"I could have warned anyone that in Trump’s world there are no adults in the room. There are no grownups. There are no good guys. Once you achieve a certain position in Trumpworld, you have given up your soul. It’s gone."

Reports state that the Trump administration is considering giving out "baby bonuses" to increase birth rates. Ridiculous. Babies are notoriously bad with money. They will blow it all on frivolous goods, such as rattles and dumb little outfits, which they will immediately outgrow.

@politico @politics-politico ROTFL - resign first!

Over the past several days, we conducted a "scream test" by shutting off verifiedjournalist.org to see if anyone screamed. Turns out, it's not serving the purpose we hoped it would since no one did. So, we'll be retiring the service at the end of April, 2025. Sad day.

@JessTheUnstill Well, Bush Jr. labeled the 9/11 terrorists "enemy combatants" which was a way to skirt Geneva Convention protections. It was and is an illegal distinction, but yeah, that's their point - they believe Geneva doesn't apply.

@politico @congress-politico Yeah, that was really REALLY bad. Unless Schumer had information the rest of us don't have (possible), it's borderline catostrophic.

@quartz @business-news-quartz I can just imagine the collective eyeroll within the President / PM of literally the entire world any time he opens his damn mouth.

@KyivIndependent @latest-news-KyivIndependent not could...will. And I'm saying that as a proud American. I'm so sorry we're doing this to you. Slava Ukraini!

You heard the man, America.

@NewsDesk They won't have to even fire a shot. Krushchev was right, just 50 years too early.

@KyivIndependent @latest-news-KyivIndependent Reaches for anxiety medication.

@JessTheUnstill Runway incursions are pretty rare globally, but they are not at all "serious" in that they happen with enough frequency that pilots handle them under routine go around procedures. Similar to hard landings or when they have to feather the plane right before landing - intense but not abnormal. We're hyper focused on them right now, and all events should be investigated, but the confluence of several crashes within days of each other has everyone rightly skiddish.

Funny, but I need to learn more about this so called kabal of billionares trying to bring about the end of the world. It sounds absurd, but I've heard it now several times and curious if there's anything actually to it. mastodon.social/users/MissingT

Turns out Zelenskyy is good at standing up against dictators.
