I give it six months before he’s donning a military uniform and giving four-hour speeches from balconies.
"The Donald Trump administration has changed which holidays qualify for free entrance to national parks, removing two holidays celebrating Black people and adding the president’s birthday."
National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people
Free entrance days at national parks no longer include MLK Day and Juneteenth.

They're getting desperate for something that isn't murder on the high seas
The Trump administration has quietly released its National Security Strategy — apparently late on Thursday. Usually there's a rollout and fanfare for these things: www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

The boat was destroyed. The boat was never going to the US anyway, it wasn't even going to Trinidad. It was toast. Smuggling drugs is not fighting. This is insane.

Been a good week for post-perihelion 3I/ATLAS observations. Big glass trying to sneak in a decent length of observation before the Moon gets in the way. Heroic work by instrument teams trying to get the instruments functioning again after coolant leaks: bravo.

What should we do about the coming pardons, you ask?
We should have judges recognize that allowing presidents to immunize their henchmen for crimes committed in the president’s own service is an absurd result that cannot stand.

This is literally how the GOP took over in the first place: they had their cleverest minds sit around and try everything under the sun until they found strategies that worked. There is absolutely no reason we can't do this - we have far cleverer minds, for starters - but for some reason, we don't.

I love this. Instead of liberals simply whining about all the bad stuff Trump is doing to take over media, here's ACTUAL CREATIVE LEGAL THINKING ABOUT HOW TO FIGHT BACK.
This is exactly what we need! Will all this stuff work? No! But we need to TRY THINGS.

The Supreme Court paved the way for a felon to return to the presidency — where, behind the shield of office, that felon has ordered a string of murders.
The boat was split in half. 9 men were dead. 2 more clung to a floating piece of wreckage and tried desperately to flip it over for 41 minutes straight. There was no possible way they were going anywhere.
Then they were killed in cold blood by the U.S. military.

people keep asking why bradley is covering for hegseth or the admin, and that’s the thing, from what we know, he isn’t. he ordered the execution of two men hanging onto a capsized boat with no capacity to call for help, because he could and because he knows this admin will not hold him to his oaths
this manages to legitimately be way worse than all the leaks that were being fed to the papers last night

NYTimes adds: "But the video did not show any radios or satellite phones, according to the people familiar with the briefings, and a surveillance plane apparently did not spot any nearby boat."
