Every guess as to Trumpâs strategy should avoid underestimating how much he likes inflicting pain on people who canât fight back, how much his blighted psyche needs to subjugate and dominate

Because Trump does so many outlandish or abusive things, and because it's less invisible, I think we underappreciate the extent to which incompetence makes the federal government terrible at basic operation

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

Itâs true, every bureaucratic decision interposed between the person and voting (as to whether citizenship is proven, whether names in database match up) is an opportunity for mischief or arbitrary behavior.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paulâan hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Members of Congress confirm that the âunredactedâ Epstein files remain redacted because deranged MAGA scumbag Kash Patel had the FBI scrub them back in March and gave the redacted copies to bribe for hire Pam Bondi. The biggest cover up in US history. They should be in jail.

ICE detained multiple kids (all under the age of 10!) in the last week alone. Still kidnapping people based solely on the way they look. Still arresting parents at school pick up. Nothing has changed in Minnesota. Nice words from the Admin wonât change that. ICE leaving will.

Notably the feds are not murdering dispatchers, they're murdering people who are following them around, because they are murdering people in spasms of thuggish violence rather than as part of a calculated strategy of death squads or whatever you imagine it to be.
