In 2016, Emmer told NPR that the Somali community in Minnesota was among “the fastest-assimilating populations that we’ve had.” “I’m going to say it out loud,” he said, “when you move to a community, as long as you are here legally, I am very sorry, but you don’t get to slam the gate behind you and tell nobody else that they’re welcome. That’s not the way this country works.”

A clip from Scott McFarlane's substack today, 5/28/2026, remarking on the fact that Trump will have no media availability today... "Trump didn’t defend his slush fund idea during the protracted, televised Cabinet meeting he held Wednesday. Trump has no open media events today. So far. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent handles the White House Press Briefing at 2pm eastern. I’m not sure if he’ll be asked about the slush fund, but I suspect he’ll face a series of questions about the ongoing cost crisis, to which there seems no end."
Copy of a Twitter post from @FarsNewsAgency (controlled by the Iranian Royal Guard) stating that everything Trump tweets is bullshit to bullshit Americans. "It should be noted that Amerian officials have acknowledged in multiple messages to Iran that Trump's tweets are primarily for promotional purposes and media consumption within the United States, and they have recommended that no attention be paid to these statements." Cool, cool, cool. Trump just lying out loud to the American people.
The link in the main message takes you to Heather Cox Richardson's meditation on Memorial Day on this 24th day of May 2026. In it she notes where Donald Trump wants to build his gaudy arch commemmorating nothing but his ignorance,selfishness, hatred, racism and commitment to grift & the ruin of the US: "The proposed arch obscures the Lincoln Memorial, built to honor the president who steered the country safely through the Civil War, but perfectly frames Arlington House, the mansion built by enslaved Americans and once owned by Confederate General Robert E. Lee. The arch does not frame the nation’s honored dead, but frames instead the home of the man who led the armies of the Confederacy that killed them."
Excerpt from Tim Mak's Iran War dispatches newsletter: "IRANIAN REGIME USING BINANCE TO EVADE SANCTIONS: Investigations based on internal compliance reports and blockchain data show that Binance, the world’s largest crypto currency exchange, was used by Iran-linked networks to funnel billions of dollars to the regime and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps despite international sanctions."

@EmptyWheel twitter post asking why Enrique Tarrio, a recidivist felon whining about the trouble he's had since being imprisoned for J6 crimes, should be given free taxpayer dollars from Trump's $1.8B slush fund after which, Tarrio tells @emptywheel to, "Just pay your taxes so I can enjoy your money" and ends with "Get fucked ho'" Nice guy, right?

An image of the cutout from an article published my OnTheMedia.org showing helpful hints about what to do in case of Breaking News: 1. In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong. 2. Don't trust anonymous sources. 3. Don't trust stories that cite another news outlet as the source of the information. 4. There's almost never a second shooter. 5. Pay attention to the language the media uses. 6. Look for news outlets close to the incident. 7. Compare multiple sources. 8. Big news brings out the fakers. And Photoshoppers. 9. Beware reflexive retweeting. Some of this is on you. Full article here: https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/articles/breaking-news-consumers-handbook-pdf
Text of the hidden NBC article: Iran caused more extensive damage to U.S. military bases than publicly known — NBC American military bases and other equipment in the Persian Gulf region suffered extensive damage from Iranian strikes that is far worse than publicly acknowledged and is expected to cost billions of dollars to repair, according to three U.S. officials, two congressional aides and another person familiar with the damage. The Iranian regime swiftly retaliated after the Trump administration attacked on Feb. 28, hitting dozens of targets across U.S. military bases in seven Middle East countries. Those attacks struck warehouses, command headquarters, aircraft hangars, satellite communications infrastructure, runways, high-end radar systems and dozens of aircraft, according to the U.S. officials and an assessment by the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank in Washington, D.C. In the initial days of the war, an Iranian F-5 fighter jet bombed the U.S. base Camp Buehring in Kuwait, despite the base having air defenses, a rare breach that marked the first time an enemy fixed-wing aircraft has struck an American military base in years, according to two of the U.S. officials. **

Headline from NBC article published 4/25/2026: Iran caused more extensive damage to U.S. military bases than publicly known U.S. bases and equipment across the Middle East came under attack — including from an Iranian F-5, despite American air defenses — and repairs could cost billions of dollars.
This is a screenshot of the full quote Trump made 4/17/2026 on Air Force 1 about Iran's "nuclear dust": “We’re taking it. We’re taking it. Very simple. We’re taking it. With Iran. We’re going in with Iran. We’re taking it. We will have it. I don’t call it boots on the ground. We’ll take it after the agreement is signed. After there— there’s a very big difference. Before and after. BC. It’s before, and after. And after the agreement is signed, it’s a lot different than before. We would have taken it. If we didn’t have an agreement, we would take it. But I don’t think we’ll have to.”

