i started researching Russian disinfo networks in 2014 and writing about them in 2015 and the sheer amount of smug online assholes who dismissed every piece of reporting as CIA propaganda or whatever will never not piss me off
Is anybody ever gonna take a step back and realize the "Russia Russia Russia" people — derided as lunatic wine moms — were actually underplaying the foreign influence stuff, and the loud people who kept insisting it was all fake are now saying Jeffrey Epstein was kind of a cool guy?

How does Rep. Gonzales know whether they would qualify for asylum?

This is what happens when you lose your spine and forgo any semblance of principles in the name of getting reelected. He’s so afraid of his right wing primary opponents and Trump that he’ll say and do some really terrible stuff.
Gonzales on Liam Ramos and his family: "They're not gonna qualify for asylum. So what do you do with all the people that go through the process and do not qualify for asylum? You deport them. I understand that 5-year-old and it breaks my heart. I also think, what about that 5-year-old US citizen?"

And it appears the Trump group is already siphoning off tax dollars from the official government-funded group planning events around the 250th.

It's equal parts hilarious and sad that this dude hates Christianity and like all his supporters think he was sent by God.
Trump: "Mike Johnson is a very religious person. He does not hide it. He'll say to me sometimes at lunch, 'Sir, may we pray.' I'll say, 'Excuse me? We're having lunch.'"

“I can’t answer that.” I was reminded of this moment in the last few days with all the discussion of Epstein. Has any reporter looked into whether Trump has non-disclosure agreements with Epstein victims?
PSAKI: Do you think Donald Trump was aware of that arrangement at Mar-a-Lago?

EPSTEIN SURVIVOR SHARLENE ROCHARD: Umm. I don't know if he was aware. Um. Actually, I can't answer that.

Ok wait a second. Why are White House staffers, paid by US taxpayers, posting to Donald Trump’s personal account on his personal social media platform?
New on MS NOW:

According to a White House official: "A White House staffer erroneously made the post. It has been taken down."

Just hours ago, Karoline Leavitt defended the racist post. Now it's been taken down.

This is MAGA ideological imperialism.

It's disguised as a "free speech" crusade. In reality, the Trump admin seeks to coerce Europe into deregulating digital environments to enable unimpeded extremist content that radicalises voters into supporting far-right populists.

They’re trying to run the Kilmar Abrego Garcia playbook with a five year old boy in a bunny hat because nobody can find peace if they embarrass the Trump administration publicly. Normal people didn’t like it with Garcia and they really aren’t going to like it for Liam.

The banality of evil is shocking. An ex-Big Lots warehouse for cheap consumer junk is bought by ICE to ship as many as 7,500 handcuffed human beings, as the Trump regime builds a U.S. gulag archipelago
