When the Republicans put additional billions into the big ugly bill for ICE operations, they’re not only telling us they’re all for masked men without identification grabbing people off the streets and taking them away in unmarked cars, they want more of it. They want to make America unrecognizable.

“There is no intel,” says a WH official, “Nothing new, I’m aware of… The intelligence assessments have not really changed from what they were before.” Which were, of course, that Iran's not close to having nukes.

Shameless plug but this is a big part of what I wrote about in AUDIENCE OF ONE. There is a lot of focus, mine included, on Trump as TV 'performer' and 'programmer.' But there's a symbiosis: Trump, a child of TV, has also always very much been programmed *by* what he sees on his shows
Amazing. NYT has more confirmation that Trump's decision to bomb Iran was motivated in large part by the way the Israeli strikes were "playing" on Fox News, which drove him to want credit for it