This is a response from @ryangrim on Twitter wherein he says, "Nate Swanson warned that Iran would close the Strait of Hormuz and respond to a U.S.-Israeli attack by making it a regional war. He was fired at urging of Laura Loomer. After Israel and the U.S. attacked Iran, the Trump administration claimed there was no way we could have known that Iran would close the Strait of Hormuz and respond by attacking bases across the region. The irony is that people like Swanson are trying to help the U.S. make smart decisions. Here is Laura defending getting him fired:" I also attached the Laura Looner tweet as his proof which stated: "Nathanael Swanson deserved to be fired. As I exposed, he is an Obama holdover. Swanson ran to @politico last week after I got him fired to cry about President Trump..." and a lot of other blather that doesn't matter because she's always wrong about everything.
From the article available on the Internet Archive: https://archive.ph/XObjB It’s not just Kharg Iran has other methods of getting oil to market. The regime has spent years building alternative ways to export its crude, said Anas Alhajji, a global energy markets expert. There is evidence that the regime is beginning to use them. He said there is a false impression in the media and the Trump administration that if Kharg “was bombed or it was occupied, then it’s the end of the oil revenues and probably the end of the regime.” “All of this is complete nonsense,” Alhajji said.

SS of Pam Bondi, TAG, on Twitter: Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, have been indicted in the Southern District of New York. Nicolas Maduro has been charged with Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy, Cocaine Importation Conspiracy, Possession of Machineguns and Destructive Devices, and Conspiracy to Possess Machineguns and Destructive Devices against the United States. They will soon face justice on American soil in American courts. On behalf of the entire U.S. DOJ, I would like to thank President Trump for having the courage to demand accountibility on behalf of the Ameican People, and a huge thank you to our brave military who conducted the incredible and highly successful mission to capture these two. Like that doesn't describe Trump right fucking now.

SS image of Cory Doctorow's column linked in the post: "Eventually, some foreign government is going to wake up to the fact that they can make billions by raiding the US tech giants that have been draining their economy, and, in so doing, defend themselves against Trump's cyberwar threat to order Microsoft (or Oracle, or Apple, or Google) to brick their key ministries and corporations. When they do, US Big Tech will squeal, the way they always do: https://economicpopulist.substack.com/p/big-tech-zeal-to-weaponize-trade But money talks and bullshit walks. There's a generation of shit-hot technologists who've been chased out of America by mask-wearing ICE goons who wanted to throw them in a gulag, and a massive cohort of investors looking for alpha who don't want to have to budget for a monthly $TRUMP coin spend in order to remain in business. And when we *do* finally get a disenshittification nation, it will be *great news* for Americans. After all, everyday Americans either own no stock, or so little stock as to be indistinguishable from no stock. We don't benefit from US tech companies' ripoffs - we are the *victims* of those ripoffs. America is ground zero for every terrible scam and privacy invasion that a US tech giant can conceive of. No one needs the disenshittification tools that let us avoid surveillance, rent-seeking and extraction more than Americans. And once someone else goes into business selling them, we'll be able to buy them. Buying digital tools that are delivered over the internet is a hell of a lot simpler than buying cheap medicine online and getting it shipped from a Canadian pharmacy."

Quote from Heather Cox Richardson's linked Letter From An American 12/10/2025 - "The U.S. government did not recognize Human Rights Day this year. Instead, Humeyra Pamuk of Reuters reported, administration officials are threatening to place sanctions on the International Criminal Court to guarantee it will not investigate Trump and his top officials. “There is growing concern...that in 2029 the ICC will turn its attention to the president, to the vice president, to the secretary of war and others, and pursue prosecutions against them,” a Trump administration official told Pamuk. “That is unacceptable, and we will not allow it to happen.”

11/29/2025 Twitter text from @yasminalombaert: "If Trump chooses to legitimise Russian aggression, Europe is prepared to respond with economic force, powerful enough to shake the American financial system at its foundation.- Wall Street Journal Europe is totally freaking out over Trump. They are convinced he's cooking up some secret deal with dictator putin that basically sells out Europe’s security to Russia. They are not messing around this time. They are calling it a strategic emergency and they've got a nuclear option ready to go. Their plan? If Trump gives putin the nod, Europe is going to deliberately crash the American financial system. They'll do it by dumping trillions in US government debt, which they all own. This wouldn't just be bad, it would be an absolute catastrophe, worse than the 2008 crisis. The result would be a total economic meltdown: the dollar would tank, banks would freeze up, and the American borrowing costs would shoot through the roof. And politically? The fallout would be a guaranteed disaster for Trump and the Republicans, proving he picked a shady deal with Russia, whose economy, by the way, is smaller than Italy's, over the stability of the entire free world. The message is simple: Europe doesn't trust the U.S. anymore, and they are ready to hit them with a financial weapon if Trump steps one foot over the line."
From Jonathan Katz newsletter footnote #1: "I’ve written about the Imperial Boomerang — the historical pattern of imperial aggression abroad coming home in the form of reactionary violence and authoritarianism — at length before. In this case, what is being sold as a foreign terror attack near (ish) the White House looks, given what we know about the suspect’s U.S.-linked service record and apparent mental struggles with PTSD and/or moral injury, a lot more like one of an endless number of Bring the War Home-style attacks that have plagued the US for decades. I mean, a veteran moving to the Pacific Northwest, then driving to DC to stage a mass shooting of government agents? Sounds like he assimilated into American culture pretty successfully."
