NEW info on shipwreck attack. It gets worse.
The 2 survivors climbed atop wreckage and waved to overhead.
"Some of the people viewing the video thought ... could have been an attempt to surrender"
Others "said the most logical explanation was ... signaling for a rescue."

No bailouts. The US should extort these companies when the crash happens so they get minimal compensation in return for nationalizing the entire panopticon industry and then destroying it once harvested for socially useful parts. It won’t happen but it should

Remember, when horrible things happen, you are not required to follow every breaking new development and be informed of every detail about what happened.
Sometimes, you simply only need to know another horrible thing has happened, and give yourself permission to give your mind and soul a break.

The reason Democrats like to call everything a distraction is because they’re scared to attack Trump’s criminality and authoritarianism directly, so instead, they just say “hey, wait! look over here!”
They’ve been doing this for nine years

The fact that Donald Trump has gotten away with so many crimes since becoming president is proof that Trump is right about the need to federalize law enforcement in Washington DC.

This war is illegal, immoral, and could be disastrous on a level that’s even hard to comprehend. It’s a copy of the Iraq War with even more combustible conditions.
If Trump pushes us into this war we must engage in mass collective action to stop it.

Not exactly the best reflection of the diversity of the modern veterans community.
Right on brand for this new Secretary. And this entire administration.
Don’t be surprised when they do things like take Jackie Robinson and the Tuskegee Airman off government websites.
None of this is normal.

He is insane and his only human emotion is revenge and you cannot mitigate against it. There is only one path through: destroy his presidency.

This entire administration operates in bizarro world. Up is down. Down is up. Legitimate government functions are "weaponization." Pardons and dropped charges for friends is "justice" and the rule of law is "weaponization."
Vought just set up a “tipline” so Americans can report abuses—not by corporations, but by the CFPB itself. He claims it’s been “weaponized.”
Vought is targeting CFPB workers who are just doing their jobs of investigating companies breaking the law.

I have no problem with 25-year-old DOGE apparatchik Marko Elez being fired. But Elon Musk has said things as bad as Mr. Elez, and more often and more consequentially. The DOGE fish rots from the head down.
So the question is: Why is it ok that Musk himself is a "special government employee"?

I'd like to suggest a coinage here: "a la carte resistance." It's not a good idea. This isn't a buffet table. Full scale opposition, please.
Taking too much of a buffet approach to Trump's abuses of power is a bad idea. I tried to counter it here.
