#Trump’s “version” has nothing to do with reality. This — once again — is most likely about #MarketManipulation. Let’s see what tomorrow brings before raising the peace flag. Just sayin.

I’ll believe it when I see it

#Pakistan's prime minister says #Iran, #US have reached peace deal; accord to cover #Lebanon

Tomorrow will bring some other excuse for #Trump to carpet bomb Iranian #civilians or their essential #infrastructure

Until Trump is gone, nothing means anything. Words are falsehoods. Government is a scam.

The spectacle is estimated to cost >$60 million, acc/to Mark Shapiro, who is the president of UGC’s parent company, TKO Group Holdings. (not coincidentally Trump purchased between $15,000 & $50,000 worth of stock in #TKO weeks ahead of the event that he has been promoting for months #InsiderTrading).

The preliminary injunction issued by US District Judge Angel Kelley in Massachusetts also orders a pause on any additional changes, writing that the plaintiffs have shown that these efforts are meant “to rewrite the Nation’s history with a white-out pen.”

“History cannot be faithfully told while excluding the experiences of communities whose contributions, struggles, & achievements form an important part of our Nation’s story,” the judge wrote.

problems all left alone
Weekenders on our own, it's such fun
just a perfect day

Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on

You're going to reap just what you sow You're going to reap just what you sow You're going to reap just what you sow You're going to reap just what you sow

Federal judge indefinitely blocks Trump’s $1.8 billion payout #SlushFund

US District Judge Leonie M. Brinkema said the government has not provided “absolute certainty” it won’t try to resurrect the fund in the future.

With his trademark round glasses & bleached-blond hair, #Hockney was a well-known figure in the swinging British & US art scenes of the 1960s, even before he reached the age of 30. His paintings were just as distinctive, many of them creating a dreamlike world of patterned light bouncing off water & windows, & human forms rendered in flattened, simplified shapes in matte acrylic paint.

#DavidHockney, iconic British #artist known for his colorful landscapes & pool scenes, dies at 88

Historian Simon Schama said it’s no mystery why his work is so enduringly appealing.

“His work is admired — loved is not too strong a word — by the millions who, worldwide, flock to see it because it presupposes an expectation of pleasure,” Schama wrote in an essay accompanying a 2025 #Hockney exhibition in Paris.

…The precise nature of the cuts remains secret, but media reports in Germany & the #US suggest that an aircraft carrier with its support group of warships & aircraft as well as a submarine would leave the European theater. Aerial refueling planes & dozens of fighter jets would no longer be available.

All are in short supply in #Europe, & it’s unclear where they might be found in a hurry.

European countries & Canada had waited impatiently for over a year for the #Trump administration to detail its plans after it warned that Europe is no longer a top US #security priority. They knew cuts were coming, but not how big, fast or what kind.

#ElonMusk controls reusable rockets that are the backbone of the #US space program. His constellation of #satellites in #space represents a pillar of US #defense. And he has struck deals with leading #ArtificialIntelligence companies to fuel the #AI revolution.

Now the public sale of #SpaceX shares will not only dramatically increase #Musk’s wealth, likely making him the world’s first #trillionaire, but it will expand his reach into pivotal sectors of the global #economy.

#ElonMusk is the world’s first #trillionaire (on paper) thanks to the #SpaceX #IPO.

As SpaceX goes public, it will dramatically increase Musk’s personal wealth & expand his reach over key parts of the economy. Critics fear his growing influence.

His wealth is astonishing. His stock in SpaceX & #Tesla is valued at more than $1.1 trillion.

#Musk hooked rural customers on #Starlink; Then came the price increases.

#KennedyCenter board to fight order to remove #Trump’s name as deadline looms

The center’s board of trustees on Thursday voted to seek a stay of US District Judge Christopher Cooper’s directive to take Trump’s name off the center’s exterior by Friday because, as Cooper wrote, the #law states Congress gave the center its name, & only Congress can change it.

Pedestrians were not permitted to walk on the grass, and a Park Service helicopter circled overhead.

…This month, a federal judge prohibited the National Park Service from taking action against the organization #AccountabilityNOW USA, which displayed an “#8647” flag as part of an ongoing permitted demonstration in Washington. The Secret Service started an investigation into a volunteer with the organization after the flag was displayed.

The numerals were not discernible to people on the #NationalMall, who could only see a few brownish patches of grass near the WWII Memorial. The numerals seemed visible only from a tall vantage point, such as the top of the Washington Monument.

Multiple emergency vehicles could be seen encircling the grass around 1PM. A team of officers stood over brown patches in the grass, wearing gloves, & appeared to be testing the grass with materials from a yellow case.

#idiocracy #Trump #GovernmentWaste

The numerals 8, 6 & 7 were visible, but the 4 wasn’t clearly etched into the grass. It remains unclear how the markings were made. The term “#86” is restaurant industry slang that generally refers to the unavailability of an item or a customer’s removal. #Trump & his allies have argued it means to kill someone [never been used that way before they started claiming it as far as I know]. Trump is the 47th POTUS, so the digits have been used to show opposition to Trump.

So dumb

US #ParkPolice, the DC fire department [#DCFD] & members of the #NationalGuard were seen responding Thursday to what appeared to be large-scale etchings of the numerals “#8647” on the ‌grounds of the #NationalMall.
