Trump’s obsession with ripping working electromagnetic catapults out of Navy aircraft carriers and replacing them with steam catapults is BATSHIT. The ships will have to be completely redesigned around old tech that breaks down more. It will cost BILLIONS. And all because the president is INSANE.

The guy who did such an incredible job with the Reflecting Pool, Ballroom, Kennedy Center, National Mall, and Great American Fair is going to redesign our warships. What could go wrong?

The very idea that aircraft carriers to be designed to fit any aesthetic at all, as opposed to fitness for its purpose, is obscene. If two designs are equally good for their purpose, choose the one that’s cheaper, or best for the people on board, or any number of things other than aesthetics.

Fascism is aesthetics as politics and we have the dumbest fucking fascists.

Someone needs to tell Trump to step the fuck back from questioning the "aesthetics" of ships of war. Like having a psycho decorator as president. wapo.st/4wqjGiV

Does anyone know how long a temporary flag on x lasts? And how to appeal it? Thanks

Dozey Don went to the trouble of actually creating a chart to compare the length of the Reflecting Pool to the height of 3 various skyscrapers, for some reason known only to him. Towering over ALL of them is, of course, the #EPSTEIN_Files. #TheMidtermsCantComeSoonEnough

NEWS: Gov. Abigail Spanberger signed a law requiring Virginia education officials to review how January 6 is taught in schools—pushing back against efforts to rewrite history and whitewash the attack on our democracy. Read more:

Says he was born in 71. His parents became "naturalized citizens " in 75

Marco Rubio declared that under the Constitution being born in the USA does not make you a citizen unless your parents are citizens. Marco Rubio's parents were Cuban immigrants who were NOT citizens at the time of his birth. Do you think Marco will now self-deport?

It was so comforting to have a president that wasn’t a malignant narcissist.

Raskin: "It doesn't give me a lot of comfort that Todd Blanche is now the acting AG. This is the guy who transferred Ghislaine Maxwell from the higher security prison to the low security prison camp in Texas."

A bill passed the Senate last night 100-0 to fund TSA, the Coast Guard and FEMA. If Speaker Johnson called it for a vote it would pass easily. But he won’t do that. Because Trump has ordered him to keep TSA shut down and keep the chaos. Pure incompetence.

BREAKING: After ProPublica published letters written by children at the Dilley concentration camp, ICE officers raided the dormitories and confiscated the children's letters. I'm suing ICE to get them back. I'll explain it all in 45 minutes on @meidastouch.com here: www.youtube.com/live/H-D8SzR...

He makes a persuasive case.

That republicans have consistently taunted AOC for bartending post college, where she double-majored w/ honors in economics & international relations, makes it your patriotic duty to remind them they confirmed a college dropout with a background in plumbing to one of the biggest jobs in the country.

the country is at war and the president is leaving DC this afternoon for a weekend at his private club in Florida that he'll spend with his paying customers

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box. The Senate must reject this bill.

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion. That's $1 billion per day. $41,666,667 per hour. $11,574 per second. Thousands of lives lost. People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

After 30+ years, thousands of lives and trillions of wasted dollars, most Americans know this much. Stay the hell out of the Middle East. Watching the most delusional and incompetent administration in our lifetimes try to convince us otherwise, would be comical if it wasn’t dangerous.

In case you missed it…here’s the facts-only version of SOTU

NEW: Maine immigration observers sue over Trump administration "domestic terrorist watchlist" threats. The First Amendment lawsuit will seek class-action relief. Today, at Law Dork:

Gallego: "They're going and racially profiling people and rounding up Americans until they can prove their citizenship. That money came from kicking millions and millions of Americans off Medicaid. It was the same bill. They cut Medicaid to expand ICE."

Katyal: "I was able to go to court - the son of immigrants-- & say on behalf of small businesses, 'Hey, this president is acting illegally.' I was able to present my case, have them ask really hard questions, & at the end of it they voted & we won. That is something extraordinary about this country"

A criminal case collapses after ICE agents were caught lying under oath, as federal courts flex contempt powers and a grand jury’s refusal to indict six members of Congress — plus the deepening Epstein fallout and mounting pressure on Pam Bondi. Watch Legal AF live now!

This guy raped little girls.

🚨 Pritzker: The monsters responsible for unleashing this havoc on American cities, whether they were firing at civilians in the streets or calling the shots from their cushy offices in Washington, need to be investigated and prosecuted.

“Imagine how they lie when there’s no evidence to contradict them.” Watch this powerful message from Jon Stewart.

ALEX JEFFREY PRETTI. Gone, but never forgotten... #RIP_Alex 💔

😂😂😂

If you are a federal agent for the Trump regime you can shoot and kill someone while wearing a mask and you will never be prosecuted, fired or disciplined and nobody will be allowed to know your name. You are free to carry on like nothing happened. That’s Trump’s America.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Kristi Noem is an absolute disgrace. Tell your representatives in Congress it’s time to impeach!

“I just checked—it turns out that Art. II, Sec. 1 of the Constitution of the United States does *not* say ‘The executive Power shall be vested in a bunch of sociopaths who think they can do whatever the f*ck they want and make sh*t up as they go along.’” — George Conway

@democracydocket.com yup.

Maybe Greenland could invade us instead?

The post of an absolute madman.

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
