Dispatch from war ravaged Portland. Aggression being met with long lines of revolutionaries fighting back by peacefully assembling, bearing signs, walking silently and leaving flowers at the foot of ICE HQ. This is the way.

This tired, deeply-damaged man is so needy. He has to have references to him being president on his hat, on his shirt, and on a golf-framed placard next to his overcooked cheeseburger he's almost too-out-of-it to eat.

Portland somehow made it through the night. Our bookstores, food carts, retirees in Birkenstocks and pups are all fine. I’m launching a Sunday Funday counter offensive—by fighting against bad coffee, raiding a local market, suffering through an outdoor concert and laying siege to an indie bookstore.

Not in Portland but will bathe in patchouli in solidarity.
In all seriousness though, this is fascism. My heart goes out to all who live there.

Brilliant. Nothing the other dude and his team can respond with that doesn’t shine a light on how small, inane & tired the schtick is. The absurdity is it’s power and, while imitation may be flattery elsewhere, here it’s CA Gov looming large above a dumpy, not smart, old guy whose time has passed 🤌

Every activated Guardsman has a family, a job, school, or something that they are leaving to do their duty.
It’s one thing when it’s a war… or a real mass civil disturbance, which those only last a few days.
But to rip these people from their lives for a show… is awful.

So many questions;
16 year old Virginia Giuffre was one of the stolen girls, she was a key witness who suddenly died by suicide this year!
Why was a 16 year-old girl working in the Mar-a-Lago spa?
Trump says “Epstein stole young girls from him”
Did Trump own these young girls?

Guest: The dichotomy that's happening where Trump is talking about Virginia Giuffre as property that Epstein stole, and Ghislaine Maxwell, who Virginia said was more monstrous than Epstein. All this is happening at the same time they're floating the idea that Maxwell might get a pardon or immunity

This sure reads like a confession to me:

Jeffrey: Yes, we do, come to think of it.
Donald: Enigmas never age, have you noticed that?
Jeffrey: As a matter of fact, it was clear to me the last time I saw you.

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social in the last 24-36 hours the president said that President Obama wrote the Epstein Files, that his uncle taught the unibomber, and that Biden, not him, appointed Powell. Are you going to make issue of his cognitive state now or you holding out for another book deal?

I have never been more certain that Trump is in the Epstein files.
Q: Why do you think your supporters have been so interested in the Epstein story?
TRUMP: I don't understand it. He's dead for a long time. He was never a big factor in terms of life. I don't understand what the fascination is. The credible information has been given. It's pretty boring stuff.
