Q: Do you agree with the assessment from some of your own officials that Alex Pretti is a domestic terrorist or assassin?
TRUMP: Well, I haven't heard that, but he certainly shouldn't have been carrying a gun. I don't like that he had a gun.

Love how the president of the United States, who historically couldn’t manipulate the stock market, is tanking our economy and whatever retirement funds millions of us have.
As always, thank you John Roberts and Mitch McConnell.

Sad to see that people can’t be friends with somebody just because they disagree over politics (whether or not it’s good for a fascist goon to shoot a lady in the face and murder her).

Gun massacre exists because Republicans prevent any remedy to gun murder. They prevent any remedy to gun murder because they want us to live in a world of easy and frequent massacre. The massacres are the point. Every massacre is part of the Republican plan; a war against its own citizenry.

US history has conclusively proved that when the cops kill somebody, the immediate project becomes coming up with some crime to convict them with after the fact to frame the killing as deserved, to make them at fault for their own murder.
It can be anything at all. Doesn’t even need to be a crime.

Yesterday we were all waiting in the Epstein line. Today, the entire country has turned into investigators, tracking which files are disappearing. Sixteen gone so far. There’s been a remarkable amount of teamwork, with people working together to identify the missing documents.

Trump: We are going to be giving and providing it to the farmers in economic assistance. Farmers like me based on voting trends. So we are going to use that money to provide $12 billion in economic assistance to American farmers. $12 billion is a lot of money

I've spent 4 hours sorting my daughter's old clothes, and I say this.
When I rule the world, the designers of womens/girls clothing have 1 month to agree on 2 things:
1. A universal sizing system. I don't care whose gets picked!
2. A universal place to put tags on clothing, watermarked or no.

Pretty notable, in my view, that Kagan points out the Supreme Court's pro-gerrymandering decision in Texas is a step-by-step instruction manual for states to draw discriminatory maps while ducking judicial review, and the majority has...nothing to say in response www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
![Texas is not on “the eve of an election,” as was true in the
case the majority cites. Republican National Committee v.
Democratic National Committee, 589 U. S. 423, 424 (2020)
(per curiam); see ante, at 2. The election there was five days
after the injunction. Similarly, the election in Purcell was
“just weeks” away. 549 U. S., at 4. Here, Election Day is
eleven months from now. Even the primary election (which
Texas could change) is in March. The District Court care-
fully listed the various “election preparations” underway to
switch to the 2025 map. App. 144. On the other hand, the
court noted how the 2021 map—which the injunction rein-
stated—was, in a real sense, the status quo. See id., at 145.
Officials, candidates, and voters are all familiar with it from
the last two election cycles. Until late last summer, every-
one expected that map to govern 2026 too. And indeed, it
will be used in a special runoff election in the State’s largest
county on January 31, 2026. So, the District Court properly
concluded, “[a]n injunction in this case would not cause sig-
nificant disruption.” Id., at 144. Except to the extent all of
us live in election season all the time, the 2026 congres-
sional election is not well underway.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bpna2qi2e44fafbhhtqjak3x/bafkreifzzrhpyftoam4b4eqcpdcegf2hksn4ula6rwbtv6fqwviqfgikte@jpeg)
