Hey, your daughter was murdered by my guys, but will you still love me? I'm needy.
Trump: "ICE is gonna be too rough with somebody. They're gonna make a mistake sometimes. I felt horribly when I was told the young woman had the tragedy. But when I learned her father is - I hope he still is, but I don't know - was a tremendous Trump fan. It's terrible. It's so sad. It just happens"

It’s truly a special kind of unhinged psychotic who will come up with “You didn’t give me the Nobel Peace Prize so I’m going to start World War 3.”

Trump says he’s willing to go to war with NATO because he hasn’t won the Nobel Peace Prize.

MAGA wants to submit all of our rights and power to an enormous, stupid baby.

The British far-right aren't making any secret of what they want for the UK. They're literally printing it in headlines.
Ceding all forms of autonomy to Trump is now a well-established position within Britain's media and among British media owners.

This is completely fucking unacceptable. Shut this terrorist government down until it stops brutalizing its own citizens.
Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

Trump has just declared himself the "acting president of Venezuela" over on Truth Social in case you're wondering about his mental health.

She smiles at the man who shoots her and says she isn't mad at him. Clearly initiates the effort to leave when the aggressive agents arrive.
The question now (not that this was in question) isn't who's telling the truth. It's when DHS had this video and knew that what they were saying was a lie.
🚨 NEW VIDEO 👇🏽This puts an end to all the lies. Horrific.

They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him.

Stop the lies.

Would love to know how Ezra Klein-style high-ground liberalism, where you're meant to give your political opponents the benefit of the doubt, is meant to function when your opponents are murderers
🚨 The White House is now actively covering up a murder.

I understand the pressures on the BBC, but Radio 4's coverage of the Minneapolis shooting is an example of "bad balance".

It's all "the Trump regime says she was a terrorist, but Democrats say it was murder".

The BBC has the footage. It doesn't have to treat truth and falsehood as equally valid.

And then there's this video, of officers talking with each other about what they just witnessed.

"We didn't have a chance," one officer said. "[Trump] was still giving his speech, and I just had to leave, because he's basically just telling people to come down here and rip this place down."

I saw this and had to check it wasn't faked or a spoof. Sadly, it is real.

Every time I think Trump has reached the nadir of decency and propriety, some hellish trapdoor opens, revealing a hitherto undiscovered sub-basement of obscenity and barbarity. ~AA

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

This country would be so much better off without this hypocritical, incendiary, irresponsible rag.
