Axios has a lot of explaining to do.

“But the second he encounters someone with spine, someone with moral clarity, someone unmoved by bluster, he folds. He wilts. He sits there like a dog brought instantly to heel, panting for approval from the very man he swore he would obliterate.” open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

Now, Rubio is denying it had anything to do with the U.S. This is a major foreign policy scandal. 3/3

Stunning development: Senators now confirm the Trump admin’s 28-point “peace plan” for Ukraine wasn’t a U.S. plan at all. It was a Russian wish list. Follow along. This is crazy. 1/

Now this should be a Super Bowl ad. Or just an ad on Fox daily.

His approval ratings are at historical lows. Thanks again Fox"News" for posting this. This is a network that agreed to pay $787.5 Million for lying to you. www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

Trump cozies up to Mandami like we've never seen him cozy up to anyone. Why would he do that? Anyone who doesn't smell a rat here hasn't been paying attention to Trump's lifelong behavior. If Mandami has an "accident", look at the level of plausible deniability that Trump just created for himself.

this morning's Fox & Friends featured commercials for Trump Watches *and* Trump-branded handguns. a level of presidential grifting that was unfathomable a decade ago.

Donald Trump is trying to transfer Colorado-convicted elections clerk, Tina Peters, from state prison to a federal prison, although she was convicted of state crimes (election fraud). He's trying to pardon her – although this would be illegal. If he succeeds in transferring her, he will pardon her.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

The rhetoric Trump is pushing is extremely dangerous. He has now reposted a comment from a user that said: “HANG THEM GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD!!”

Leader Jeffries: "There is no bottom when it comes to Donald Trump. "We have been in contact with the House Sergeant at Arms and the U.S. Capitol Police to ensure the safety of these Members and their families. Donald Trump must immediately delete these unhinged social media posts."

Is there ever a line for the demented cult otherwise known as the GOP? The completely and utterly deranged POTUS, who constantly acts like a completely unhinged maniac, has now called for killing Democrats in Congress who say the military shouldn’t follow *ILLEGAL* orders. He is a fucking lunatic.

We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community. The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution. Don’t give up the ship.

Trump and his best friend, the dead pedophile. gregolear.substack.com/p/cast-him-o...

This was so damn good!

Tucker Carlson is even questioning what happened in Butler. turnto10.com/news/nation-...

WH is preparing to unveil Ukraine–Russia peace plan within days. They negotiated it directly with Moscow, w/o Ukraine or Europe. WH will present it to Ukraine as fait accompli, saying Zelenskyy, under pressure, will have no choice. As for Europe: “We don’t really care,” per senior official.

For Trump: extravagant dinners with murderous dictators who fill the pockets of him and his family and friends For you: higher prices

President Trump pardoned a retired New York police sergeant convicted of stalking and acting as an unregistered foreign agent in a Chinese government plot to coerce a New Jersey couple into returning to China.

Trump on MBS: "He's investing $1 trillion into the United States." THE ENTIRE SAUDI ARABIA GDP IS $1.1 TRILLION.

Looks like someone told him "Hey, go ahead and vote yes. Trump opened a sham investigation so nothing will come out. You're safe."

“Keep your voice down.” “That’s enough of you.” “Be nice; don’t be threatening.” “There was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.” “Quiet, piggy.” This is a sampling of what the president of the United States has said to and about female journalists.

Look, I know we're all sick of hearing "if this had happened with any other president ..." but it's absolutely true and absolutely can't be forgotten. For some reason, this nation gives this idiotic spoiled brat a free pass from things that would destroy the administration of any other person.

‼️‼️

A police officer in Tennessee who was working JD Vance's motorcade is in critical condition after a crash. I haven't seen a single statement of condolences or prayer from Vance about the officer in days. If someone got hurt for you, wouldn't you at the very least say something?

This is terrifying

Translation: they’ve finished scrubbing and re-manufacturing whatever is there.

We wrote this to help you imagine how quickly a city can change under Trump… Charlotte was once a place of slow, easy mornings, coffee cups clinking in cozy cafés, jazz drifting through open doors on Tryon Street, families stepping onto the light rail with strollers and soccer bags.

Chris Murphy: "He wouldn't be going through all of this effort to try to stop the release of these files if he wasn't seriously implicated in those files. This is most likely the biggest corruption scandal in the history of the country. We know that b/c Trump is going to these extraordinary lengths"

if we tax them more, how will they pay for all the blood cleansing, cell rejuvenation, and transcranial magnetic stimulation they need? www.wsj.com/lifestyle/tr...

Pam Bondi has posted rants and videos saying that there’ll be no mercy for those who threaten federal agents. But she and her boss just pardoned a woman who threatened to shoot federal agents. Why did this Florida woman get a pass? She’s MAGA. Trump doesn’t care about federal agents. Never did.

Wait. Why would Marjorie Taylor Greene calling to release the Epstein files be a betrayal to Donald Trump and the entire Republican Party?

Hmmm … 🤔

👇👇👇👇

Yikes 😬 an official U.S. government account just referred to Americans as “imbecilic morons.” That’s… a choice.

FACT CHECK: TRUE

Trump has now “opened an ongoing investigation” into Jeffrey Epstein so that no one can legally talk about it in the media.

Oh ffs. Trump’s White House is naming fentanyl as a chemical weapon to justify the indiscriminate “drug boat” bombings it’s been carrying out in the Caribbean, which have killed 80 people to date. newrepublic.com/post/203243/...

The important thing is not whether the Trump performing sexual favors for Bill Clinton thing is true. The important thing is that we all pretend it’s true, and that someone asks Trump about it every day.

So then he’ll say, “oh, we can’t release the files because it’s under investigation.” Just like “I’d be happy to release my taxes but I’m under audit.”

And just like that, they stopped caring about emails.

Sad.

Trump is demanding that GOP side with him over Epstein's victims, Rep Ansari tells me. She had a harrowing exchange with one victim who recounts how her mom had cancer and he exploited that. Also note her mockery of network disclaimers on Trump. More like this, Ds: newrepublic.com/article/2031...

Good to see: @repyassansari.bsky.social tells me she expects 50 Republicans to vote to release Epstein files (agreeing w/MTG). Dems also want to bring in heads of financial institutions on Epstein transactions. "The dam is breaking," Ansari says. Listen to her here: newrepublic.com/article/2031...

Yet when people do it with money. It’s completely normal behavior.

Most people who support billionaires are those who want a place near the fire, even if it means leaving everyone out in the cold. But to me. Absolutely everything that is happening in this world is because of a class war. Not a culture war. The billionaires and the capitalists
