Giving hell to data center PR BS in Nashville.
š„ @rolandsmartin: āP.R. 101: donāt send a press release as weāre LIVE having the conversationš¬- @Fisk1866, youāre an HBCU and hired a white P.R. firm for this??ā
Live with @brotherjones_, Roland (not Ronald!) lights up Fisk & Dr. Clark & @FINNPartners for data center secrecy.

This event is about celebrating Americaās unmatched greatness after 250 years ā which apparently doesnāt sit well with the friendless loser who wrote this bullshit clickbait headline.
Rain or shine, weāre celebrating our great country no matter what. GOD BLESS AMERICA! šŗšø

Ending the war as soon as possible is the best outcome left, but the truth is Trump accomplished none of his goals and lost the war to Iran. Iran's nuclear program is not eliminated, nor are its ballistic missiles. But Iran now knows it can crater the global economy at any time.
šØšØšØPakistani Prime Minister Sharif: Following intensive talks, we are pleased to announce that the Peace Deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran has been REACHED. Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon. The official signing ceremony will be on Friday, 19 June in Switzerland

A birthright citizen leads the USMNT to a huge opening victory.
An immigrant of African descent leads the Knicks to victory.
An African immigrant w/visa violations & huge govt subsidies becomes a trillionaire.
Pretty great demonstration @StephenM wants America to lose.

The thing that makes this particular picture so funny and so Trumpian is that that isn't even the White House. It's a giant fake facade of the White House they put up to block the view of the arena that they erected in front of the actual White House.

Reminder: The Claw is imported from Belgium.
Trump won't even Buy American when he's blowing your taxpayer $$ to stage a spectacle of mostly naked men rolling around on his front lawn.

Trumpās White House UFC fight this weekend has required more than seven federal agencies, hundreds of staff working onsite daily and at least $60 million, according to a legal filing.
Quite a use of government resources for fight night. š¤

"This Sunday nightās UFC spectacle on the South Lawn...captures something about this moment in our history.
It's vulgar, violent, commercial, grandiose, tacky, and it dishonors a place once thought worthy of care and respect. In other words, itās Donald Trump."

Elon Musk held up a chainsaw, fed USAID into the wood chipper, and at least 600,00 people have already died as a result - two-thirds of them children.
History's first trillionaire.

The grift here is astounding. The "Trump Kennedy Center" people tried to outright STEAL more than half of a $300,000 bequest to the Washington National Opera made in a donor's will ā even though the funds were intended to go solely to WNO. x.com/nytimes/status/2065446ā¦

How fitting that this ended with yet another shameful cover-up, though.
Perfectly, perfectly Trumpian.

Governor Abbott closed out his speech at the Texas GOP convention with a live elephant. It then peed on the floor as it left the room.
The perfect metaphor for the Texas Republican Party.

Demand an accounting from LR Chamber, Queen Sarah, Mayor Frank and stalling Pulaski JPs.
4 states now report losing $1 billion to data center tax breaks. Costs keep rising; 14 states still fail to disclose what these subsidies cost.
Residents deserve to know what it's costing them to subsidize Big Tech *before* another deal is approved.
