Trump has “no idea” what part of the brain was scanned during MRI
Claims it wasn’t the brain because he aced a cognitive test
He points at two female reporters and tells them they wouldn’t be able to pass it.
Quiet piggy. You’re ugly. Are you stupid?
He can’t stop insulting women.

This whole concept is BANANA PANTS. It can’t work. You can’t have low taxes and a for-profit city AND get a return on investment for investors. At BEST it’s a ponzi scheme and the later investors will be subsidizing the early ones.

Wait so there are Peter Thiel-backed landlocked seasteading libertarian cities that the current Honduras govt wants to get rid of that Roger Stone has been advocating for that JOH also supports? And Stone has also been advocating for JOH 's pardon?

every neoliberal policy analyst wants to "trim the fat" of society until the lean times come. community level resilience, redundancies, etc are good actually
When power went out across all of Puerto Rico on 16 April, a lot of the lights in the town of Adjuntas stayed on. A combination of experimental microgrids, solar panels, and storage kept power on for many businesses and residents.

Could Microgrids Be Puerto Rico's Answer to Endless Blackouts?
Meanwhile, feds redirect $365 million away from solar toward grid fixes

Putin's Angry His Manipulation Of Trump Revealed
Vladimir Putin calls the leaked Bloomberg tape of Steve Witkoff and Yuri Ushakov conspiring to manipulate Trump "criminal espionage." He didn't want anyone to know that he was doing this - and he's visibly angry about it.

Opening the door to throw Hegseth under the bus:
Reporter: If there were a second strike that killed wounded people, would that be legal?
Trump: I don’t know that happened and Pete said he did not even know what people were talking about. I wouldn’t have wanted a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. It was fine.

Killing survivors is a war crime. It is a war crime internationally and in the United States. We’re not in a war so I’d call it murder but at least they are finally acknowledging this SoB is breaking the law.

Lawmakers warn Hegseth may have committed war crimes following second-strike report
Democrats and even some Republicans said Hegseth’s orders may have been illegal if a report on his commands to kill survivors of a boat attack are true.

Van Hollen: "It's either murder from the first strike if their whole theory is wrong, and I think the weight of the legal opinion is they've concocted this ridiculous legal theory. But even if you accept it, then it is a war crime. I do believe the secretary of defense should be held accountable"

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans.
Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

The first federal investigation into Border Patrol corruption and “excessive violence” was launched in 1930; by 1933, the government had fired every single working agent.
Fast forward to today, and the agency's sexualized workplace leads to harassment and assault, according to former agents.
