The marines wanted to fire live artillary over I-5; Newsom didn't want them to, but they said too bad; that it was safe.

Then, oh, look: a shell detonated prematurely. Good thing Newsom had shut down 17 miles of freeway (used by 80,000 Californians daily).

Mike Johnson: "We're fighting for healthcare as well. Not just in word but in deed. We put in the one big beautiful bill, real reforms to Medicaid to make it work better."

(The bill in fact cuts nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid.)

!!! Trump now says he's secured $20 TRILLION in investments in America. His fake number has increased by $2 trillion just since last Thursday! (The entire US GDP is $30 trillion)

For most, inflatable animals were joyful.

Here in GA, we were told Savannah PD would detain us for wearing them bc of a mask law.

Local organizers discouraged us!

I did anyway (head out) & told them to make sure & video my hilarious perp walk.

Alas - we were outdone by Alabama!!!! 🫣

Photo of a giant inflatable orange unicorn and a giant inflatable bee.

I posted on FB 3 days ago: "Although, just promise me if they perp-walk me in handcuffs dressed in a fat unicorn costume, you'll please record it for my files. I want my only arrest in this life to be dressed as a fat unicorn."

In Alabama a penis inflatable was arrested for lewd conduct. Bill Grueskin writes: "Well, you can finally cross 'I've seen a handcuffed, inflatable penis' off your bucket list."

Completely agree.

Trump does stuff that is so insane that it makes one feel a bit crazy for bringing it up or asking about it. But it needs to be asked about.

“Mr. president why did you post an AI video shoring you flying a fighter jet, wearing a crown, and dumping excrement on Americans?”

Andrew Lawrence @ndrew.bsky.social · 13h

as far as just messaging goes that video is probably the most embarrassing thing any president has done on the world stage in my life

and the fact that the sunday shows wont even describe it? total abdication of their responsibility

Trump urged Zelenskyy to accept Russia’s terms for ending its war in a volatile meeting on Friday, warning Putin had said he would “destroy” Ukraine if it did not agree.

The meeting between the two descended many times into a “shouting match”, with Trump “cursing all the time.”

Mike Johnson’s refusal to seat Rep. Adelita Grijalva is blatant protection of Trump from the Epstein files.

Why are Johnson and Trump trying so hard to keep the Epstein files hidden?

TRUMP’S NAME MUST BE ALL OVER THE EPSTEIN FILES!

Ben Meiselas on Thursday: Trump is meeting with Zelenskyy tomorrow. It's not great timing because it's right after the Putin talk, he's still going to be feasting off the Putin talking points. If I was betting, knowing Trump's psychology and pathology, he's going to try to intimidate Zelensky.
