It's official — a court ruled that the public's interest in knowing if Elon Musk has a security clearance and access to classified information outweighs any potential privacy interests.

Great FOIA ruling in favor of the @nytimes.com.

Guess someone reminded her what happened to her ancestors during the Holocaust and how that can happen to us if their powers left unchecked.

JORDAN: Comey is where weaponization all started. 9 years ago he took the dossier--

BASH: But that's not what he's being prosecuted for

JORDAN: I'm just saying, you want to talk about weaponization, that's where it started

BASH: So this is retribution then

Not to mention Jake claimed Biden WAS frail and sick during his presidency WHEN Biden is now getting treatment for Cancer. Assholes like Jake really have no business misreporting a president’s health.

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?

Good - the Media hold him accountable for all of this.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

It is seriously scary to go out now. I browse the ICE sitings and plan accordingly, or just cancel because no one wants to get caught up in this horrible mess going to dentist appointment or whatever. Basically trapped inside. Worse than Covid lockdown, much worse, but just as uncertain. I hate it.

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

Better question: When is President Harris sworn into office since you know, she legally won the election?

Interstellar @interstel1ar.bsky.social · 1d

When is the coup?

When is this insanity going to be stopped?

People have no idea of the dangers of the firings at the CDC.

The people who work there care about your health.

We are at risk, because the republicans refused to TALK.

And just like in DC, the National Guard roops that's still stationed there probably are just raking autumn leaves off the streets and mulching where there is a need for mulching. Not much of a cause for concern.

Tonight in “war ravaged” Portland… a frog brigade standing guard outside the ICE facility.

Trump says there’s “nowhere worse than Portland”… and the frogs magically multiply.

They’re showing that he’s not only a liar, but Portland is still safe, still weird and still full of people resisting.

One of the females of the women's rights revolution in the 70's. She was a true champion for all women. She left a mark on filmmaking.

Her acting in the Godfather movies cannot be denied since she played the role of a housewife that's suppressed in a male-dominated mafia family. RIP.

SCOTUS justices live in bizarrely isolated worlds, but I wonder if the discontent in the ranks and the literal fact that the government has no pathway to reopening might be breaking through a bit.
