I have seen a range of opinions and reactions from across the ideological spectrum on the Young Republicans thing, but one take you really don’t hear from anyone is that they are shocked this was happening.

1/ Dear MAGA and MAGA Christen, the man who posted this belongs to you. As does the cruelty inflicted on every migrant he attacks, as does the pain of every women he’s molested. As do the cries of every victim of the pedophiles he protects and helps.

The Ravens have now lost 8 games since the 2021 season in which they, at one point, had a win probability of at least 90%.
That's three more than the next closest team.

Declaring a fake emergency as an excuse to deploy the military to police civilians is one of the most canonical examples of authoritarian takeovers.
Overseas, people see clearly what Trump is doing. Here in America most people — especially those with power or influence — are in denial.

There’s only one question to be asked: What is anybody going to do about it?
If the president knows he faces no consequences for anything, he will simply keep ignoring the rules. He’s not going to be impeached. He’s certainly not going to be arrested.
So then what?

Since I administered the WH emoluments rules, let me explain why this is forbidden
Trump expressed interest in it before it was offered
He is going to use & benefit from it a while in office
And he's going to keep using it after he leaves!
Functionally, it's a gift to him & so it's illegal

Overseeing the presidential gift rules was among my duties as White House Ethics Czar -- so I know how it's supposed to work
The gift of this plane to Trump is illegal & unconstitutional
The AG & the WH Counsel oughtta be ashamed of themselves for allowing it

If we still had a White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, they’d be in Tallahassee helping the community access federal resources for survivors, families, & students. Then they’d take what was learned to help prevent it from ever happening again.

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president
Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

Bone chilling.
A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States.
The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0.
1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

A new Trump EO attacks a Smithsonian exhibit for saying that “societies including the United States have used race to establish and maintain systems of power, privilege, and disenfranchisement.”
But however displeasing to MAGA, that statement is factually correct.

I'm surprised nobody on the ESPN broadcast has pointed out the non-contact (or incidental contact) nature of JuJu Watkins' injury. It should be acknowledged that Mississippi State's Chandler Prater shouldn't bear the blame, especially since it was good hustle and a normal basketball play.

Daniel Gafford was helped off the court after getting hurt in the 2nd quarter. The Mavs ruled him out for the rest of the game with a right knee sprain.
