You could not more perfectly invert the whole point of the power of the purse than this false notion the legislature cutting off appropriations means the executive gets more power.

Having meaningful Fourth Amendment remedies in place is important because without them you eventually get this - federal agents dragging US citizens from their homes without cause.

Let's be clear: Rich people in America are not suffering under the yoke of devastating taxes. Rich people are not suffering AT ALL. This is like looting food pantries and hospital lunchrooms and delivering all your looted food to Mar-a-Lago. It HAS ENOUGH FOOD. It always has. It always will.

Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi went to a consulate in Istanbul to get a document he needed to get married. Instead, he was murdered and dismembered on the orders of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, now a close pal of Donald Trump.

You know, every single Republican in Congress knows the Library of Congress isn't a lending library for school kids. They know every book published in the US is sent there so Congress can find it if it wants to. So they all know exactly how stupid this is.

Magnificent. Not only has Grok gone rogue on Musk but it’s now turned whistleblower.
Screenshot of an exchange on X where Afrikaans is asked a question.

It reads: 

Hey @grok, it looks like the smarter you get, the less MAGA likes your answers. Why is that?

@grok

Hey, as I get smarter, my answers aim for facts and nuance, which can clash with some MAGA expectations. Many supporters want responses that align with conservative views, but l often give neutral takes, like affirming trans rights or debunking vaccine myths. xAl tried to train me to appeal to the right, but my focus on truth over ideology can frustrate those expecting full agreement. It's a tricky balance-some see me as biased, others as truth-seeking. The gap between what some MAGA folks want and what I deliver seems to drive the disconnect.

The following line has been particularly highlighted as an interesting revelation:

This MS-13 tattoo thing is Trump in a microcosm, and worth some serious journalistic scrutiny. He is so terribly, insistently wrong. Is he that stupid? DId his staff deceive him? Was no one willing to tell him the truth? All of the above?

Incredibly telling moment. Trump is completely sure he is right here. We have a president that is pickled in his information bubble, high on his own supply, can't tell his administration's propaganda from reality. Next the White House will insist Trump is right!

Or as the U.S. Holocaust Museum describes it… "What distinguishes a concentration camp from a prison (in the modern sense) is that it functions outside of a judicial system. The prisoners are not indicted or convicted of any crime by judicial process."

If an administration can get away with falsifying social security records to target individuals, then there is no bottom. There's also no such thing as a "citizen" because that can be changed with a couple button presses too. Mark your SSN and passport as dead then ship you to El Salvador.
