“The loyalists around Trump are much more open and much bolder in their authoritarianism than they were six months ago," says Steve Levitsky. "They’ve learned fight by fight that they can get away with it." Trump's accomplices are running wild. Examples below: newrepublic.com/article/1996...

On Israeli Channel 14 today, the elite IDF Sayeret Golani unit, which carried out an attack on Nasser Hospital that killed 20, expresses anger over Netanyahu’s characterization of the attack as a mishap demands an apology. Note how NYT failed to report any of this, as usual.

Pam B(l)ondi. Hitler's dog was called Blondi. Just saying.

It's worth reiterating that the administration has never wavered from the position that it sent Kilmar Abrego Garcia to an El Salvador prison by accident. Everything they've done since is calculated to obscure that and punish him for existing as an example of their own stupidity and callousness.

This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵

The ONLY evidence that the U.S. government has ever offered to suggest this man is a gang member is that in 2023, he was on a bus in Guatemala and U.S. officials in the country doing migration checks saw that he was wearing Air Jordans. Seriously. That's it. Wearing Air Jordans. That was it.

The people dominating our political landscape, culture, and economy are just so stupid and full of shit it's almost impossible to describe

Ynet is now suggesting that a senior advisor to Benjamin Netanyahu who was arrested on child sex charges in Nevada had his bond paid by the Israeli government and was released to travel back to Israel after Trump intervened in the matter. www.ynetnews.com/article/s1ms...

Trump pardoned Jared Wise, a January 6th rioter who repeatedly urged the mob to “kill” police officers there. He called the cops Nazis and “the Gestapo” The same Jared Wise currently serves as a senior adviser in Pam Bondi’s Department of Justice.
