They have convinced themselves that the crowds will be mostly Antifa and radical leftish agitators/anarchists (although that has no basis in either fact or reality).

In a letter sent Friday to Attorney General Pam Bondi, led by Republican Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn, GOP lawmakers accused Smith of violating constitutional protections by subpoenaing telecom companies for call logs, including time, duration, recipient, and location, without clear legal justification. Newsweek reached out to Blackburn's office via contact form and Smith's attorney via email for comment on Friday afternoon. The Department of Justice declined to comment.

Re: The Oscars supposedly glorifying prostitution. AI Overview The 2025 Oscars did not glorify prostitution, but the film Anora, which won Best Picture, is about a sex worker, and the director and some award winners thanked the sex worker community in their speeches, sparking debate. Some critics argue the film glamorized or fetishized the sex trade, while others believe it accurately portrayed certain aspects, and opinions within the sex worker community were divided.

It shouldn't, for instance, if you said you had an "oriental rug" that should be acceptable, as should a food dish with that word.

My favorite song of his off his 1978 solo album, which was a cover of the UK Glam Rock band Hello, first done in 1975.

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/trump-threatens-federal-takeover-of-dc-after-attack-on-former-doge-worker Trump threatens federal takeover of DC after attack on former DOGE worker WASHINGTON (AP) — Two 15-year-olds have been arrested in Washington in connection with the attempted carjacking and beating of one of the most prominent members of the Department of Government Efficiency, renewing calls from President Donald Trump for the federal government to seize control of the nation’s capital. The victim, Edward Coristine, nicknamed “Big Balls,” was among the most visible figures of Trump’s DOGE, which was tasked with slashing federal bureaucracy. Coristine was assaulted around 3 a.m. Sunday in the city’s Logan Circle neighborhood by a group of teenagers attempting to carjack him and a woman whom police identified as his significant other, according to authorities. The Metropolitan Police Department said the group approached the couple’s car and made a comment about taking it. Coristine pushed the woman into the vehicle for safety and turned to confront the group. At least several of the teens then attacked him, police said, until officers patrolling nearby intervened. As officers moved toward the group, the teens fled on foot. Two 15-year-olds from Maryland were arrested on charges of unarmed carjacking, police said. The attack gave new fuel to long-standing Republican efforts to challenge Washington’s autonomy, with Trump threatening to bypass local authority and impose direct federal control over the city. In a social media post and remarks at the White House on Tuesday, the president described crime in Washington as “out of control.” “If D.C. doesn’t get its act together, and quickly, we will have no choice but to take Federal control of the City, and run this City how it should be run, and put criminals on notice that they’re not going to get away with it anymore,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

No he didn't and I don't think they have understood what exactly he said or are being intentionally obtuse.

He has this weird obsession with me for some reason (as evidenced by the half dozen threads he has started that names me, including, until recently, his "Father Trump" thread).

I have never heard of E 2.0 so I am not being humble.

It is looking more and more likely this will happen. From my friend Grok: Trump's White House Meeting Fails to Prevent Government Shutdown Deadline Last updated 42 minutes ago President Donald Trump convened with congressional leaders including House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer at the White House on September 29, 2025, in an effort to pass a continuing resolution before the October 1 funding deadline, but the discussions ended without agreement. Republicans advocate for a clean spending bill maintaining current funding levels, while Democrats insist on extending enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies set to expire on December 31, which could otherwise lead to premium increases for millions. A potential shutdown would furlough 2.3 million federal workers, close national parks, delay veterans' benefits, and halt economic data releases like the upcoming jobs report.
