The lies never stop with this great pumpkin looking motherfucker. How in the blue hell anyone supports this dictator wannabe I'd beyond my intellect.

How does the Republicans keep following this idiot off a cliff (with the exception of the caveman known as MTG) is beyond me.

Kudos to Don Bacon for calling out the Gulf of "America" bs.

HTTR!

A look into the awesome "trade deal"

More than $220 million in contracts canceled by Musk and DOGE have been brought back

More than $220 million worth of contracts cancelled by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have been brought back.

Forty-four of the government contracts ended by DOGE and Musk have been revived by federal agencies, according to a federal spending data review by The New York Times.

However, DOGE still lists 43 of those contracts on its website as having been terminated, and some were added after they had been restored. This led to several data errors on the site.

The White House told the outlet that the paperwork lag would be fixed. The contracts that have been rekindled include everything from software license agreements to partnerships with vendors in charge of data and records for the government. Most of the contracts came to an end in February and March amid demands that agencies make massive cutbacks.

Agencies subsequently restored the contracts, at times only days after they had been cancelled. For instance, the Environmental Protection Agency restored a contract after two and a half hours, but DOGE still listed the contract as canceled for weeks. The contract was subsequently extended, now costing more than previously.

Musk and DOGE set out to cut $1 trillion out of the $7 trillion federal budget, but the backtracking on cancelled contracts revealed the difficulties of making such expansive cuts. Contractors told the paper that as DOGE rushed to urge agencies to cancel contracts that were likely to be revived, as some were required by law, and some required skills that the government doesn’t have.

And I wonder what the additional cost of interrupting those contracts was?

Mexico sues Google for using ‘Gulf of America’ to appease Trump

Mexico has sued tech giant Google over its re-labelling of the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, a name change made by US President Donald Trump via executive order.

“The lawsuit has already been filed,” Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum said Friday at a news conference, without saying where and when it was submitted.

The gulf shares borders with both the United States and Mexico, and Trump’s order only carries authority within the US. Mexico, as well as other countries and international bodies, do not have to recognise the name change.

Mexico argues that "Gulf of America" should only apply to the part of the gulf over the United States continental shelf.

Mexico’s foreign ministry had previously sent letters to Google asking it to not re-label Mexican territorial waters as the Gulf of America.

In February, Sheinbaum shared a letter from Cris Turner, Google’s vice president of government affairs and public policy, stating that Google will not change the policy it outlined after Trump declared the body of water the Gulf of America.

Turner in his letter said the company was using Gulf of America to follow “longstanding maps policies impartially and consistently across all regions”.

As it stands, the gulf appears in Google Maps as Gulf of America within the United States, as Gulf of Mexico within Mexico and Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America) elsewhere.

The Gulf of Mexico has carried that name for more than 400 years. The Associated Press refers to it by its original name while acknowledging the new name Trump has chosen.

The White House moved in February to block the AP from being among the small group of journalists to cover Trump in the Oval Office or aboard Air Force One, with sporadic ability to cover him at events in the East Room.

'Treason': Longtime Trump ally wants senator 'executed' for criticizing administration

One of President Donald Trump's closest associates is now publicly calling for a Democratic member of the U.S. Senate to be killed over a bill he introduced to rein in "corruption."

In a post to his X account, Trump confidant Roger Stone insisted that Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) was compromised by the Chinese Communist Party because of a company he co-founded getting venture capital from a Chinese company. Stone wrote that Kelly should be "charged with treason and if convicted executed, consistent with federal law."

The Daily Beast reported Friday that Stone's remark was in response to Kelly officially submitting a cryptocurrency regulation bill for consideration that would prevent the president, vice president and their families from "issuing, endorsing, or sponsoring crypto assets." Kelly's bill specifically mentioned "memecoins," which is particularly noteworthy as Trump has specifically promoted memecoins named after both himself and First Lady Melania Trump.

"Trump is cashing in on his presidency and making millions from his own crypto coins — this is corruption in broad daylight," Kelly tweeted.
