"Second, the Mayor-elect hasn’t made any statements, written or verbalized, public or private, regarding Arabic numerals. Because it would be silly. You know why? We already use Arabic numerals every day. All of us."
Sigh... We Already Teach Arabic Numerals
Why are they like this?

There are more people organizing and pushing back against the regime today than there were in the first term. There are more people in more places (rural towns and big cities across the country). I think it's really strange how resistant some people are to these facts. I wonder what's going on.

This is really bad.
We’re about to invade Venezuela because trump wants their oil. No other reason. The airspace has been cleared. Embassies are being evacuated. Flights are being canceled.

He’s going to kill people for oil.

WELKER: Inflation has gone up. It's at 3% now up from 2% in April when the tariffs were imposed--

BESSENT: No, no no no. So, inflation hasn't gone up. The one thing we're not gonna do is do what the Biden administration did and tell the American people they don't know how they feel

Imagine knowing your platform was a playground for predators, fueling teen depression, eating disorders, and suicide and deciding the best course of action was… absolutely nothing. Meta didn’t just “miss” anything.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia's lawyers inform a federal judge about the Washington Post's bombshell: The government's claim that Costa Rica will no longer accept Abrego has been exposed as a lie.

More evidence—"if any were needed"—of vindictive prosecution.

In short: Even though the court ordered discovery based on the likelihood of vindictive and selective prosecution, we don't even need to get into it and you should dismiss the charges now given we just learned the DOJ lied to a judge about Costa Rica not accepting Mr. Abrego.

Excellent point.
Home Depot could implement a policy requiring ICE to present a judicial warrant before operating on its property. Businesses are fully within their rights to decide who is allowed on their premises.

Great response.

Mamdani may actually end up being a NYC mayor that NYC peeps…like.

That’s saying A LOT!
WELKER: What is your message to Jewish New Yorkers who feel you won't be tough enough in your response to antisemitism?

Mark Kelly: "They're tying themselves in knots trying to explain why what they're doing with regard to these drug boats is legal. It's questionable at best. One of our biggest allies, the UK, recently stopped sharing intelligence with us in the Caribbean because they question whether this is legal."

Go, Senator Kelly!!!
Mark Kelly: "The message he sent a couple days ago was he declared that loyalty to the Constitution is now punishable by death. Those are serious words coming from the president. He's trying to intimidate us. But I'm not going to be intimidated."

Twitter now displays where accounts are from and it has confirmed that too many of the political accounts are out of country bots.

Why are folks still there? To argue with bots? A waste of precious time while enriching the richest man on Earth.

@anandwrites.bsky.social has nailed in this piece what has been grinding away at my gut since my own review of the Epstein files— that there truly is an “Epstein class” of elites, inured to the pain of the rest of us, committed to their own ends no matter the cost.

Hey folks:

On my podcast "History Matters" on Friday, I discussed "The Piggy Problem" -- and what that comment shows about the vital role of the press in serving US -- American citizens.

We forget that fact at our own peril.

11 years ago today, 12 year old Tamir Rice was gunned down by police officers on Cleveland’s west side.

The officer shot him within seconds of arriving at the park he was playing in.

Tamir’s life mattered. It still does. My thoughts are with his family today.
