A meme of an adult woman and a redheaded child. Panel one has the woman saying "Good news Bobby! According to these test results you're gifted". Bobby responds "Wow! How gifted?" In panel two. In answer, the woman says "you're in this blue region here. Panel four is a bell curve with a blue section marked "keen, lifelong awareness of own deficiencies".

Biden sent $250 million in weapons without needing Congressional approval. Trump had used the same process in 2019. Options were available without impoundment.

www.nytimes.com/2024/04/04/u...
In 2019, the Trump administration used an emergency declaration to bypass the congressional notification process and push through a multibillion-dollar arms deal to Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates. The move angered both Democrats and Republicans who were critical of the Saudi-led coalition striking civilian targets in Yemen and angry about human rights abuses, including the killing of the journalist Jamal Khashoggi. In that case, both chambers voted to block the deal but failed to override a veto by President Donald J. Trump. Under the Biden administration, similar emergency powers have been used to fast-track aid packages to Ukraine and Israel. No resolution of disapproval has been introduced to block emergency use, but a number of Democrats expressed their frustration when Mr. Biden bypassed Congress twice in December to transfer more than $250 million in weapons to Israel. They warned Mr. Biden’s team against skirting congressional notification for future weapons transfers.

Almost 90% of Republicans polled last week approve of Trump. They're not changing their minds, especially not in large numbers.
A chart of YouGov Trump approval/disapproval ratings from polls taken Sept 12-15, 2025. Trump's approval rating is 88% with Republicans, 28% with Independents, and 3% with Democrats. Age, gender, and race breakdowns are also shown.

I have a duck for you!
A male Muscovy duck stands on a deck with pond grass behind him. He is white and grey with the knobby red face that the breed is known for.

Trump's approval rating is still near 90% for Republicans polled last month. Basically all of them are fascist.
A line chart showing Trump's approval rating data from a Gallup poll run from July 7-21, 2025. Overall US adult approval rating is 37%, with Republicans at 89%, Independents at 29%, and Democrats at 2%. The Republican approval rate is nearly unchanged from 90% in January 2025, while his approval rating with Independents dropped from around 47% to 29%. About 6% of Democrats approved in January, going down to 2% in this poll.

Don't worry, the bugs will already be built into the new Air Force Ones.
A screenshot reading “I would not necessarily guarantee that date, but they are proposing to bring it in ’27, if we can come to agreement on the requirement changes,” Costello said. She was referring to contract requirements that are being loosened to get to that earlier date – such as the Air Force “relieving” Boeing of some of the top-clearance security requirements for workers performing work on the aircraft, which has been blamed for some of the delays."

Minnesota - stand up for science tomorrow!
A light and dark blue Stand Up for Science poster. Three faceless scientists in lab coats stand above information on the NIH's impact in Minnesota and research programs for the University of Minnesota and the Mayo Clinic. Two of the scientists hold flags, one which says Find Cancer Cures and the other says Save The Planet.

Where's the apology, though?

www.npr.org/2023/01/25/1...
Steps to great apologies. 1. Say you're sorry. 2. Say what it is you're apologizing for. 3. Show you understand why it was bad and take ownership. 4. Don't make excuses. 5. Say why it won't happen again. What steps are you taking? 6. If it's relevant, make reparations.
