Tennessee probation officers pause in-person visits and home searches for offenders facing an arrest warrant. That reduced supervision can last for months — in one case, over a year.

Six mothers died during this gap, @wpln.bsky.social & ProPublica found.

Step 1: Implement tariffs (aka taxes on the American people)

Step 2: Realize this raised the cost of living and is the opposite of what you promised

Step 3 (we are here): Begin reversing tariffs

Step 4: cross fingers prices come down and take credit for lowering prices

🦆 Bird flu in WA:
This is the first-ever human case of H5N5 avian influenza. It's been seen in animals before, but never before in people.

It was confirmed in a Grays Harbor County resident that had backyard poultry which may have mingled with wild birds.

New map produced by RTVE, Spanish national TV, of the 6000 mass graves in Spain. In the last 25 years some 17,000 bodies of men, women and children have been exhumed out of the ~120,000 dumped in mass unmarked graves by the Franco regime.

DOJ is running a corruption scheme that allows Trump's allies to plunder the U.S. Treasury. It's like the mafia owning a casino and sending a daily part of the take to made men. It's brazen and outrageous.

The Department of Justice is participating in corrupt prosecutions and corrupt cover-ups.
Massie: "The president has been saying this is a hoax. Well, he's just now decided to investigate a hoax, if it's a hoax. And I have another concern about these investigations he's announced. If they have ongoing investigations, those documents can't be released. So this might be a big smokescreen."

And then think of what a cornered psychopathic human being with the morals and instincts of a rat and control of over five thousand nuclear warheads would do.
This is a very dangerous moment for the country and the world. A cornered rat will do anything to escape.

Let's start calling it the "Trump Murder Memo."

#TrumpMurderMemo
It is interesting to me how the media seems far less interested in Trump's Murder Memo than you'd expect. Only a few reporters seem to be even trying to get a hold of it, and very few commentators are talking about it. Contrast that with Bush's torture memo, which was a national obsession. Weird.
Trump's illegal murders in the Caribbean just got worse. An internal DOJ memo on the bombings says the victims are waging war on the US, but per NYT, it extensively cites the WH's *own claims* to this effect as evidence!

It gets even darker than that. 1/

Narrator: Bovino has now fled Chicago, because he was being held to account for his illegal actions there by the courts -- and is overseeing the assault and kidnapping of people elsewhere in the United States.
Bovino: "Whether they were criminals or individuals that were taking jobs from Americans -- you name it, that's what they were doing. And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. We're gonna go even harder on the streets. If he releases those 650, we're gonna apprehend 1,650 on the streets of Chicago."
