I suspect that decades from now, the smiling people in the background will be immortalized in the same way as the people jeering at Black students integrating schools in the 1950s and 60s. The moment will pass, but the photos will last forever.

Trump Unleashes Racist Tirade That should be the headline in every newspaper.

Trump: "Somalia -- 98% of the people here now from Somalia don't work. They don't have to work because they steal so much. They all have a Mercedes Benz. Low IQ and they live better than you do."

Troy Jackson: "Elon Musk is running ads for you. In fact, they're running ads in Portland, Oregon, for you. But you also got an ad where you use a Teamster official saying that he supports you. He's asked you for a cease and desist."

Troy Jackson to Susan Collins: "I don't have Donald Trump getting me out of investigations like you do"

Oh, that Sounds Fantastic! Trump WARNS voters: “If Democrats win the midterms, everything we've done, we'll never be able to do it again.”

New in PN: “Project Meridian” is the stuff of satire "Leading this project of ruthless mapping will be 'three of our nation’s best minds:' Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey, and Newt Gingrich. In other words — at the risk of being unkind — a weirdo, a beardo, and a fatty."

JON STEWART: “So in the FUTURE we WILL use A.I. to cure diseases… but right now it’s mostly murder, surveillance, and surge pricing for the McRib — What a trade! I’m getting the sense you guys might be full of shit.”

Tump is actually punishing American taxpayers, with taxes, for not holding him in awe enough to his liking.

Dan Osborn on Fox News: "Pete Ricketts is weak. He kneels to AIPAC, he kneels to defense contractors and anybody who will give him a dollar. I want to stand up for workers. That's the fundamental difference.

I’m loving the “well akshually he didn’t REALLY mean let Iran take out Los Angeles and San Diego” excuses today. Cool. Explain the assholes in the crowd who thought it was fucking hilarious. Deplorables wasn’t strong enough.

Yes, Pete Hegseth is so incompetent that our troops go without necessary medical care, but at least they are called "warriors" now while they go untreated. So it all evens out . . .

There's a new wave of Democratic ads across the country that are somehow brutally partisan and incredibly effective and it's going to take some time for me to get used to this?

ICE arrested the mom of a 9-year-old at a school bus stop in Austin, leaving him alone and crying. The video has profanity and is heartbreaking to watch, but it shows the fear/pain of what happened. This is evil. This is wrong. And it has to stop.

And this, dear Americans, is one of the multiple reasons why the rest of the world thinks of this country as barbaric.

"It could chill rights of contractors to make political contributions" -- unearthed footage shows Susan Collins in 2012 fighting to protect contractors from having to disclose political contributions (we recently learned she was under investigation for a pay-to-play scheme involving a contractor)

It's hard to tell which is weirder: the fact that these guys seriously suggest that models like Claude have consciousness/sentience or that they actually invest time and money (weird!) trying to convince the Pope as well as theologians and legal scholars of this belief.

This really was a huge, disgraceful moment for our country. Trump walked Xi past the presidential portrait display in the West Wing colonnade and said, “Trump, and then Trump, and this is the autopen… Biden. It’s Biden.” Xi can be heard laughing in the video.

I like that in becoming a nazi, you get glowing coverage as a brave iconoclast, and then when you stop being a nazi, you’re get glowing coverage as a brave dissident. Money coming and going. Only way you lose is having normal opinions like “racism bad” bsky.app/profile/trac...

OK, Washington Post, enlighten me. What is the bright side of being a Nazi?
