Q: Do you believe people who committed violence against Capitol police officer on January 6 should be eligible for compensation from this DOJ fund, and are you or your family members going to be seeking compensation from that fund? TRUMP: Yeah. It will all be dependent on a committee

LMAO Trump is still claiming that Iran "wants to make a deal," and threatening to blow the country up if they don't. It's just pathetic at this point.

I am glad my practice gave me the option to opt out, but all clients are still sent the consent (they can opt out, but I suspect most don't even read the consent form and have no idea they're being recorded). 🙃

Mother and son, Lisdoonvarna, c.1890, photo by William Lawrence (National Library of Ireland). The man was apparently a ballad singer. They may have been connected to Newtown Castle near Ballyvaughan, County Clare.

Per NBC: Three adult victims and two suspects -- believed to be 17 and 19 -- were killed at the Islamic Center of San Diego. The suspects appeared to have died from self-inflicted gunshot wounds. One of the victims is a mosque security guard who played a “pivotal” role in preventing more bloodshed.

Some fantastic research and luckily ongoing. But one can't help coupling this with the ignorant and reckless decisions by the Trump government to discredit science & vaccines and pull funding from much-needed research. bsky.app/profile/eric...

This is the kind of work, published today, that should be fully supported and prioritized at the highest level. Currently, there is no vaccine vs the Ebola Bundibugyo virus, the source of a major outbreak www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

There are levels to the fuckery of Trump investigating Yale for having Black medical students People of color are often better-served by doctors who are also POC, & there already aren't enough doctors of color to meet community needs This'll worsen the crisis ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

ballsandstrikes.orgTrump DOJ: Yale’s Medical School Has Way Too Many Black StudentsThe administration’s view is that the mere presence of students of color at Yale Medical School proves discrimination against white people.

93% of voters say federal agents who violate our rights must be held accountable, but a loophole in the law makes that nearly impossible. Congress must pass legislation to ensure people can sue federal officers for violating our rights, just like we can for state and local officials.

As with the attack on the synagogue in Michigan, it sounds like a security guard was killed while preventing much greater carnage. Also as in Michigan, there was a preschool on site.

Horrified by the attack on the Islamic Center of San Diego today. The pattern of violence against our religious communities is beyond unacceptable — it must never be normalized. May the memories of the victims be a blessing and let us come together to pray for those affected.

no big deal about firing the country's infections disease leaders when there are Hanta and Ebola outbreaks. Surely it'll all be fine

“It's clear the US is no longer a reliable partner.” -🇨🇦 PM Mark Carney, 2025 (foreshadowing) In a fit of pique, the U.S. pisses away the Permanent Joint Board on Defence, est. 1940. The stated reason is Canada's lack of "credible progress" on defence committments. But we all know the real reason.

Q: Should Americans be concerned about ebola? TRUMP: I certainly am. I could ask Bobby or Oz to say a couple words about it

Is this because Trump needs reinforcements for his forever Iran war? Or because he’s getting closer to launching an attack on Cuba? Or because of his renewed interest in Greenland?

Good to see: Nearly 100 House Dems just filed papers calling on the judge to throw out the lawsuit that's the basis for Trump's "settlement" creating his new slush fund, arguing that DOJ is colluding with Trump to illegally circumvent Congress:

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social

Unreal. Now that Trump dropped IRS lawsuit, DOJ just announced a new slush fund for alleged victims of "weaponization." Two Qs: *Will there be *any* congressional oversight? Most reporting suggests not. *Would payments to J6ers violate 14A? Raskin explains here: newrepublic.com/article/2105...

the president of the united states sued his own government for ten billion dollars and “settled” it by directing that government to use taxpayer money for a nearly two billion dollar slush fund to distribute to his political allies at will typing it out barely feels real
