Imagine interviewing a victim of torture and independently confirming the details of his torture and then being told you can’t broadcast it because the people who ordered the torture wouldn’t give their side of the story.
Jeremy Paner, a former lead investigator and analyst for the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), said Saturday’s action “runs counter to Trump’s statement” that his blockade applies only to ships under U.S. sanctions. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American.
Two options:
1) ICE deliberately targeted him.
2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens.
Hard to say which option is scarier.
This is a chance for me to share the most precise definition of "woke" I've ever seen, coming from the GOP's favorite neo-Nazi, whom JD Vance courts harder than his wife.
Fuentes was talking about how much he loved Trump's comments on Somali-Americans, and mocked Trump a bit for stealing his act.
The real divide in America isn’t whether or not you believe this. Literally no one believes this.
The real divide is between the people who think lying should matter—and the people who’ll make an exception for our Great Leader.
If America’s highest court carves out an exception for the tariffs, the major-questions doctrine will seem to apply only to the power wielded by Democrats
"A couple of speakers said they were skeptical that the measles outbreaks in South Carolina and Texas were real..." The wages of conspiracism is death. It's a free pass to discount any truth you don't want to hear. Except it's not really free.

Have you experienced “shrinkflation” in Trump’s economy?
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that sans serif fonts aren’t suited for world-class diplomacy and ordered the department to drop Calibri in favor of Times New Roman, reversing a Biden-era policy intended to help employees who are visually impaired.
There has never been a President that has worked as hard as me! My hours are the longest, and my results are among the best. I’ve stopped Eight Wars, saving many millions of lives in the process, created the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country, brought Business back into the United States at levels never seen before, rebuilt our Military, created the Largest Tax Cuts and Regulation Cuts, EVER, closed our open and very dangerous Southern Border, when previous Administrations were unable to do so, and created an “aura” around the United States of America that has led every Country in the World to respect us more than ever before. In addition to all of that, I go out of my way to do long, thorough, and very boring Medical Examinations at the Great Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, seen and supervised by top doctors, all of whom have given me PERFECT Marks — Some have even said they have never seen such Strong Results. I do these Tests because I owe it to our Country. In addition to the Medical, I have done something that no other President has done, on three separate occasions, the last one being recently, by taking what is known as a Cognitive Examination, something which few people would be able to do very well, including those working at The New York Times, and I ACED all three of them in front of large numbers of doctors and experts, most of whom I do not know. I have been told that few people have been able to “ace” this Examination and, in fact,
most do very poorly, which is why many other Presidents have decided not to take it at all. Despite all of this, the time and work involved, The New York Times, and some others, like to pretend that I am “slowing up,” am maybe not as sharp as I once was, or am in poor physical health, knowing that it is not true, and knowing that I work very hard, probably harder than I have ever worked before. I will know when I am “slowing up,” but it’s not now! After all of the work I have done with Medical Exams, Cognitive Exams, and everything else, I actually believe it’s seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean “THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.” They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it. They have inaccurately reported on all of my Election Results and, in fact, were forced to apologize on much of what they wrote. The best thing that could happen to this Country would be if The New York Times would cease publication because they are a horrible, biased, and untruthful “source” of information. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.
the American Dream always was that your kids would give up pencils to help fulfill the plan and beat the capitalists in pig iron production
At a certain point even the most ethical criminal lawyers are going to feel compelled to describe their clients' conviction as "an Obama-Biden type set up" as zealous advocacy and that's so corrosive that I'm not entirely sure we can recover from that.
Brett Kavanaugh sees no problem with this woman being forced to do this every day for the rest of her life
They reportedly want to open an enterprise investigation. Here is an excerpt from the relevant portion of the FBI manual about when you can't start an enterprise investigations
Our leader is having repeated trouble staying awake at public events he's hosting; is acting more erratically online and in public; is making decisions that are doing clear material harm to the country & our allies. Simply, his declining health must become a bigger issue.

credit to NYT for not sanewashing the appalling bigotry we saw today in the WH
"Even for Mr. Trump — who has a long history of insulting Black people, particularly those from African countries — his outburst was shocking in its unapologetic bigotry."
Reuters reached out to everyone that Trump or his subordinates singled out publicly for retribution, and reviewed hundreds of official orders, directives and public records. The result: the most comprehensive accounting yet of his campaign of payback.

Anti-socialism update:
Trump says a lot of outrageous things, and we’ve come to accept it. But come on. Hang them? The media has collectively decided we ought to shrug these things off as Trump being Trump. Yes; it is Trump being Trump.

Great read from Dan Rather:
"...The very existence of a free press is a threat to this president’s modus operandi, which is to govern by lying. Why would he want people around him who ask for facts and truthful answers?..."
