Real estate developers, Trump, Kushner, Witkoff are circling Gaza’s ocean front. These vultures are NOT, “peace” planners.

Washington Post This country has a longstanding and foundational tradition of resistance to government overreach, especially in the form of military intrusion into civil affairs. This historical tradition boils down to a simple proposition: this is a nation of constitutional law, not martial law.

WTF?

Recently-elected Arizona Democrat Adelita Grijalva could deliver the tie-breaking vote to release the government’s files on alleged sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. That is, if House Speaker Mike Johnson doesn’t delay her swearing in—and it looks like he’s planning to.

Washington Post-This is just the beginning of Trump’s revenge tour, of course. Perhaps he’ll have better luck pinning crimes on other targets. As it stands now, Trump’s opening indictment looks like an embarrassing dud. His opponents should be laughing more than cowering.

Trump is more concerned with projecting opulence and pomp than he is about governing. Above all, this gaudy ballroom shows that Trump really wants the White House to be just another tacky Mar-a-Lago.

An American president threatening to unleash the U.S. military on—to make war against—an American city would have seemed unthinkable very recently. Although such behavior remains appalling, it is no longer unexpected. Violent language is the mother tongue of this Trump administration.

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released an image “purportedly” of a drawing signed by Donald Trump as part of a “birthday book” they say was given to financier Jeffrey Epstein. (House Oversight Democrats)

MONDOWEISS It is a blatant display of the complete disinterest in and dehumanization of the Palestinians. The meeting was an exercise in fantasy. It was all about reviving a conversation that was happening a year ago about the “day after” in Gaza.
