Me, I'd have a table right by a door so I could come and go quickly and quietly, but Trump needs his ego massaged constantly.

There's some significant magical thinking going on in this claim, actually several levels of magical thinking.

Investigative Reporter Jordan Green reports that a Fort Worth trial will test whether the Justice Department under Donald Trump can brand anti-ICE activists as “antifa” terrorists. Read the full story at bit.ly/4bWyWNT #AntifaTrial #ICEProtests #TexasTrial #InvestigativeReporting

I can’t help thinking there’s so much money changing hands wrt ICE detention that there aren’t even enough investigative reporters to track www.michiganpublic.org/criminal-jus...

Do Not EVER eat at Mar-a-Lago. Most unappetizing food I've ever seen.

Tricia McLaughlin is reportedly out at DHS, according to multiple sources. She’s a very close ally of Noem. That news, plus stories like the below which are coming out daily, strongly suggest the knives are clearly out for Noem inside DHS.

Since October, federal courts have ruled more than 4,400 times that ICE is illegally jailing immigrants. Now the agency wants to spend $38B to turn warehouses across the country into detention camps. Remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies running these camps.

President Trump keeps threatening to unilaterally impose rules (like voter ID requirements) on upcoming elections. Monday’s "One First" explains why—whether as a matter of constitutional law, existing federal statutes, or simple, practical logistics—his (ominous) threats are ultimately empty ones:

Nope. Wealthy hoard wealth much more than they spread it around. Look at 40+ years of trickle down compared to 60 years of taxing the wealthy and big business.

I'm married to a pediatrician and I love the AAP and also it's gotta bug them that they constantly have to write op-eds like "it is bad to put children into concentration camps, actually." And "It is bad to let children get vaccine preventable illnesses that kill or maim them."

Looks like we already have more concentration camps than Germany circa 1940. slate.trib.al/wfgeJk6

Happy money less lives, kids and grandkids! I'm living it up, you pay for it.

If approved, the trademark would permit the president to profit from "a range of branded merchandise."

Not only did Trump fail to learn any lessons from covid, but his public health policies have somehow gotten far more dangerous and destructive in Trump 2.0. God forbid he and RFK Jr have to handle a global pandemic. We'll be pining for the days of Dr. Birx.

Hegseth just killed a bunch more people.

If Trump's seizure of Venezuela's oil is simply "diplomacy," so were Bonnie and Clyde's visits to banks.

In a way, not surprising at all. Public officials like Dr. Birx (who was actually a respected expert on AIDS before Covid) and Fauci often restrained Trump's impulses and Trump hated it. He believes Covid cost him the election (and it did). His new appointees are a revenge against public health.

Rep. Buddy Carter: "Some of the demands that the Democrats have put forth, we're not gonna be able to obtain that. We can't have a warrant every time."

Mark Warner, vice chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, on elections: In the past, we’ve mostly seen foreign interference — my bigger fear now is domestic interference, some of that potentially originating inside the administration.

"The owners of a Dallas County warehouse that ICE had planned to use as a mega detention center said Monday it will not sell or lease the property to the federal government. “God answered our prayers,” the Hutchins Mayor said after learning of the decision... www.dallasnews.com/news/immigra...

Last year, multiple mega law firms pledged almost $1 BILLION in “pro bono” legal services to Convicted Felon Trump & his Regime. I am demanding these firms actually show their work as I don't think they’re benefiting society, but merely helping Trump line his own pockets. youtu.be/mUssE1KBbNw?...

CNN’s Harry Enten: “Some talk about Trump's floor of support...I'm not sure he has a floor! His net approval is at a term 2 low across a number of pollsters. Trump's now in worse shape than he was at this point in term 1 or where Biden was at this point in his one term. He's way underwater.”

As a White House ethics lawyer I told staff: “Be allergic to free stuff” and not to even accept a can of soda from someone with business before the White House. So how has the story of a UAE royal making a deal worth nearly $200m to the Trump family fallen out of news? www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

Important news: DOJ says it is done releasing and unredacting Epstein Files as Trump urges the nation to move on. More than 10 Trump officials are in the files. Kristi Noem says she will work to make sure the “right people” elect the “right leaders”

Melania Trump is the second least popular first lady, a recent poll has found.

I served on a state Grand Jury for six months. After seeing that process first hand, I cannot imagine the level of incompetence it would take for a prosecutor to not convince a SINGLE juror to indict. Hell, just by law of averages, at least a couple of the 20+ jurors would usually believe anything.

“🇺🇸 agriculture is on the verge of widespread collapse… they’re asking for a rollback of virtually every policy Trump has introduced.” As Republicans try to distance Trump policies from🧑‍🌾 farmer struggles, the truth is clear: www.facebook.com/share/v/17Up...

“Russia’s economy hasn’t collapsed. It has entered the “death zone”—surviving by consuming its own future. Growth at 1%. Budget deficit rising. Military sector expands while civilian industry shrinks. Interest payments > education + healthcare. No climber survives this altitude forever.”
