Donald Trump said anybody who disagrees with him will never be Fed Chair. Kevin Warsh – who cared more about helping Wall Street after the 2008 crash than millions of unemployed Americans – has apparently passed the loyalty test.

This is oustanding journalism by a New York Times reporter. It helped me realize what is happening there, and just how bad everything is. I recommend it, which doesn't mean I endorse every line.

Timeline: How the Shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti Unfolded (Gift Article)
A moment-by-moment analysis of video from the scene shows that Mr. Pretti was already restrained when fatal shots were fired, which appears to contradict the federal government’s account of the event.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.
The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

So a good bit of this federal violence is about “fixing” the next elections.
🚨BREAKING: Hours after federal immigration officers shot and killed a man in Minneapolis, Pam Bondi seized upon the incident to demand access to voter rolls, directly tying the Trump administration’s quest for voters’ unredacted personal data to its aggressive immigration raids across the state.
AG Bondi demands access to Minnesota voter rolls after fatal Border Patrol shooting
Her demand came as Minneapolis was reeling from a second fatal shooting by a federal agent this month.

A no-truth environment can only help them when their message is all lies. They are burning down the village of information to save it. The implication is nothing is true, believe no facts, just choose sides by vibes.
This is the first example I’ve seen of an American government using AI to meaningfully misrepresent actual events with the intent to deceive the public. We are at Stalinesque levels of propaganda.

the rest of the world is not as ignorant of american politics as we are of theirs. they understand that trump is part of the republican party and that the party marches in lockstep to him AND that the purported opposition democrats do not call him out en masse about this stuff. america betrayed them
Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.
His not being impeached by the end of the business day as a result of this threat is as much a problem as the threat itself. It’s not just Trump that the world has to worry about, it’s a GOP that supports him and Democrats who suck their thumbs and refuse to even discuss pushing to remove him

I keep seeing posts stating that ICE cannot enter your home or a private business without a judicial warrant. While that is legally correct, in reality ICE routinely violates the law by forcing their way in, often by smashing down doors, before violently assaulting people.

We already have complete access to Greenland, including unfettered freedom of navigation into the Arctic.
We have a military base. We have early warning radar systems in place that will integrate with the “dome.”
