@governorwalz.mn.gov tells @timmiller.bsky.social that he still doesn’t know the names of Alex Pretti’s killers. Watch and listen to the full conversation later today on the Bulwark Podcast.

The message of Trump’s letter to the prime minister of Norway signals that the president “genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him,” @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues.

Jesus, legit insane

That is the combination that makes the South what it is, really. Confidence high. Information low.

This is murder.

In a letter to convicted sex offender Larry Nassar, Jeffrey Epstein appeared to reference his suicide plan—and mentioned Donald Trump. "Our president also shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to ‘grab snatch.'" trib.al/kyM86fC

They booked a bunch of 14 year old models to come to a Mar A Lago party, told them to dress sexy and tried to ply them with alcohol.

Yoooooooooooooo

The Trump administration keeps threatening to interfere with the full release of the Epstein Files. To ensure there is no tampering with the files ahead of their legally-required release, we need an independent audit of who at the Justice Department had access. And when.

The GOP is pretending there’s no affordability crisis, and they hope you’ll pretend with them.

When we said democracy was on the ballot we weren't lying.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

People are like “don’t repost Trump’s video of him wearing a crown and dumping shit on Americans!” To the contrary, I want everyone in America and beyond to see it. I think it perfectly encapsulates his entire attitude.

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

As I was saying…

The Slaughter of the Innocents. Again. It is staggering that we are not staggered by this. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

These cops should lose their job and face charges. www.thebulwark.com/p/watch-trum...

"Liberals already ruined it" shows the plot here. These aren't impartial law enforcement officers protecting all citizens. They are partisan paramilitary militia, terrorizing domestic opponents.

I want you all to clearly understand our new reality. A mere tropical storm 400 miles away (from Martinique to Puerto Rico, or from central Bahamas to Miami) can intensify into a Category 4 cyclone like María in a matter of 24 hours. We’ve made our bed 🛏️ now we must lie in it.

After four months in the hell that is CECOT, Andry Hernández Romero is now free. @timmiller.bsky.social spoke to him in an exclusive interview about what he experienced, how he survived and how he plans to go forward. This is what he told Tim. 👇

Our country sent a young man to a foreign gulag where he was tortured and sexually assaulted. What do we owe him? @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social for @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/what-do-we...

📽️ WATCH: “The U.S. sent us to El Salvador so that El Salvador could do the dirty work that the U.S. couldn’t.” Hear from Juan José Ramos Ramos, Andry Omar Blanco Bonilla and Wilmer José Vega Sandia — three of 230+ Venezuelan men the Trump administration sent to CECOT — in their own words:

Leonardo José Colmenares Solórzano, a 31-year-old Venezuelan, wants the world to know that he was tortured over four months in a Salvadoran prison. He said guards stomped on his hands, poured filthy water into his ears and threatened to beat him.

The dam has burst

BREAKING: Senator Richard Durbin says that his office has obtained information that the Trump administration ordered all Epstein records that mentioned Donald Trump to be “flagged":

If you are inclined to gloat over the death of kids — or the death of ANYBODY — because they live in a place where 6 in 10 voted Trump instead of 5 in 10 or 4 in 10, then I think maybe you’re not here for the hunting.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

She’s right.

The President of the United States is a Russian asset. Fuck Trump.

Judge says Kilmar Abrego Garcia can go home. ICE says they’ll grab him the moment he walks free. Even prosecutors admit he might be deported before trial. This isn’t justice. It’s a system running on cruelty and excuses.

If someone tells you this charade was to celebrate the military show them this photo. Who and what do you see at the center. This propaganda shot cost millions of dollars to produce. Every element is intentional.

This is disgusting. If this is how they treat Alex Padilla, a United States Senator, how do you think they’ll treat you?

Today marks 2 weeks that trump said he needed to decide on more sanctions against Kremlin. He won't do it cos he'd happily to do to LA what he sees me doing to Kiev.

The anti-Tesla movement is one of the most successful cases of social coordination in American history. In the span of six months the Tesla brand has been made radioactive. This isn’t a subjective view. You can see it in the data.

If Biden, who is actually Catholic, posted a picture of himself as Pope there would be a thousand op-eds and cable news hits for months about how it was the most blasphemous thing an American president has ever done and we’d assume he had gone insane.

Finally! Attention is being paid to the gay guy. One fears the worst. Thank you, Dems. open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

A new study models the impact of the implosion of U.S.-funded disease treatment and prevention in the developing world — and suggests that Elon Musk and Marco Rubio will go down as among history’s greatest monsters if funding and effective administration are not restored.

The Trump administration has quietly doubled down on its decision to stop sending emergency food to children starving in Bangladesh, Somalia, and other countries. Without urgent intervention, these children might die within months, @hana-kiros.bsky.social reports. https://theatln.tc/kQAZFJJw

Van Hollen says they won't even let him speak with Garcia over the phone.

“This is not incarceration; it is liquidation. Incarceration is a penal act. It is controlled by laws. Liquidation is a political act. It is arbitrary, opaque, and unappealable. This is why Donald Trump cannot allow Kilmar Abrego Garcia to return to the U.S.” www.thebulwark.com/p/bring-him-...

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

Here's Trump saying to Bukele that "homegrown criminals are next" and talking about how El Salvador will need to build "about five more places."

President of El Salvador Nayib Bukele: "Mr. President, you have 350 million people to liberate. But to liberate 350 million people, you have to imprison some."

Democrat Cory Booker ends a more than 25-hour floor speech against President Trump's actions, the longest in Senate history.
