The president wants to resume nuclear testing. This is a really bad idea - and he can't even get his facts right about why he wants to do it:

Uh, the bunker he was so embarrassed that he was taken to in the first term that he had to use tear gas on peaceful protesters to pave his way to a church to hold a bible upside down to appear tough? Will he be lining the bunker with gold chautzkies?

In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.

Two federal prosecutors have been placed on administrative leave just hours after describing Jan. 6 attack as a "mob of rioters."

The prosecutors made the description in a sentencing memo for a Jan. 6 defendant who was pardoned by Trump but is facing prison time for unrelated crimes.

"Hispanic support for Trump is now cratering everywhere. The administration's goal is they avoid the polls for fear they will be brutalized or abducted by ICE." — @snipy.bsky.social

The DOJ's "election monitoring" is really voter suppression

Trump's Big Lie has become government policy.

Does it decrease your risk of falling and fracturing a bone because you can't see when you get up to go to the bathroom? I'm taking an educated guess that there is some other reasons why the CV risk is decreased when you sleep in total darkness.

Trump says his ballroom might cost more than $300 million but adds, "you know we're building the arc. Maybe we use it for the arc. We raised a lot of money for the ballroom, so maybe we'll put -- the arc is going to be incredible for Washington DC, so maybe we use it for the arc."

“Nobody has heard of” Lesotho, President Trump joked, to the laughter of lawmakers. He’d just cut aid to the country.

Weeks later, he announced a 50% tariff on exports from “the denim capital of Africa.”

Today, Lesotho is under a state of disaster.

I recently traveled there for @bloomberg.com:
