This is such a multifaceted self-own, made worse by just how predictable it was. First you put a gun to everyone’s head to make them use AI. Then you make them dependent. Then you cut their costs down to actual joke levels of spend. Like less than the Hulu/EPSN bundle level. Lmao.

Meat prices haven’t changed. Put the price American ranches are making for beef has dropped 2% since Trump started importing garbage meat. 70% of ranchers voted for this.

Pay attention to the new tactic… In every hall trump and vance go to, they push the stage to the center and hang a giant curtain to hide the back half, or 2/3 of the space. I’m seeing this every time now. They cannot fill any venue, and they know that going in, so they try for better optics.

If executive branch creates a system so that people under government control can be located and then just stops listing some people in that system — despite their still being under government control — that should be a five-alarm fire for the other branches, the states, and the public.

I asked Claude (forgive me) to evaluate Trump's new triumphal arch lunacy on security grounds. This sound about right to me. Any human experts want to weigh in? And I dare them to produce any memo from anyone in the military, legitimately dated before this morning, reflecting a "strong request."
Distance is the main problem. The arch is nowhere near most of what it would supposedly protect. The White House is nearly two miles away, and the Lincoln Memorial is roughly half a mile. Counter-sniper overwatch works when the team is close to the protectee or the crowd and has a clear, short line to likely threat positions. Practical urban engagements are generally far shorter than what a 250-foot perch would imply, and buildings, trees, and terrain break up long sightlines.

Fixed positions are predictable. Counter-sniper teams normally deploy at temporary positions chosen for a specific event, and they change with each event's threat picture. A permanent, publicly announced, very tall structure is the opposite. Anyone planning an attack would know exactly where the overwatch is.

Drones are a different question. Rapid drone capability could have real defensive uses for surveillance, response, or countering hostile drones. But that doesn't require a 250-foot arch, and it says nothing about the sniper claim.

Storage cuts both ways. A stockpile of ammunition and equipment in a heavily visited spot next to a major bridge and a national cemetery adds a security burden of its own: access control, safe storage, and a new target.

Genuinely an insane paragraph from Sam Alito. “Voter fraud is real and scary and we have to stop it, so the fact that implementing Trump’s mail ballot rule will disenfranchise millions is legally irrelevant.” Brain melted. A right-wing podcaster in a robe. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
