"Ultimately, the problem isn’t simply that these incentives reward someone like Donald Trump. It’s that they’re quietly remaking the entire political landscape in his image. The media may not love Donald Trump. But its own fucked-up incentives are creating a world designed for someone like him."

I’m glad my subscription lapses this month.
Nope. This was a terror bombing, pure and simple.
I like the way some countries have Crisis of Confidence procedures that automatically trigger a vote for new government. WE NEED THAT HERE! We'll never be safe from GOP majority in government.
The shortest distance between where we are now and entrenched fascism is a terror attack. That is why we are at war with Iran. That is why Trump shrugs at the possibility of deaths on U.S. soil. And that is why Patel fired the FBI's Iranian counter-intel personnel before the first bomb fell.
Trump can walk away from this “little excursion” as he now calls it, but I have a feeling that Iran isn’t going to let bygones be bygones for a few more decades.
Of course during the week there is the ART 75.
Saturdays Metrobus A66 runs Pentagon City-Shirlington-Culmore every half hour & stops at Wakefield High. From the north, take the A76 & transfer to the A66 westbound at Leesburg Pike & Carlin Springs, or if you are able to walk 3/10 of a mile, stay on the A76 to S. Geo. Mason & walk to Wakefield
A nursing home fraudster paid $960K to voter-suppression lobbyists and got a presidential pardon after 3 months of a 3-year sentence. The other inmates at Otisville took notes. https://rachelandthecity.com/freedom-is-for-sale-and-the-price-list-just-leaked/ #ratcclips
Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday
Kinda surprised he hasn't already TBH
Mike Johnson has effectively shut down the government.
Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.
There are not that many of them and have stretched themselves thin. They have few allies, and those are unreliable. Plus they are just not smart—stupid and short sighted. Look at how they never even considered the need to evacuate citizens. They can’t do this. They can’t run a country. They=MAGA.
he would burn down the whole world because he can
J.D. Vance is Trump. Every Republican is Trump. I can prove it.
She works for Putin. Her job was difficult when she had to breed with Krasnov Don. Nevertheless, she is a mercenary and a traitor to the United States.
You may be right. BUT I'm going down swinging. I suggest you do too. Because you may NOT be right.
Benjamin Netanyahu and Vladimir Putin.
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.
DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.
He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.
The grift continues.
The round-up of all Muslims in the US is what Miller (and thus the don) wants and this is the set-up.
