My friend who works for Fed gov just received order that they are not allowed to use "AI", and have to call it "SI". And a hiring freeze on all jobs referring to AI. This is how empires fall. When Caesar surrounds himself with groveling sycophants who will never tell him that his ideas are stupid

I think they are too stupid to be spies. They seem more like unwitting stooges, being easily manipulated by the Kremlin. In the IC parlance, they're "assets".

And really, Vanilla Ice and even more so Milli Vanilli bring new meaning to the words, "musical act" (emphasis on "act"). They're both absolute frauds, and half of Milli Vanilli is dead. So, a perfect fit overall for a Trump event 😂

The corruption is breathtaking and brazen. And my guess is they'll never be held accountable. One of the main reasons I'm planning to move back abroad in a few years, the United States is unfortunately going down the tubes.

Thompson Reuters helped ICE violate the constitutional rights of American citizens, then fired an employee who voiced concerns about it: www.npr.org/2026/04/21/n... Shame on Reuters

She raised concerns about her company's contracts with ICE. Then she lost her job
Billie Little had worked for Thomson Reuters for about two decades. She was fired after questioning whether federal immigration agents unlawfully used their products.

2/2 The program that was formerly constrained and contained by the Iran nuclear deal negotiated under Obama, from which Trump withdrew. Trump caused this problem, and is starting a war of choice that we didn't need and can't afford.

1/2 While few will miss the Islamist dictator of Iran, the Ayatollah Khamenei, or the leaders of Iran's Revolutionary Guard that were killed, this military strike was done without approval from Congress and with the supposed aim of eliminating Iran's nuclear program.

I am no longer surprised that Republicans in Congress don't push back against the mad king. There is clearly *nothing* he could do that will cause them to stock fellating him and grow a backbone. Threaten Denmark? Trash the UN? Grift endlessly? No match for GOP cowardice

How is ANY Republican defending this madness? Trump is worse than a 5-year old, he's an absolutely deranged baby, and an idiot.

Just horrible news, he created so many great shows, and from all appearances, was a genuinely nice person. This saddens me, and is another sign that the U.S. is a failing nation.
