Trump says people who leak military plans ‘should be shot’

Trump attacked those leaking material to the media, calling them the "scum of the earth" during a rally in Bullhead City, Arizona.

#GISchat - where can one find accessible, downloadable geospatial data related to private business locations (e.g. 7-11 stores in Taiwan)? I don't often use this type of data. TIA!

Laugh at Eric Schmitt and Co. for Hawkeyes/Hawks, sure. Their screw up is funny and they deserve the mockery. But also, this was the GOP and allied media geared up to defend a coup attempt with lies and jail a prosecutor because he tried to enforce the law against a criminal. How far we've fallen.

It's a bit of a bummer that the story today has been "look at this absolute doofus of a senator" and not "Jack Smith once again credibly accuses the president of many serious crimes"

The US Web Design System is load-bearing infrastructure for thousands of government websites. It makes it easy for small teams with no resources (i.e. most .gov teams) to make usable, accessible websites that work for everyone. Today, it's as close as it's ever been to being replaced with AI slop.

Shutting down a memorial to an assassinated president because you can't slap your name on it ranks with the most empty, floppy dictator shit of all time. Ferdinand Marcos would tell you to get a grip.

i am finishing up the book REGIME CHANGE and the only real takeaway from it should be that the president is legitimately delusional and that the entire White House is structured to feed and defer to his delusions

President Donald Trump sent thousands of National Guard to Washington as what he has said is an effort to get tough on an epidemic of crime. They seldom actually fight crime. Soldiers have been involved in about 1.3% of the city's criminal cases since they arrived. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

The president is refusing to spend taxpayer money assisting Americans suffering from natural disasters solely because their states didn't vote for him. I know there are a thousand scandals at the moment, but this one deserves some more oxygen at every level.

When your party leader is a president with historically low approval ratings, who has raised prices through tariffs and wars, uses disaster relief and science grants to punish states that didn’t vote for him, and has agents shooting people in the streets, this is what you do.

By the end of July, we've been losing about 2 minutes of daylight each day here in the DC area. It is perceptible especially as the evening light doesn't seem to last as long. I built this Streamlit app to enable you to check out what is happening where you live. sunrise-sunset.streamlit.app

We actually had the 16th highest mortality rate in the world and it largely resulted from the ignorant asshats who were *resisting* the common sense protection measures Fauci was promoting like masking and distancing. What a colossal asshole.

Nobody's telling you to do anything, dude. You want to go outside and fill your lungs with chewable air, go for it. Take deep breaths. Open the windows. Order some Taco Bell. Bake yourself some Pillsbury shard rolls.
