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/

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.”

The result was “institutionalized hunger.”

DHS confirmed it has stopped automatically storing officials' text messages.

Instead, officials are supposed to take a screenshot, send that to their work email, download it onto their work computer and run a text-recognition program on it. Every time.

They also believed he was innocent of crimes because the DOJ never prosecuted him in a meaningful way, including for sedition. In early 2021, most Americans DID think he was guilty. That changed over three years thanks to DOJ inaction. They thought "If he were really a threat, they would stop him."

People forgot what happened in the first term. A big reason why is that nearly all media outlets started paywalling their articles in 2021. Trump's Twitter account was also deleted in 2021, and scores of digital media outlets went under from 2021-2024 -- erasing recent history in the process.
