My hometown! Keep up the good fight!
A video taken Saturday shows former NYC Mayor Eric Adams in sales pitch mode in Wisconsin Rapids, as he's heckled by residents opposed to the data center he's trying to sell them on. "My name is Eric Adams," he begins, as the boos begin to rain down. "You belong in prison!" one attendee shouts.
My hometown fighting the good fight. Seriously Eric Adams in a small town? Is his message “if I can be bought you can too?” www.waow.com/news/transpa...
Bezos couldn’t resist could he? Next up more 7th grade taunts about rocket size www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, says Trump threw him under the bus. “If he would do that to me, he would do that to anybody,” Cornyn says. “There’s never going to be good enough for him, other than 100 percent, you know, slavish adherence to whatever he wants.“ www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/u...

"Trump is clearly losing his mind, but the media personality in the White House retains his instinctual understanding of what plays, and what bombs, on TV. So it must be all the more frustrating for him to witness the now-undeniable fact that his show has jumped the shark." — @davidrlurie.com

FWIW absolutely no one I know who has expertise in spaceflight or planetary exploration thinks this is either remotely plausible or a good idea to attempt on such a timeline. The dominant reaction is somewhere on the spectrum between mockery and dismay. Real, important science was cancelled for this
NASA Administrator Isaacman just said that they will launch a fission-powered spacecraft in 2028 called "SR1 Freedom" and that it will go to Mars (!) and drop a payload of Ingenuity-class helicopters to the surface. So that's the third suprise launch for the 2028 window.

Amazing the black helicopter, “big gumit” f-your feelings crowd backs masked federal thugs now. Kudos Mr Mayor
Q: After you told ICE to get the F out, Republicans are criticizing you for escalating tensions FREY: I'm sorry if I offered their Disney princess ears, but if we're talking about what's inflammatory, on one hand you got someone who dropped an F bomb & on other you have someone who killed someone
Military mission? Not a law enforcement operation? He can’t even parrot BS talking points
Hegseth takes the mic and starts denigrating a CNN reporter for asking a "disingenuous question," adding, "you're trying to find any angle possible to undermine the success of one of the most historic military missions the world has ever seen"

here's Trump's full racist rant about MN's Somali community: "Somalians ripped off that state for billions. And they contribute nothing... Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage. These aren't people that work... They come from hell & do nothing but bitch. We don't want them"

Here's the thing I don't understand. You can't as much as sneeze near a historic site in Washington without like 14 commissions, councils, and advisory boards giving you the okay. And everybody now is like...yup, fine with us? wtf?
NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.
