"We're gonna have to do something dramatic" -- Marco Rubio on Meet the Press says he supports Trump's plan to round up migrants and send them to detention camps.

Kristen Welker then plays tape of Rubio saying in 2016 that he doesn't support Trump's plan to round up migrants.

MARGARET BRENNAN: All tariffs, which you seem to be in favor of, are inflationary

JD VANCE: I don't buy the premise. If you apply tariffs, you end up making more stuff in America

BRENNAN: That didn't happen during the Trump administration though

aaron.rupar,

Brennan presses Vance on his endorsement of Orban's approach to universities: "He seized control of state universities & put them in foundations that were run by his allies. Is that what you're advocating in the US?"

"I do think he's made some smart decisions there," Vance says

Quick introduction now that I've moved to Mastodon Music.

Swiss-based musician - bass, guitar, key, vocals of varying competencies. Played in Sydney in the 80s, Brisbane in the 90s, Myspace in the 00s + a rogue folk-acoustic set somewhere in there, nothing at all in the 10s!, and now active again. Several solo, collaborative and band activities locally and in Australia.

Also trying to recover all my old friends after the unexpected move, so boosts appreciated.

What if no one reported anything Trump said on Truth Social. What if only 2 million people knew.

I watch a lot of dashcam vids (mostly DCOA). A not insignificant number of crashes are caused by someone "being courteous" as opposed to following the right-of-way laws.

Follow right-of-way. Be courteous ONLY within right-of-way rules or when there's grey zones about who has right-of-way. Never be courteous in ways that go against right-of-way rules. https://xkcd.com/2932/

In honor of Stevie Wonder’s 74th birthday today, enjoy this absolutely jamming rendition of Superstition he performed on Sesame Street in 1973. And don’t miss the little boy in red rocking out up on the staircase 😁

Elected members of Congress are now officially making pilgrimages to Manhattan to stand outside of the courthouse and say the things Trump's gag order prevents him from saying.

Your tax dollars at work, America. Good to see these Republicans rolling up their sleeves and tackling the tough issues facing real Americans.

We are light years beyond parody at this point, folks.

Aww. Roger Corman, the Oscar-winning “King of the Bs” who helped turn out such low-budget classics as “Little Shop of Horrors” and “Attack of the Crab Monsters” and gave many of Hollywood’s most famous actors and directors early breaks, has died. He was 98.

In the most glorious "fuck you" I have seen in a while, you know the book that Cumberland City Council banned because they're homophobic bigots - Holly Duhig's "A focus on Same Sex Parents"? Well, the publisher, BookLife Publishing, have made a PDF version of the book available for free.

Sure be a shame if it was shared far and wide now, wouldn't it?

Every time you ban a book filled with hope and kindness, and care and love, we will resist.

My housing plan would provide a tax credit that would give Americans $400 a month to put toward their mortgage when they buy their first home or trade up for a little more space.

That’s breathing room.
