I cannot even with how disgusting these inbred, nepotistic grifter leeches are all coming around looking for their way to personally profit from the suffering being meted out by the Trump Regime through its jenky unethical and probably illegal schemes.

NEW: The private jet that flew 10 shackled migrants to an Eswatini prison last weekend is owned by Israeli-American billionaires with close ties to Trump.

It’s oligarchs all the way down.

Was just wondering what that weird old wife-swapping coot was up to these days. Guess not much, since he has time to register commentary on court listeners/reporters.

Ahhhh, maybe. Imagine being made the boss of
a large and venerated COMMUNICATIONS ORGANIZATION, and then send out a memo that is so unclear and stupid.

Really sets herself up for success!

Imagine housing one of the planet's most scrutinized inmates in your facility and then, when he turns up dead, you don't preserve the scene and it takes the FBI 7 hours to arrive....like, I guess there were no agents available that day in NYC?! Hahaha. 🤣

Day 2 seems to have started off well for Bari. 😬

Her memo could use a copy editor.

Also, asking your entire staff to do this inane college freshman level assignment screams "say you've never really been a high level manager without saying you've never been a high level manager." What a time suck.

Here's the full memo.

Well, she asked for people to "be blunt," and I think they should take her up on that.

Witamy Paçzki @hmullphoto.bsky.social · 18h

Lol. She's trying to DOGE the hardened news room staff. That should go well. 😂

In July, DT & Senator McCormick made a big show of promising huge $$ for “investments in AI” in Pittsburgh & PA.

Question: What the F good does big $$ investment do if it leads directly to layoffs? What does “investment in AI” actually MEAN to We, The People?

the administration is laser-focused on making sure Americans don't get clean energy, so Saudi Arabia (Trump's paymaster) has someone to sell their oil to in 10 years when the rest of the world has moved on to solar+batteries

Costa Samaras @costasamaras.com · 1d

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.
