I think it should probably be a bigger story that the president of the United States is a raving lunatic
Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast: "We hit 'em. And we want to hit 'em right, sir, and we want to hit them from the top! East, west, north, south. Sir, they won't know what the hell! And we'll knock them out. We did it politically correct. Five years."

I had seen the "hold me in contempt so I can sleep" line, but the whole transcript is striking. Julie Le she tried to quit but then stayed so she could get more people OUT of detention; and expressed concern that her own family might get picked up.

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

According to Harmeet Dhillon and Pam Bondi, disturbing a church service is a felony that deserves immediate arrest for. Think they'll go after these ICE agents?

Neither Trump nor the GOP in congress have this power, & the only way they do this is if we decline to stand up for our rights. He's had a string of electoral defeats & rightfully fears the midterms. His outbursts are real threats, but they come from weakness. Tough shit, he's going down. No Kings.
Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"

Two days ago, the president used his social media platform to endorse this "phenomenal candidate" and to urge "all America First Patriots" in the district to get out and vote for her.
Today, he says he doesn't know anything about it and had nothing to do with it.
He's lying or demented or both.

Writing this piece caused me to reflect on a history of protest songs, and Springsteen’s may be the most unique. My latest in @thebulwark.com
On Springsteen's new song, "Streets of Minneapolis," here's @markhertling.bsky.social:
"This is a song about the values we are testing. It asks what we are willing to preserve when authority, fear, and politics collide—when the lines between security and coercion, order and justice, begin to blur."

It’s 2026 in the United States of America and Congress is arguing over whether federal law enforcement, who have killed multiple people this month, should unmask themselves and be identifiable as a condition for funding. That’s insane.
