I’m telling you she’s the Jacuzzi bath remodel lady. *
1. Trump’s new White House press secretary, Katie Zacharia, says she is a lawyer. She has claimed to be a lawyer repeatedly on national TV, on podcasts, and on social media. But there is no evidence that Zacharia has ever been licensed to practice law.

Good. Also leads me to believe Tompkins County DA will be resigning.
Can someone explain to me like I'm five how this happens? In countries where legal, I can book an assisted death and guarantee success 100 out of 100 times. And also, I'm absolutely aware that the death penalty has zero benefits and costs more than life in prison.
Cool 🙄. Since SCOTUS destroyed any real impact the FTC once had, this is at best a dog and pony show, but more accurately a market manipulation effort.
🤡🚗 “Yes, I did file late, but that’s because I waited on the stupid Republican Party,” she said. “I won’t do that again.”
I'd laugh at this nonsense of I didn't have a feeling it was precursor to a government bailout when the AI bubble bursts and "Super Intelligence," aka over-leveraged billionaire investments are suddenly too big, er.. too smart, to fail.
Trump: "We're gonna be signing a document today renaming artificial intelligence, because it's not artificial. We're gonna be naming it Super Intelligence. Officially renaming it."
Fantastic. Even if he'll be paying with dirty crypto money.
Good point. It's never Healthcare Week.
Brett Meiselas: If we’re going to get into a “race” against China like with AI, why is it never like... We’re going to get into an affordable healthcare race! We’re going to get into an infrastructure race and beat them in high-speed rail! We’re going to beat China in the affordable housing race!

Perhaps one of the most impactful donations you can make. And yes, I too am inundated with requests, but this is a really important one.
We must win the midterms if we want to expand the court and hold these fascists accountable. That’s why we’re kicking off the Blue Wave Nation impact fund today: direct support for democrats in flippable districts. Please share widely! #BlueWaveIn60Days secure.actblue.com/donate/mswbl...

Since yesterday, immigration and other law enforcement have inflicted terror and chaos on residents of LA. The leader of California's largest union was among those arrested for protesting ICE's cruelty. Congress must hold President Trump accountable and stop him from terrorizing our communities.
