Jared from Subway is a condo billionaire?

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.

What kind of blithering idiot says this out loud? The kind that is demented, just doesn't care and is willing to hurt half of America.

That sound you hear is plaintiff lawyers popping champagne corks and DOJ lawyers groaning.

Q: How many layoffs have you authorized?

TRUMP: It'll be a lot. And it'll be Democrat-oriented.

These guys hogtied a journalist who is probably their mom’s age for nothing.

WGN, this woman’s employer, is now reporting she was not charged with any crimes and was released.

DHS said earlier she was arrested for assault for throwing objects at agents.

The indictments of President Donald Trump’s political foes after he publicly called on Attorney General Pam Bondi to prosecute his perceived enemies raise a chilling question: If the Justice Department is little more than a president’s lapdog, is anyone in America ultimately safe from his clutches?

Nothing surprises, I, thanks to NFL programming, had to watch the Cardinals last Sunday. Pretty much every clusterfuck imaginable was on display.

Of course not. But nothing makes sense any more.

What @kagrox.bsky.social said. None of it really makes sense in the least.

David Waldman @kagrox.bsky.social · 1d

This article hasn’t explained a single thing about how this happened. I didn’t even get a sense that Jared knew how it happened.

Get to a yes first and then work out the details? Why would I give you a yes without details? What does that even mean?

Here’s how Jared Kushner, President Trump's son-in-law, helped broker an Israel-Hamas breakthrough from a makeshift command center in Florida.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

If this stuff would end up on the news it would absolutely motivate voters. Plenty of people who don't give a shit about politics would absolutely give af about this.

Wherein David Simon is correct:

Juno Rylee Schultz @junoryleejournalism.com · 2d

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."
