Reminds me of El Presidente in "Bananas" who issued stark raving mad executive orders...like wear your underwear on the outside. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukr3...

The whole thing is begging for an investigation. Kick backs? What did Trump know? What did Bondi and Bove ask for? Did they let Homan see the evidence?

This is corruption squared. Homan corrupt. DOJ corrupt.

I hope Disney's CEO likes the rest of the world's take on his company. Is firing Kimmel worth becoming a fascist laughingstock? By the way, this is hilarious.

Sua Sponte, the judge throws out Trump's complaint against the NY Times. Trump has 28 days if he wants to file a better version of the complaint. Trump's attorneys should be embarrassed.

Is Trump threatening GOP governors if they don't come up with more congressmen? Outrageous, yes. But consistent with Trump the mob. Remember Trump threatening Georgia officials if they didn't find 11,780 votes?

The Pentagon is ready to throw their oaths in the trash can.

Trump's FCC wants television media to read from government ordered scripts. Where have we heard this before?

Report: Military lawyers warned about Trump boat bombings but were ignored. Lawyers said participating military personnel are exposed to legal consequences.

The outrageous legal actions by Texas AG Paxton are a forewarning of what Trump and Miller want to do to liberal organizations. Texas' conservative appeal court ruled that prior restraint is a no-no under the Texas Constitution.

Robert Redford will be missed. I recall the 1970's political thriller, Three Days of the Condor, which focused on government abuse and whistleblowers. The plot reflects a naive belief that the NY Times will stand up to abuse of power...something that may no longer apply. youtu.be/mU8tQTNlPAM?...

Washington Post: Selling out democracy, one journalist at a time.

Editorial in South Korea brings the FIRE. ICE arrests reminiscent of 19th century slave traders. No explanation as to why the agency needed helicopters for the operation.

Who could blame S. Korea for never spending another dime in the USA? ICE forced detained workers to "bend down and lick water to drink." Ordinary South Koreans were shocked by the inhumane conditions in 2025.

Autocracy accelerates as World War II passes from living memory. .."there are consequences. They can come upon us suddenly, like a mugger in the dark and then multiply and spin out of control." Observations in 2016.

How far along are we on the NAZI Germany time line?

Disgraceful action by Trump's ICE goons. S. Korean workers part of legitimate visa waiver program. Npw they will have PTSD from being chased by armored vehicles and chained like 19th century prisoners. They were here to train American workers. No good turn goes unpunished.

Pulte: a slanderous liar. Trump's "firing" was based on a lie. Conservative economist Stephen Moore criticized Cook on the Bill Maher show. Maher said Trump's allegation isn't proven. Moore said "that's true but my friends at the DOJ tell me that they don't have any doubt about prosecuting her."

Have we ever seen a legal institution destroy its own credibility and legitimacy this quickly?

It's like we live in the worst of times...Trump defends domestic violence.

This is well stated. Clearly and simply. Will GOP members of congress understand it, though?

Why does Trump identify with Col. Kilgore? Does he realize that Apocalypse Now was making fun of Kilgore? He was a darkly comedic character.

A president who accuses others of stolen valor perpetrates the political equivalent of stolen valor.

Rand Paul may not be right often. But when he's right, he right.

Self-explanatory.

Remember when Trump said foreign firms would invest trillions of dollars to build factories in the U.S.? Things are going great, right? What foreign corporation wants to invest billions and have their employees arrested when they travel to the U.S.?

Saying the bad part out loud. Can't say that I'm surprised.

Next we will read the WaPo and NYT call RFK Jr. a microbe-skeptic and tell us there are two sides to the microbe story.

America, what are we doing?

Holy hell. Sam Houston needs to come from the grave and slap Abbott around.

He will declare a housing emergency? Let's see...he raids construction sites and deports buildiers' workers...he puts tariffs on construction supplies. Hey, he is doing a great job of reducing housing costs.

Trump administration uses "wondrous" conspiracy laws to gut the first amendment.

"This entire case hinges on the unverified word of an occupying force..." Bondi pushing for detention of a Black lawyer.

The corruption in the Trump administration is all consuming. Lutnick is like one of those unbelievable characters on "Billions."

Horrid. There was a time when this would have been the top story on network nightly news Now the media treats Gestapo behavior as the new normal. Normalizing the abnormal.

DHS software provides "exciting new features" to disenfranchise voters.

Short version: Science says most Trump supporters are bad people.

“He always came across as a churchgoing, respectable man,” one resident told local television reporters. Familiar words.

Just another version of Trump's "suckers and losers."

After Paul Krugman criticized Trump's firing of the Federal Reserve governor, he receives this threat. This is how MAGA will try to eliminate dissent.

District of Columbia jail refuses to comply with judge's order to release a woman. Is that the new normal? (FBI had sworn out a complaint alleging that she spit at a policemen at the zoo.)

Take this to heart. Tne news media needs to read it, as well as the leaders of institutions who bend a knee to Trump. If you don't resist now, the day will come that it's too late.

Truth.

The cruelty is the point for DOGE. A bunch of kids putting families in danger, just for kicks.

What would Putin want from his asset, Tulsi? Fire the NSA's top mathematician sounds like something Putin would love. Mathematics is critical to the "puzzle palace."

Protesters are "elderly white hippies" who have "never been part of the city" and are "all over 90 years old." Miller is disgusting. The only people who count are nazis.

"As a licensed attorney, Representative Collier took an Oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of Texas and the United States...Citizens have the right to object to illegal restraint by the government."

Nazis + propaganda = fun day at Homeland Security

The escalating price of electricity caused by AI. Who pays for it will be determined by state public utility commissions. If the cost is spread to all ratepayers, the impact will be highly inflationary.
