Al Jazeera reports that Israeli warplanes struck Gaza City at the same time Trump announced a ceasefire deal. Palestinians had been celebrating the truce, but raids continued. No casualties have yet been confirmed.

Israel has also been blowing up about 300 homes a day using explosive-laden APCs.

The 80s output was all about skewering ray-gun at the time. People ask me why I’m not more mentally exhausted by this current administration and I explain that FZ already educated me on these people in 1981.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

Trying to sanitize the entire Epstein history. The house reconvenes when they feel the process is complete and everyone has rehearsed the lie.

People tend to think non-lethal is like playing paintball. I can assure you it is not, and you will die if it hits the right area, like the throat.

Seems like the purpose of this is to gain control of the algorithm in the US and it has nothing to do with who owns it.

These ICE agents are out of control in Chicago. This one’s aiming a loaded weapon at a woman just for filming him as he hunts immigrants in broad daylight. This shit is beyond fucked up—and it’s only a matter of time before one of these losers pulls the trigger.

Notice how none of these fascists have an animal companion? They would start constructing private animal prisons if they could figure out a way to make a profit.

DHS police taking down protest signs in preparation for Noem’s arrival. Apparently streamer Benny Johnson will be with her to video but actual press are being kept a block away….

Back to the robber barons of course!

When was America last great? About 1896, Trump suggests

The US president wants to emulate the ‘Gilded Age’ foreign policy of the late 19th century. Economists fear he is ignoring the lessons of the past
