Please remember that New York Knicks star OG Anunoby is an immigrant, while Karl-Anthony Towns & Jordan Clarkson are the children of immigrants. The same is true for multiple bench players. They represent the America that Trump wants to destroy. Don't let him claim their mantle.

This is an indicator of weakness on both sides. Bolton was not willing to take the risk of going to trial, even w/ a favorable jury pool. More so, it's reflective of challenges facing DOJ w/ using highly classified info at trial, esp. on how USG knew the Iranians got his emails.

If you want to understand why Trump named a political hack with no intelligence experience to be the Acting DNI, this is your answer. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

It's no coincidence that the first case in which Roberts exercised these unprecedented "shadow docket" powers involved climate change policy. Please always remember that his efforts to damage the planet should be as much a part of his legacy as his attacks on democracy.

Because the screenwriters like to constantly fuck with us, I give you the new prosecutor in the Brennan/Russia conspiracy case.

“Doctor…doctor…doctor…doctor…doctor…doctor…doctor…doctor…doctor…doctor…doctor…and doctor.”

Jokes aside, TMZ coming to DC is a big counterintelligence win too. The fewer scandalous secrets, the less likely it is that these bozos can be blackmailed by a foreign intel service. Bw people like Swalwell & Gonzales & the closeted MAGA warriors, imagine what is going on today.

The AI slop that designed this hellish simulation that we live in got kind of lazy when it came to designing its neofascist//Russian-controlled//white guy avatars.

It's cute that so many evangelicals are ignoring them most obvious explanation, which is that Trump has never read the Bible and has no idea what idolatry is.

Good afternoon! Since Trump was re-elected, Forbes estimates— 💰His net worth is up $2 billion, to $6.3 billion 💰Eric’s is up 10x, to $400 million 💰Don Jr.’s is up 6x, to $300 million 💰20-year-old Barron is worth $150 million And Jared became a billionaire last year. Have a great day!

I feel like watching the movie Space Camp about fifty times as a kid makes me an expert on the challenges of reentering the Earth’s atmosphere.

I don't know about you, but I am constantly sending unsolicited emails to people I don't have a relationship with to congratulate them on their magazine photos, inquire about their travels, and ask them to call me next time they are in town. All. The. Time. Same for you?

One of the few people who can prove whether Melania is lying about Epstein is Ghislaine Maxwell. Trump's personal lawyer, now the Acting AG, transferred her to a minimum security prison. And Trump has publicly said that he "wishes her well." Nothing to see here.

It feels like we are entering the “inject bleach into your veins” phase of Trump’s handling of the Iran war.

If only the Trump team could have anticipated that a desperate country might use Shahed drones to target the energy infrastructure of its neighbors.

Seems like a bad reason

I think it’s more likely that Hegseth thinks “no quarter” sounds cool since he sees it in his Christian Nationalist 4Chan groups all the time, and doesn’t know what it actually means.

Huge, huge bummer. This is one of the most promising technologies I've ever covered.

I know there's a lot going on in the world right now, but we need to talk about back-in parking. It's become a national crisis.

Rallying around the flag means rallying around the Constitution, not the unscrupulous leaders who trample upon it.

It's very unfortunate that this moment may be upon us. Hopefully we avoid Iranian attacks on US civilians, but if that happens, it's absolutely critical that Democrats remind the public of how we got here. That story must feature the GOP Congress that enabled this debacle.

They are very deliberately and maliciously destroying the country's national security apparatus. When inevitably there's an attack and US citizens die, the blood will be on this Administration's hands. Democrats need to build that narrative now. apnews.com/article/trum...

It's just amazing, and horrifying, that so many people have zero dignity whatsoever. All because of one man.

Perhaps there were some early signs that Will Lewis was a moron.

Aged well, sadly

You might be able to find an endless supply of MAGA warriors to be ICE agents, but that's not true for DOJ. At this pace, DOJ will soon have a significant shortfall of criminal & civil attorneys, with no backfill. Charges won't be filed. Civil cases will receive half-hearted defenses, if any at all.

Donald Trump’s first appearance in the NYT— “Major Landlord Accused of Antiblack Bias in City” from 1973

If they're willing to do this shit in public, imagine what they're doing behind closed doors.

I get that having a robust media is more important but at some point can we talk about how Jeff Bezos ruined Whole Foods too???

Things are so bad that the Minnesota prison system has had to launch a website specifically to combat DHS lies. The first major release from DOC officials suggests Gregory Bovino outright lied about the target of the Border Patrol operation during which agents shot and killed Alex Pretti.

Who's gonna be the first person to present a fake Nobel Prize to Trump in the Oval Office? The competition is going to be intense!

Life comes at you fast.

The President is relying on the same legal theory for attacking Venezuela as he is for deploying US troops in American cities. Let that sink in.

I still contend that this is the greatest DOJ redaction of all time.

Huh, what happened?

This is stunning. Blanche is claiming, with a straight face, that the only federal prison where a convicted sex offender can adequately be protected from other inmates just so happens to be a minimum security prison that gives her puppy playdates. Truly preposterous.

I'm starting to wonder if Trump's campaign promise to release the Epstein files was not made in good faith. It's not like they've had 11 months to prepare or anything.

Release the Trump List.

No war for oil.

So the DOD IG concluded that Hegseth: ✅ endangered our service members; ✅ knowingly shared info that had been classified on Signal; ✅ obstructed the investigation; ✅ violated multiple DOD regulations; and ✅ basically did what Hillary did but A LOT worse. Total exoneration!

Before applauding the DOD IG too much, it's fairly absurd that he did not: (a) launch a broader investigation into Hegseth's use of Signal - what else did he compromise?; (b) take him to task for his non-cooperation; & (c) try to get the full Signal chats from other agency IGs.

That Hegseth had declassification authority is largely irrelevant in Signalgate for two reasons: First, it doesn't change the fact that he put US service members in danger. Second, he never claimed that he exercised that authority, nor followed any processes for doing so.

We’ve had corrupt presidents before (for example: the Nixon-ITT scandal, Clinton’s pardon of Marc Rich, etc.), but Trump is our first affirmatively pro-corruption, pro-bribery president. Promoting corruption is Trump’s central policy achievement.
