“I don’t know when it was signed, because I didn’t sign it,” Trump told reporters before leaving the White House on Friday evening.
...

The proclamation invoking the Alien Enemies Act appears in the Federal Register with Trump’s signature at the bottom.

“President Trump was obviously referring to the original Alien Enemies Act that was signed back in 1798,” White House communications director Steven Cheung said in the statement.

So his defence is that when he said he didn't sign it, he was of course just clarifying that he wasn't one of the original drafters of the act in 1798.

The implication being that he's so damn old, that point needed clarifying.

Anybody seen the NYT "Biden too old and it is a scandal!" reporters who filled pages and pages for months with that stuff?

Oh right they mostly are just either actual Republicans or wanted Trump to win because he's good content.

But it wasn’t the republicans who kept the pages full.😉

Better chance he sends this country headlong into a deep recession. See how popular it will be for him to promote having his face on currency then! He'd be unmercifully mocked. He won't be a god then, he'll be a festering soar on the ass of the country.

One wonders what MAGA gets by isolating and weakening America.

Suppose if you want to be a Nazi and start Genocidal wars, you need to make enemies....

US blocks Canadian access to cross-border library, sparking outcry​

Click to expand...
My oldest kid has been a librarian for ~17 years. Prior to their current position as branch manager here in KY they headed the teen department in NM. Outreach to the indigenous community was a major focus by their library.

This piece by a Las Cruces scholar points out further evidence that GQP policies are harmful in many ways.

“The consequences are especially severe in Indigenous communities. Take the Nisqually Tribal Library in Olympia, Washington, where IMLS grants supported a StoryCorps recording studio that helps preserve Indigenous languages, histories and cultural identities. Without continued support, nearly 200 tribal libraries nationwide risk closing their doors, depriving communities of irreplaceable resources for preserving their heritage and deepening educational inequities.”

Trump’s attack on libraries was predictable. Its consequences could be devastating

This tells you all you need to know about the deleterious effects of becoming addicted to watching television. The average American watches how many hours of TV daily?

The average American watches roughly 3 hours of TV per day.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:
  • Recent Data:
    In 2023, U.S. viewers aged 15 and older spent an average of almost three hours watching TV daily.

  • Age Differences:
    Adults aged 65 and above spent the most time watching television at over four hours per day, while 15 to 19-year-olds watched TV for less than two hours each day.

  • Weekly Viewing:
    This translates to roughly 21 hours of TV viewing per week.

  • Weekend vs. Weekday:
    People tend to watch more TV on weekends, averaging about 3 hours and 19 minutes per day, compared to 2 hours and 32 minutes on weekdays.

Besides a weekly Danish satire show and some kids programs, it's several months since I've watched TV.
 
Trump signed an executive order that effectively makes all federal employees fire at will employees. The criminality of this administration knows no bounds.

Could have been natural; could have been empowered Russians; could have been empowered Trump thugs; hopefully state police are investigating.

What the Venezuelans Deported to El Salvador Experienced

Exclusive photos of the arrival of Venezuelan detainees deported from the U.S.
time.com time.com

The people perpetrating this need to be in prison. Absolutely gross that this is being done in our name.

The intake began with slaps. One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, “I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.” I believed him. But maybe it’s only because he didn’t look like what I had expected—he wasn’t a tattooed monster.

The men were pulled from the buses so fast the guards couldn’t keep pace. Chained at their ankles and wrists, they stumbled and fell, some guards falling to the ground with them. With each fall came a kick, a slap, a shove. The guards grabbed necks and pushed bodies into the sides of the buses as they forced the detainees forward. There was no blood, but the violence had rhythm, like a theater of fear.
