Reminder that Trump denied calling nations with lots of Black and brown people "shit holes," but now he admits it. So he lied.

James Talarico: Trump is gerrymandering Texas because his policies are unpopular. They’re kicking millions off their health care to fund tax breaks for billionaires. So they're trying to rig the results of the next election. We cannot allow this to become normal

It’s important to remember there are two scandals here:
1. The Administration has likely committed war crimes.
2. But the entire operation - which now includes two dozen attacks - is illegal. In our democracy, the President CANNOT wage war without the consent of the people.

Trump will die before the full realization of American fascism is reached. These are the birth pangs. It will get so much worse unless we do something. We should and we must.

No one in America has done more to incite political violence than Donald Trump. And it’s not close.
During interviews with the FBI, the suspect arrested in the pipe bomb probe told investigators that he believed the 2020 election was stolen, people briefed on the matter said.

If you need to understand what's happening, this farce is a perfect place to begin.
A broken, unhappy man is being given a fake award he doesn't deserve by a corrupt group looking to bribe him and earn favors. It's meaningless, everything he wants, and it won't matter to him within an hour.

Eliminating protections against prison rape is wrong.
If another country sentenced a criminal to be raped, we'd consider it a crime against humanity.

What we need to do is put Hegseth and his admiral out floating on a piece of driftwood and see if they make it back in good enough shape to continue doing their jobs.
And the point goes to "other source with direct knowledge of the briefing."
