This post is going to be long but it’s important. One of the least-discussed developments in the Trump administration is the creation of the National Design Studio (NDS). On the surface, it was presented as a project to modernize government websites and improve the user experience.

Well, this confirms the accuracy of the book.

I support this message

BREAKING: Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has been convicted of insurrection for declaring martial law in December 2024, and has been sentenced to life in prison.

NEW — An obscure Navy contractor program is making Trump’s plans to quickly build out and supply immigrant concentration camps around the country a reality. Here I explain WEXMAC TITUS, an acronym you need to understand:

Imagine having to follow the law!

Seems real bad that the end point of ~25 years of War on Terror architecture is an agency of thin-skinned goons who will send armed men to your house if you email the government asking for compassion on behalf of someone else. newrepublic.com/post/206088/...

“If the person is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.” Justice Brett Kavanaugh www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Rumors of more than a hundred Republicans who were planning to defy Trump and vote to release the rest on Tuesday. Rather than suffer their disloyalty, he's ordered them to vote for the release. What a magician! He's twisted a mutiny into a demonstration of fealty before it even happened.

Nothing says law and order like publicly fantasizing about 18th-century mob violence.

(Reuters) - Staff of the Federal Emergency Management Agency were left baffled on Monday after the head of the U.S. disaster agency said during a briefing that he had not been aware the country has a hurricane season, according to four sources .. @reuters.com www.reuters.com/world/us/fem...

And this is what I mean about backlash.

1. Florida banned cities from lighting up bridges rainbow colors for Pride. So the people of Jacksonville did it themselves using flashlights and gels. They opened the drawbridge to block them. So they marched to a different bridge. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

So after having lost badly in court, leading to an injunction barring them from defunding or punishing hospitals which practice gender affirming care, they're now going to have the FBI threaten criminal prosecution?

This is the right approach — speak to them as you would an especially stupid child, spell out their crimes and your contempt clearly.

How is this not a joke?

DeSantis seems to have embezzled $10 million from Medicaid. It was then used to defeat recreational marijuana legalization in Florida. Bonus grift: he fired the attorneys who worked on securing the funding originally, and never paid them. Stay classy, Florida! www.tampabay.com/news/florida...

This is being systematically under-reported. Say it with us!

Life comes at you ... at exactly the rate it promised to come at you during its 4-year re-election campaign where it told you exactly what it planned to do literally thousands of times.

I've been working on a hobby software project off and on for about 4 years. I called it Grok. But now that name is ruined, so I have to pick a new one. I've struggled to find something short and meaningful. I've decided. It suddenly came to. I'm going to name it after Grok's owner. "felon"

We just wanted to take a moment to thank all our new supporters! Tomorrow, there will be more of us!

The judge admonished the US attorneys: “It is a sad, sad day when our government would fire some good employees and say it was based on performance when they know good and well that’s a lie. That should not be done in our country. It’s a sham.” www.courthousenews.com/judge-orders...

Arrested and being deported for the crime of: "Led activities aligned with Hamas" Hm. I know of some government officials who have been leading activities aligned with a terrorist dictator in Russia. One of them is a foreign national from South Africa. Can we get ICE to pay them a visit?

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

HHS has ordered CDC to stop its influenza vaccine “Wild to Mild” media campaign. This is an award-winning campaign that effectively explains how influenza vaccine may not prevent infection but does decrease illness severity. We are currently having one of the worst influenza seasons in 15 years.

I heard they removed the phrase "END RACISM" from the end zone at the Superbowl. And I heard Trump was going to be there. And we all know these two facts are related. Like, no one even questioned it.

Elon Musk and DOGE are ordered to destroy all copies of the information they mined from the government computers until a hearing can be held to determine the legality of their access. Do you trust "Big Balls" Coristine won't keep a thumb drive with everyone's tax filings? ag.ny.gov/press-releas...

"All personnel: Please stop communicating about our crimes until next week when our comms are secured. Thanks, Elon." www.404media.co/doge-employe...

if the president can say “i don’t like the department of energy,” and within a week it’s closed, then the constitution means nothing, and the president’s entire claim to power is the loyalty of the military. either he is constrained by the constitution or he’s a dictator, there isn’t a middle ground

Elon running DOGE, but he thinks it's DOJ.

I see a lot of people — understandably! — complain about how their elected officials aren't coming out swinging. And then there's my congressman:

Awkward hand gestures are catching on.
