Tim Scott to Trump: "Unemployment is at 4.1% because of your leadership." (The unemployment rate was lower when Trump took office in January.)
🚨NEW: Further stories of the horrors inflicted on people the Trump admin imprisoned in El Salvador without trial are emerging. Three men describes how they were punished by guards — stripped naked, beaten for six days straight as men and women watching laughed and mocked them.
🚨Now that the men imprisoned by the Trump admin in El Salvador are free, their stories are coming out; and they are horrific. One man describes how Salvadoran officials at the prison beat them regularly, stole money from them, and denied them medical care — even painkillers.
As we learned yesterday, people are being arrested by Florida Highway Patrol and pushed to accept "self-deportation" just 48 hours later. All their property — including their pets — goes into limbo.
It's a largely hidden toll of President Donald Trump's mass deportation efforts. miaminewtimes.com/news/south-flo…
Another legal immigrant arrested. We can't ever become numb to what is happening. This is wrong. It's not "normal" wrong. It's civilization-altering wrong.
Vogue’s August issue has begun to use “AI models” instead of human models for some of their photoshoots.
The corporate softening of language over the past few decades has not only sanded away life’s jagged edges: it’s converted human suffering into abstractions. Example: “Food Insecurity.” That term evokes no emotion at all, whereas “hunger” produces a visceral one.
Who needs thinking and research in order to defend the country? The know-nothingism is pretty spectacular.
🚨EXCLUSIVE: The Pentagon has suspended participation in all think tank and research events until further notice, according to an email sent Thursday to staff and obtained by POLITICO, a major shift in engagement from the country’s largest federal agency
How weak do you have to be to be afraid of <check notes> "The View"?
FOX: Is The View now in the crosshairs of this administration? FCC CHAIR BRENDAN CARR: It's entirely possible there are issues over there ... the consequences aren't quite finished
I’m supposed to see value in AI? I still do article citations manually.

… no Alex Acosta? Really? They don’t want to hear from the federal prosecutor who gave Epstein his sweetheart plea deal, became Trump’s Labor Secretary, resigned when Epstein got back in the news, and is now on Newsmax’s board of directors? Fascinating.
NEWS: The Oversight Committee will subpoena the DOJ to release the Epstein files after today's subcmte vote. But subpoenas will also go to: Bill and Hillary Clinton, former AGs Alberto Gonzales, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Merrick Garland, Bill Barr and Jeff Sessions as well…
1) Here we see Homeland Security has just tweeted the painting that represents the white supremacy ideology of Manifest Destiny. And I know where they got the idea to do it, because I did a thread about them. See next post⬇️
Skating to where the puck is going (Trump pardoning Maxwell in exchange for her letting him off the hook while condemning his foes).
Newsmax's Greg Kelly is so eager to support Trump that he is defending Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell: "She just might be a victim. She just might be. There was a rush to judgement... prosecutors prosecuted President Trump over nothing."
