Trump is planning to deliver 40,000 - 2,000-pound bombs to Israel, weapons that prompted such concerns about mass casualties in Gaza that the Biden administration halted their delivery.

There is little left to bomb in the ruins of Gaza except PEOPLE. Let that roll around in your head for a while.

All massive financial failures led by Trump. Now this...
The Kennedy Center was solvent when Trump took over. Then its finances collapsed.
The Post examined 15 years of the institution’s financial records to see why it went south after the president took over

Today, while addressing the 58 deaths that have occurred in ICE custody, DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin defended the conditions of immigration detention centers by stating, "We’re not providing Holiday Inns."

Indeed, they are not.

Buried lede: among those speaking out against this is Gregory Baylor, senior counsel at Alliance Defending Freedom, a major conservative Christian legal group:

“The government shouldn’t punish people who pursue socially valuable callings just because in its judgment they don’t earn enough money.”
Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/kQdKbY1
Trump Moves to Cut Off Student Loans for Tons of Degrees
Under a new rule, if your degree doesn’t make enough money, you won’t be able to get a student loan.

“MY TICKET WAS REVOKED”

Tech oligarch Trump donor Peter Thiel (J.D. Vance’s sugar daddy) is rejecting local journalists from his secretive closed-door ‘Antichrist Lectures’ series in NASHVILLE… what’s he hiding? 🤔

For decades, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was the undisputed global leader in public health. But after a year and a half in the cross hairs of HHS RFKjr’s drive to remake public health policy, the agency is a skeleton of the powerhouse it was.

Did you know rooftop #Solar provided 47% of Australia’s energy needs, utility scale solar provided 22%. Total renewable energy was 80% And this happened 2 days in a row now. How long now before we see periods of 100%? Or will coal’s inability to shut down stop it?

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡

Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong.

Here's the whole sequence:

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

Puerto Rico is in a water crisis, as a US board slashes the island's social/infrastructure spend to protect corporate bondholders, and a developer tries to build a $2.5B private city on acres of untouched coastline. As one councilmember explains, much of this exploitation can be traced back to NYC.
