Trump would cut up journalists too if he thought he could get away with it
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Legal impediments, just like the ones that prevent him from paying military salaries, or bombing fishing boats, or demolishing the White House
Mike Johnson lies shamelessly: "The president is desperate for SNAP benefits to flow to the American citizens who desperately rely on it ... the SNAP situation has legal impediments."

CBS reports that @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social plans to make bus fares “free,” but experts say a bus fare has no physical manifestation and therefore by definition cannot be liberated
CNN is reporting that @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social referred to a voter he was meeting as “my man” at a campaign event today, even though the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution has made it illegal to own human beings since 1865 and remains the law in states including New York

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.
