"Medicare Part B premiums” could use an asterisk the size of Nebraska. The standard premium is $2,434.80 a year. The one-time $90 payment covers 3.7%.

These people are profoundly sick. Sen. Kennedy says Jack Smith would "unplug your life support to charge his cell phone." Jack Smith is one of the most patriotic public servants this country has. Kennedy's claims are shameless and an assault on the rule of law.

Peak weirdness. Hegseth says “no weirdos” while pacing a stage sorting Americans into “fatties,” “trannies,” “weirdos,” “wimps,” and “warriors," proving there are, in fact, still weirdos, including the one leading the Department itself.

Blanche on judges discussing cases: "flagrant violation." Blanche on Abrego Garcia: so many public comments the judge imposed a gag order, then dismissed the case as vindictive, citing them. Blanche on SPLC: false claims DOJ had to walk back. Rules for thee.

There’s something almost performance-art-ish about filing a post containing “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” “Degenerates and Losers,” and “lie after lie” as Exhibit A in support of an argument about other people’s failure to maintain “professionalism and decorum." www.ms.now/news/trump-f...

“I cherish the free press,” followed immediately by “the press I don’t like is a national-security threat and must be stopped” is quite the First Amendment argument.

Miller: noncitizen voting is “widespread, commonplace and pervasive.” Mullin: 300,000 are being looked into. Also Mullin: 1,620 are actually under investigation and 151 arrests (0.0001% of the electorate). These people are profoundly stupid.

Tell kids the robot isn't real = doable. Stop AI from destroying mankind = too hard. Congress regulates plenty of technically-complex industries, but hey, at least someone in the GOP finally admitted they don't have the intellectual prowess to tackle real problems.

He may have claimed afterward that he was only joking, but his track record shows he's fully capable of following through on a threat like this. Conditioning federal funding on political outcomes is exactly the kind of thing his administration has already done.

Calling this "Special Forces of Health Innovation" is very generous. Autism research doesn't need a branding exercise from an administration with a track record of politicizing science. It needs credibility. They really should sit this one out and let the real researchers work.1

Conspiracy-building backwards: find something the public didn't know, pretend the FBI didn't know it either. Then, declare that whatever wasn't kept forever was "destroyed." Also, evidence being processed and then a crime scene or body being released isn't "destroying evidence." Nice try, MAGA.

Paxton left out one rather important word: “radicalized.” Talarico didn’t say white men are America’s greatest terrorist threat. He said radicalized white men are. You can disagree with the statement, but you shouldn’t have to rewrite it to make your argument.

Courts are still holding the line on executive overreach. DHS can’t override protections Congress put in place for FEMA, and destroying evidence has consequences. While a remedy is still pending, this is a meaningful accountability ruling.

"'Only I can make this promise." Yeah, because Congress actually controls the money, but sure, let's pretend bribing voters with their own tax dollars to prove he's got a "thriving economy” is a personal favor.
