The Senate and the #WhiteHouse have reached a bipartisan agreement to close our southern border and institute significant new controls on immigration. The only opposition is coming from Trump and those he controls in the House. Trump has made clear that his opposition is political—he says he can't let President Biden sign immigration reforms.
All border problems going forward are Donald's and republicans.
This tyrannical fuck is openly threatening to jail #NikkiHaley if she commits the crime of not dropping out of the race. #Trump is an unabashed fascist, and he's telling us all what he's going to do if he's allowed back in the #WhiteHouse. It will be four years of personal revenge and retribution at the expense of the American people. Whatever America is now, it will unquestionably be substantially worse if Trump is in charge.
The #WhiteHouse on Mon is announcing new steps intended to ensure #access to contraception, #AbortionMedication & emergency #abortions at #hospitals. It represents President Biden’s latest bid to contrast himself w/ #Republican challengers who support strict abortion limits & arrives on the anniversary of #SCOTUS ruling that guaranteed #AbortionRights for nearly 50 yrs.
“He's younger, and way better looking than the president,” Scaramucci said. “And I know the (former) president very well, that superficial sort of stuff really bothers him, so he will be an antagonist to your leadership"
I could not locate the tech support contact info for #NASA or the #Whitehouse, but I did message them both them via their general contact forms.
I asked if they would consider installing the #ActivityPub plugin on their respective #WordPress websites, so that the #Fediverse can follow their content unfiltered by any algorithm or angry super villian firing rockets into space.
U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has been released from the hospital after receiving treatment for complications from prostate cancer surgery at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in December. While the Pentagon says he is expected to make a full recovery, he remains embroiled in controversy over keeping news of his hospitalization from the White House for three days. Read more from ABC News.
Then again, I wonder if their #WordPress setup would work with the #ActivityPub plugin‽ Or if the plugin has to go through a security audit & be approved before being activated‽
Well, I can always refer them to @pfefferle or @evan (those two are super busy nowadays 😅) if they run into any issues or have questions.
“By the way, #NATO is dead, and we will leave, we will quit NATO," #Trump also said, according to Breton. "And he added, ‘and by the way, you owe me $400 billion, because you didn’t pay, you Germans, what you had to pay for defense.'"
European leaders seem worried about Trump more today than four years ago, given they stayed mum then. Charlie points out that Putin hadn’t invaded Ukraine (the 2nd time) yet. And Israel wasn’t bombing Gaza non-stop, either.
@kegill@cstross That $400bn claim from the #PoopypantsPinochet#MangoMussolini is testament to the fact that the fucking idiot in his fourth year of squatting in the #WhiteHouse still had not understood what #NATO is and how its finances work (hint: if #Germany had spent those $400bn, it would now have the largest and best equipped #army in the #EU.
In one tough moment for #Trump, who was present but did not speak, Judge Karen Henderson, the sole #Republican appointee on the panel, pushed back on an argument made by his #lawyer, D. John Sauer, that for >200 yrs, American courts had never sat in judgment over ofcl actions a president had taken while in office.
The bipartisan funding framework congressional leaders have reached moves us one step closer to preventing a needless government shutdown and protecting important national priorities. It reflects the funding levels that I negotiated with both parties and signed into law last spring. It rejects deep cuts to programs hardworking...
#SpecialCounsel#JackSmith's team has uncovered previously undisclosed details about former President #Donald#Trump's refusal to help stop the violent attack on the U.S. #Capitol three years ago as he sat watching TV inside the #WhiteHouse
Sources said Trump's former deputy chief of staff, #DanScavino, told Smith's investigators that as the violence began to escalate that day, Trump "was just not interested" in doing more to stop it.
Today, 3 yrs after #Jan6 & more than a wk before the #Iowa caucuses, #Trump has almost entirely subjugated the elected class of the #Republican Party. As of this wk, every member of the #House Republican leadership is formally backing his campaign to recapture the #WhiteHouse.
Trump has obsessed over his scorecard of endorsers, acc/to more than ½ a dozen Trump advisers & people in regular contact w/ him, most of whom insisted on anonymity to describe private conversations.
"In this conversation, Said addresses comparatively his years of experience during #ForeignPolicy briefings, notably on Palestine, at the #USStateDepartment and #WhiteHouse, with focus on the current war on #Gaza."
More dumb bullshit from #Trump. The only people who can vote in #federalElections are American citizens. This entire line about undocumented immigrants coming into the country in droves to vote is just pure fantasy. But that's all Trump has; lies and fantasy. We cannot allow this POS back in the #WhiteHouse. We gotta vote like our lives depend on it, because they do.
Nov 14th #Turkey's #Islamist#authoritarian#Erdogan characterized the #Hamas-#Israel conflict as a war between the Cross and Crescent, adding more fuel to his relentless pursuit for radicalizing narrative.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been in power for two decades. People have criticized his increasingly authoritarian rule.
It seems that #Erdogan is preparing his supporters for a confrontation with the West.
Erdogan says: #Hamas#Israel war "is a war between the Cross and Crescent." He fans the flames and his comments are unhinged adding fuel to his relentless pursuit for radicalizing narrative.
He next says
"Allahu Akbar" a common arabic phrase used by muslims in various contexts, such as during celebrations, also used to express approval, gratitude.
This is no way helpful rather it is a radicalizing narrative.
Watch what they do. Islamist Recep is pouring fuel on the fires.

"With no #WhiteHouse reaction to Turkey's incessant attacks on our NE Syria Counter-Daesh partners future operations will be impacted. Whether Turkey will finally succeed in freeing the Daesh prisoners is a question that #Centcom needs to be prepared to address."
Turkish airstrikes target several service facilities in the countryside of the city of #Derik (al-Malikiyah), in far-northeastern.
