting was sentenced Friday to three consecutive life sentences, closing a chapter in the city’s worst mass casualty event in decades.

The developer behind a proposed data center in Grant County made its introduction to local residents Thursday, but county commissioners and a gallery packed with community members wanting to learn more about the project left with many questions unanswered.

You need to be afraid! You need to read this reporting so that you can be appropriately afraid! (Oh, and there's a paywall.)

““The infrastructure worked as it was supposed to, but we’re not planning to have two 100-year storms back-to-back.”

The state inspector warned that the dam would overtop in a 100-year flood event or a six-hour rainfall. For instance, the McLead partially overtopped during an August 2022 storm that brought more than 6 inches of rain to the valley, contributing to erosion of the dam’s downstream slope.

James Browning will oversee air quality permit case for Santa Teresa’s Project Jupiter data center.

OK, so yes, the chief got angry and cussed, but there's a richer story here about police agencies getting stuck with social problems in smaller communities.

Doña Ana County lifted its evacuation notice for the Hatch Valley community of Rincon on Wednesday afternoon, urging residents to be cautious of flooded roads and storm debris after heavy monsoon rains Tuesday breached a nearby arroyo and nearly caused a dam to fail in Garfield.

Hatch and neighboring communities evacuated as flooding worsens.

Crimes against humanity cleared by the highest court in the land.

Mike Johnson says opposition to data centers "is a Chinese psyop. I really believe that. That's not a conspiracy theory."

“Knows how to win…knows how to fight…knows how to ‘message’…” says little about his ethics. But his record sure does. Hard, hard pass.

In January, I told you about an awful act involving the murder of a child in Mimbres. A 10-minute hearing brought the matter to a conclusion, but the memory will hit a little if people hard for a long time. Here’s how it went. You can read it or, better, hug a kid.

Tech companies suddenly decide they can, in fact, moderate content on their platforms after all

The radical leftists at the … Kansas Livestock Association … are mad abou ICE: “The sudden workforce disruptions caused by ICE has led to numerous chokepoints in the system. Reports include thousands of fed cattle delayed in shipping to processors, resulting in millions of dollars in lost revenue.”

“…logging in after a while away, it was painfully clear just how broken it all was. All the things that made social media so vital a decade or two ago have fallen apart, replaced by algorithms, engagement hacks, and endless, bottomless, screaming.”

Me, checking my local bookstore for this and looking surprised-disappointed.

Meanwhile, on Thursday morning, there are reports that all three outlets are still barred from the White House in defiance of a court order that their reporters be admitted.

Australia is investigating whether OpenAI broke the law after an agent hacked into its health statistics portal. It is the first widely known incident of an AI agent hacking a government website.

lol

So confused. How was Pro Publica able to uncover and report this bribery scandal and administration cover-up without being at the White House and having the president assuring them they are stupid piggies? hhttps://www.propublica.org/article/fbi-susan-collins-navatek-campaign-donations-investigation
