Distinguish Epstein from Murder at sea. Epstein is historic crime & current gov’t corruption. At sea is murder & misuse of US military. The former drips; the latter is urgent.

Note a remark in NYT by Right-wing Harvard professor. He's nforgiving to conservatives who split away
We must cultivate former conservatives who break from Trump. These conservative/liberals crack open the right wing as we never could. Welcome Cheneys, MTG, & all.

I believe part of Trump's purpose is murdering people at sea is to match his idol, Putin. Trump shrinks in front of Putin, because of Putin's closeness to killing. Trump wants to stand level with Putin.

Silence is doom. Do not let any outrage pass. Left unchallenged,Trump's menaces -- 'retribution,' 'day of love,' 'more than the National Guard,' 'poisoning our blood," etc. -- become a baseline. Just now he's asked if he really wants a 3d term. No. Charge him w/his conduct. Do not beg.

NYT now: 4 boats destroyed, 14 dead. This is Duerte-style execution. Execution outside of the law. Murder at Trump's say-so. This is dishonorable and must stop. Schumer & Jeffries must speak. US name being blackened. Every Dem speak. Afraid of what you might hear? Find out now.

We need a coalition. Put aside past disputes. Rand Paul more direct about Trump’s murdering than most Democrats. We need Rand Paul.

Simon Rosenberg points out Trump will not talk with Democrats. They are the enemy. Putin, yes. Hamas, yes, any dictator, yes. But the line is drawn at Democrats. This signals a break with our system. This is delegitimization of democratic opposition. Trump will not cede power.

Trump is targeting Colombia because the Colombian president eloquently denounced Trump. People at sea (who may be committing bad crime) are being murdered to enforce the silence of critics.

Job #1 is stopping Trump from murdering people. He cannot choose who dies. Congress must control Trump’s use of deadly force.

DeSantis in today’s NYT. I am open to anyone willing to oppose Trump. The test of DeSantis’ good faith
is whether he will oppose Trump’s effort to corrupt the midterms.

Just now NYT: ‘Trump announces new sanctions on Russia, unddrscoring frustration w/Russia.‘ Naive. Those sanctions won’t last past Hungary when they’ll be dissolved in the spirit of giving peace a chance. When will Trump run out of credit? He’s a Russian tool through & through.

Top article NYT: Democrats "make old pitch: Stopping Trump ... Missed Chance to Advance a Positive Message." Disenthrall yourself, man. Trump is the issue. A criminal bent on destroying the framework of our government. That will have to do for messaging.

Again, lawless violence in international waters. Extra-judicial murder is not going away. Danger for Americans everywhere. A prelude to violence by this administration against US citizens within the US. Did you think a man without a conscience would draw the line at murder?

Another deadly strike on a boat in the Carribean. This is extra-judicial murder. These boats may be engaged in bad criminal activity, that's it. The boats are subject to law enforcement. This arrogant use of deadly violence blackens our name and endangers every American.

I like Frank Sinatra and Elvis. I like the old America. Not this new Russian thing, with hints of that old German thing. I also like Bing Crosby.

Remarks by FCC Carr re Kimmel: 'the hard way or the easy way.' Gangsterism. How wonderful a system that kept these impulses under wraps till now. Trumpers are acting out urge to dominate opponents. An inferior system of terror knocking at our door.

No surprise on Kimmel. This is a pro-Orban movement. Brit Hume was highlighted for opposing Bondi's hate-speech remarks. That was abstract. Today "I would have liked the outcome a lot better ..." When the Lincoln Project is shutdown for extremism/terrorism Hume won't have much sharp to say.

I see in NYT that Trump removed a sign stating that Lee was a traitor who fought for slavery, and, worse, removed a photo of a slave's scarred back. Why? To dull the sense of right and wrong and make space for wrong. Trumpers are at war with morality. For evil's sake.

Statements by elected officials, current & former, create a floor of decency. A floor. Schumer, Jeffries, GW Bush, Obama, Rs, Rs, Rs, please call for Trump to resign. This needs to be spoken by our representatives. We will be grateful. Your country needs you.

Israel's defenders turn to laws, sanctions, declarations, instead of argument. Tyrannical and self-destructive. Arguments abound for a democratic, Hebrew-speaking state in the middle east. But no argument for turning the power of the state upon those who disagree. A state must endure criticism.

Standards have evaporated for Trump. How can anyone talk about "lowering the temperature," when the President says we must "beat the hell" out of radical leftists. He is the President, for crying out loud. We are talking around him. Face it: he menaces the US, our peace, prosperity & health.

Facism is short-cuts. Non-reciprocal short-cuts. Violence, incitement, cheating, corruption, moral depravity are fit for accusation against others; ignored as to themselves. Message: We are not accountable.

Putin to Europeans (in Vladivostok): you are willing to "fight to the last Ukrainian." A unity of messaging between Putin and JD Vance & the US Admin. Trump, after talking to Putin, withdrew demand for cease-fire. Our government is working for Russia. Naturally, Trump is pro-Dictator.

Trump is blackening the name of the US, and weakening us. Trump is dismantling our peerless deep state, ripping out our eyes. Trump wants to shift Defense to war on US cities. We are becoming naked to hostile foreign actors. Trump is a traitor: Destroy at home, invite aggression from abroad.
