Kristi Noem’s America, folks. That poor dog. That poor family.

Tweet by Aaron Reichlin-Melnick: “Border Patrol reportedly shot a dog and then the agent fled rather than deal with any kind of accountability whatsoever.”
Below is Keith Edwards’ tweet: “BREAKING: A family in El Paso says ICE shot and killed their dog, Chop. The agent who fired reportedly ran as the family screamed for help. No one came.”

Photo of a large black and brown Rottweiler sitting calmly on a tiled floor next to a white chair and a window with blinds.

A black-background screenshot of text describing an incident: the sender says no Border Patrol agents rendered aid after their dog was shot, and that the responsible agent fled the scene with help from others. They emphasize that the agent’s name was never released and that their family lost a member “for no lawful reason.”

10-to-1 odds, Trump in his last moments (from pain in his chest or watching the door to his bunker being knocked down) uses “the football” to launch nukes on the USA.😑

“If I can’t rule it, NOBODY CAN!!!”

He is EXACTLY that petty and spiteful.

If this is happening at the Centre for Disease Control and military troops are going to foodbanks, imagine the condition US government agencies are in that are tasked with managing financial market risks

— and he was trying to share his passion with the viewer. That kinda thing is appreciated, because when you know a teacher is genuinely passionate about something and they want to show you “Here’s why this is freaking COOL!”, it makes learning a subject alot easier.

— he wasn’t “reacting” to ERB as much as he was analyzing the rap battles and EXPLAINING them in a way so someone watching the video would go “😲 OH!” regarding the specifics of various raps good or bad quality.

You could tell that SFJ was just excited about rap and rap battles, —

There’s condescending, but there’s also, “I love seeing people get excited about the same things I like!” which is way different. I call it “nerding out”, lol.

This guy sat in on that trial and transcribed everything he was hearing, as it happened.

A lot of the terminology flew over my head, but it sounded like the DoJ responded to all of the judges requests with “😕Uhhhhh…my dog ate it?😅” and other such ELOQUENT excuses for not doing their jobs.

At 10am, Judge Xinis will hold a conference in Abrego Garcia’s civil (habeas) case. I’ll cover for @lawfaremedia.org. Expected mainly to be about whether to grant Abrego discovery into, e.g., how the govt chose to try to send him Uganda or Eswatini (former Swaziland). ...

I don't know if there's such a thing as a "world cyberwar" but I think we are in one? and the US is determined to lose it. 🧵

Today the admin is mass-firing the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the nation's cybersecurity protection across all levels of government.

Being neurodivergent means you over-explain EVERYTHING in hopes of clear communication, then get anxious that your over-explanation was irritating and actually made things more confusing 🫤

Threatening. But not accurate.

The last few years have shown that “The Russian Bear” is an emaciated crackhead wearing a moldy bearskin rug going, “RAWR!” Not a scary force of nature.

A danger? Yes.

A THREAT? To the scale that everybody THOUGHT they were?

HELL NO.

Sleep well, dude.

The chairman of the Nobel Peace Prize confirms that Donald Trump does not meet the moral and ethical standards associated with the award, citing a lack of courage and integrity a trait that defines MAGA.

— days after burying his brother, he opens a French newspaper to see the headline is “ALFRED NOBEL IS DEAD, THE MERCHANT OF DEATH HAS DIED”.

Needless to say, he didn’t want that to be his legacy. Hence setting up the Peace Prize to reward humanitarians and people who improved the world.

He came up with the award because he thought the money made via mining VASTLY out-weighed whatever pittance came from warfare.

Then his brother died. And a French newspaper thought HE was the one who died, and didn’t bother fact-checking before announcing it.

You can imagine his shock when —
