1. Last week, there were 3 Trump corruption scandals in 4 days that would define any other presidency.

Most people are probably not even AWARE of all three scandals.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

Kudos to Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and everyone on South Park. Brilliant first episode. Stayed true to its brand - funny, witty, irreverent, ZERO capitulation or other augmentation induced by fear of an authoritarian madman.

A renewed "F*ck You" to CBS, Columbia U, and Paul Weiss, but I digress --

"Sorry Islamophobes, I'm a Proud Muslim American and, Like Zohran Mamdani, I'm Not Going Anywhere"

The insanely bigoted attacks on Mamdani are out of control and designed to intimidate a vulnerable minority – but they will fail.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
