Just another public presidential shakedown over another one of his fabricated threats to another group he couldn’t care less about (despite all his rhetoric to the contrary.)
Nigerian officials are meeting with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau this week amid increasing focus from the Trump administration on Christians in Nigeria and as President Donald Trump has floated potential US military action in the country.

An important part of the job for any WH Press Secretary is to clean up remarks made by the president or offer explanation/context or apology when warranted. But Leavitt never does that. She always crafts a response that makes it even worse by adding her own toxic twist.

Beautiful truth.
You've got to be taught
To be afraid
Of people whose eyes
are oddly made
And people whose skin
Is a different shade
You've got to be carefully taught
You've got to be taught
Before it's too late
Before you are 6 or 7 or 8
To hate all the people
your relatives hate

Yup. Sinful!
Christian Nationalists' mission to ignore absolutely *everything* Jesus ever said has now been successfully completed.

Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles.
In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected.
REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency.

Once again, it looks as if Pam Bondi’s Justice Department is attempting to undermine the rule of law.

Complicity.
The Washington Post wants us to know about the best sandwiches in town, but not about the Bove confirmation walkout.

More blaring proof the rule of law is no more. Congressional Republicans are just simply implementing each element of Project 2025.
Republicans are so desperate to cover up just how unfit Emil Bove is for a lifetime appointment to the federal bench that they’re violating their own committee rules to shut down debate.

A DOGE staffer has assumed control over the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), an agency traditionally independent from direct White House authority. Adam Blake, now serving as the DOGE-appointed lead at the NRC, has been tasked with carrying out directives from Trump.

The Supreme Court just ruled 6-3 that Trump can dismantle the Department of Education and lay off nearly 1,400 employees.

FYI: Gutting funding for public media will cut off news sources for millions of Americans. That’s exactly what Trump wants: to exert even more control over the news and information that the public receives – or doesn’t even receive at all. It’s a hallmark of dictatorship.
