I am LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY at this meeting! Republican campaign consultants built their entire midterm strategy around making Mamdani into the devil incarnate and the face of Democratic Party, then Trump slobbers all over him today in the Oval!

Local police call them “whisper stops” but one constitutional rights lawyer says these traffic stops are part of a “mass surveillance system that threatens people’s freedom of movement.”
Another reason to avoid Texas, where it seems these stops commonly occur.

To everyone saying that people in our military already know not to follow unlawful orders, how do you explain almost 100 civilians murdered on fishing boats in the Caribbean so far?

Trump’s insults to journalists, although abhorrent, are now expected features of his childish responses to criticism.

What we really need to pay attention to are his threats to the profits of media corporations.

This is where the real danger lies. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-real-d...
The real danger to press freedom has nothing to do with Trump’s personal insults
And everything to do with his threats to corporate media’s profits.

Props to ABC’s Mary Bruce for doing her job as a true journalist. The rest of the DC press corp, MEN & women, need to stop their deference to Trump and ask the tough questions that will have him calling you names like “Piggy.”
