I won’t condemn Republicans who decide to turn away from Trump going forward, but let us be clear: Theirs would be no *ethical* repentance. Those with ethics would have turned long ago. Anyone now deciding to pull their toes out of the MAGA pool are doing so ONLY for self-preservation.

Because it’s not really about trying to get troops to vote Republican-that would be bad enough. It’s about conditioning the military to obey a man and not their oath to the Constitution. It’s why Hegseth & Trump were so adamant about prosecuting the 6 Dems who spoke up about it.

Trump has stripped the EPA of its power to fight climate change.
If left unchecked, climate change will destroy Maine's lobster industry. It will decimate our fisheries across the board. The rapid warming of the gulf of Maine is a fundamental threat to our entire way of life.

SO many jaw dropping revelations in this, from them firing 80% of the career ICE field leadership, to Noem's appeals to Republicans to write op-eds backing her, to Lewandowski firing people who wouldn't authorize a gun, to hiring back the fired pilot because they had no one else to fly them home.
The Wall Street Journal story on Noem and Lewandowski is just a bus running over them, backing up, running over them again, and on and on. A line of admin officials waiting to get their turn at the wheel.

I just almost fainted, a wave of blankness rolled across my vision. We can never, never allow this to pass into a new media cycle, whatever it means for our future.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

So two foreign nationals discussed Jared Kushner, a guy who couldn't get security clearance but was able to get $2 billion from Saudi Arabia? And the content of the report is so sensitive that it can't be made public?
Seems like Jared's dad may not wind up being the only felon in the family.
