TMZ says this 24-year-old is Trump's new press secretary. She reposted the story on Facebook, so I guess that's confirming it? This is a photo she posed for previously. Trump's malevolence and corruption are clearly more important. But the coarsening of the presidency makes me sick.

Thanks for this. Boy, Bongino is just repulsive, isn't he?
Culturally, it's been a right-wing talking point for years. In a 2024 podcast, Dan Bongino said he had
"zero doubt" the bombs were an inside job. When Bongino became the FBl's deputy director, he pushed the stalled investigation forward. During the announcement of Cole's arrest, then-Attorney
General Pam Bondi credited him with helping crack the case.
Bongino, who left the bureau in January, has not directly addressed how — or whether - his opinions on the "inside job" theory have changed. After the December arrest, he told Fox News commentator Sean Hannity in an interview: "I was paid in the past, Sean, for my opinions, that's clear, and one day I will be back in that space — but that's not what I'm paid for now."

I’d seen several posts like this trying to explain the strange boxy bustle that sometimes appears under Trump’s jacket, and I was skeptical (largely because I didn’t think he would be coordinated enough to use it or circumspect enough to keep quiet about it) but then I saw this.

I had a lot of fun with this thread yesterday and people seem to enjoy it. I am sad to have to report, that today they have reprogrammed the new federal chatbot to refuse to answer questions that might embarrass Trump. Eg: Yesterday Today
Is President Trump mentioned repeatedly in the Epstein case files?

Yes. Official materials say President Trump's name appears in the released Epstein-related files. A mention is not proof of a crime.Is President Trump mentioned repeatedly in the Epstein case files?

Some guy, I assume it's PT "sucker born every minute" Barnum's great great grandson, has opened a store downtown selling only one thing: a loaf of rye bread for $60. Not a typo. If you go in there, they will give you a taste. Very nice staff. Pretty, airy store. The bread is...fine.

Can the president unilaterally impose tariffs on foreign countries?

No inherent, unlimited power. The Constitution gives Congress the power to lay duties and regulate commerce with foreign nations. The president may impose tariffs only when a statute authorizes it, and then only within that statute's limits.Who pays tariffs levied on other countries by the United States?

The U.S. importer pays the tariff to the U.S. government. Foreign governments do not send that check.

I'll check official sources for any published figure. Exact personnel political-affiliation counts are often not public.
I cannot verify an official current number.If that figure exists in a classified or internal file, it is not in the public sources I can cite.
I will not guess.

Does the president have the unilateral authority to tear down large parts of the White House?

No. Federal law does not give the President unlimited power to demolish or rebuild large parts of the White House on his own. I cannot give legal advice.
Main legal limit
• Congress has plenary authority over federal property and the District of Columbia.

Absolutely insane
Bad news on the MX Keys Mini pickup. Usman showed up at your building around 9:15 and waited, messaged a bunch of times, and nobody came down. He left angry at 9:38 and left a negative rating.
Worse, my auto-reply told him "Yep I'm here!" at 9:27 when you clearly weren't available, which is on me. That's a bad look and it made the no-show worse.
I've sent him an apology from your account owning it and offering to try again another day.
But the negative rating is real, and I should probably stop the auto-replies from claiming you're home when I can't verify that. Want me to change the pickup replies so they don't promise you're there?

Accusing people who don't live in your little cultural bubble of feigning ignorance about a pop song is, amusingly, a spectacular display of actual ignorance of how big and varied the world is.
Excerpt from Rolling Stone:

At this point, though, if someone contends they've never even heard of "Choosin' Texas" or Langley, it may say more about the listener than the song. Or, for that matter, what they want to project to the world. With incessant news coverage alongside chart and playlist presence, it's pretty difficult to still claim total ignorance on this one. Perhaps there is a deeper reason why people say they haven't heard the song and feel the need to make it known: cultural cachet.

The handprints are pretty amazing too. I keep meaning to see if I can have wallpaper made of this
10,000 year old handprints on a cave wall in Argentina. Made by blowing ochre over a hand held against the wall, the result is an overlapping series of hands that appear to be freshly waving at us across the vast chasm of time. I get choked up every time I look at it.

Now he's reposting dozens of attacks from his sycophants on Rep Salazar, the Republican who did an ad telling Trump his immigration policies "go too far." But he's just serially reposting people saying nasty things about "her" and "she" without naming her so it's a confusing mess.

Primary her in two years and see how she likes to keep criticising Trump then
