Trump is rewarding Russians who are helping Iran target our military

This story is wild. As far as I can tell from the body camera clips I watched, the footage shows MPD special operations strategizing their forcible entry into private property without a warrant, based on the say-so of a political appointee with nothing more than a stack of print outs.

Mayor Mamdani and a child play with Legos while looking very serious and concentrated. The child is impossibly adorable and wearing tiny blue glasses.

- Ruled in favor of election deniers seeking private health info to prove voter misconduct
- Was endorsed by key players in the bid to overturn the 2020 election
- Defended GOP gerrymandering and voter ID requirements

This is one of the most jaw dropping moments of Trump’s presidency. Up there with brainstorming about injecting bleach and shining light up orifices to cure COVID.

Transcript: Trump Hit by Damning Iran Leaks as Polls Turn Brutal Fast As media scrutiny of Trump’s attack on Iran intensifies, the author of a piece on White House lawbreaking explains why his violent β€œmad king” public image is already turning people against the war.

"I think what we’re seeing is 11-year-olds with the most powerful military in the entire world, which is a pretty scary thing to see in action. And also, doesn’t it really look, from the New York Times reporting at least, like Netanyahu just bulldozed Trump into this?" trib.al/wduBsHM

He seems pretty sensitive whenever someone confronts him with evidence that Putin might not be our friend. Even when Fox brings it up.

This should be shocking: Always defending Putin. It is the prime directive of the Trump Administration. Even when he is actively aiding our enemies in ways that will put our military and embassy personnel and allies at risk. Does anyone doubt where his loyalties actually lie?

Q: Could you tell us what went into your decision to replace Kristi Noem with Markwayne Mullin?

Stephen Miller is responsible for sending innocent human beings to El Salvador to be tortured. He and his boss are responsible for the murder of Alex Pretti and Rene Good. They're responsible for 165 children being murdered in Minab, Iran. His boss is an adjudicated rapist.

House Homeland RM Bennie Thompson's statement on the strategy: "What little 'substance' does exist...is...vague platitudes, a long catalogue of β€˜we will’ statements that may or may not match the Administration's current behavior, and, mercifully, an apparent extension of some Biden-era policies."

As expected, the strategy is very short, very high-level, and very bombastic, with multiple references to Trump's military operations but almost no promised actions. Six focus areas are deterrence, deregulation, modernizing govt networks, securing infrastructure, tech dominance, and workforce.

We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP β€” Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

My report:

Now that they're trying to pretend their war is not a war, they've gone back to calling it the Defense Department.

The red "wasted" visual in the White House video game graphic is just beyond vile. This involves real human beings. They know civilians are being killed. They're reveling in it.

Tesla sued after Austin shooting suspect allegedly assaulted co-worker A 65-year-old woman says the automaker ignored warning signs before Ndiaga Diagne, the suspect in Sunday’s mass shooting, assaulted her. She sued Thursday.

the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year

the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter
