Did she mention (as former MIT Pres Reif wrote in Globe) that Brown made an agreement with Trump in July and found themselves targeted again along with MIT? Thats what making an “agreement” with lying scum gets you and why none of these colleges can give in.

Who is being “sparked” to debate this nonsense?

I think he really is seeing fires. His manipulative aides put videos of buildings on fire on his TV and they tell him Portland is burning down. Dementia Don is too far gone to notice.

Note: if you help someone when stormtroopers raid a place, do not give an interview 4 days later to say what you did. Do not post about what a good thing you did. Be very quiet about it or you are putting everyone in danger.

The only thing snipped here has been RFK’s brain stem.

Screenshot of a tweet from The Bulwark. Text reads: “RFK: ‘There's two studies which show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It's highly likely because they were given Tylenol.’” Below is a photo of a formal meeting at a long table with Donald Trump and several officials.

Maybe hosting 14 different shows occasionally tires him out.

I wish the Apple iPhone team would focus on ways to save battery life instead of depressing and unnecessary changes to the look of the phone.

Well, the good news is 1)the Swedes are sane & despise Trump like the rest of the world does 2)even if the Swedes took leave of their senses, recipients have to be living to be awarded the prize and at the rate of his decline, Trump and his Obama rage won’t make it to next Oct.

Can anyone explain what they are talking about? Also, can I make up my own non-existent evil group - “Yoodow!” - and then constantly rant about the made up trouble it is causing and how we have to fight the menace?

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

One would think a government funding crisis would require the House of Representatives to be in session and available at all times to vote on funding bills. To have it out of session now is a complete failure of leadership and ethics by the Speaker of the House.

What is in those files, Mike?

The malicious prosecution of Attorney General Tish James is baseless.

And the indictment is not worth the paper it is written on.

(🧵) A key irony in what is now happening in Portland, Chicago, Los Angeles, Memphis, and D.C. is something I have not heard much discussed: in order to meet the high legal standard for deployment of federal troops, Trump must not only argue but establish by evidence that his agents are... incapable.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Maybe Miller realizes the 2024 election did not mark the end of history.

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.
