Trump won’t do shit because he’s Putin’s Bitch and Republicans in Congress are Putin’s Bitch Enablers. None of this is possible without weak Republicans in Congress who are afraid to call him out clearly and directly and instead post weak ass shit on social media.

CBS News is giving up the power it has to hold “Face the Nation” interviewees to account. Following pressure from Trump, it has agreed not to edit interviews, even to remove false statements or propaganda uttered by political operatives and officials, or add explanatory context.

"The GOP is signing on to mass murder of children based on the novel theories of a man who has no party ties except a single Trump endorsement. It is a measure of the party’s utter hollowness, brokenness, and evil that even in this case, it can barely find the resources to demur."

Mayor Brandon Scott has reduced crime in Baltimore by 62%, and now has the lowest homicide rate in Baltimore history.
How did he do it?
NOT be spending more on police. He did it by MAJOR investment in afterschool and literacy programs.

In the course of sixty seconds, threats to violate the First Amendment three times over: prosecuting CNN for reporting about an app, prosecuting the maker of an anti-ICE app, and prosecuting CNN for reporting about the Iran bombing.
Trump on CNN: "They may be prosecuted also for having given false reports on the attack in Iran."

Trump trying to come up with a fake carve-out for his farmer base in real time would be laugh-cry hilarious if this entire 24-hour period were not one of the most horrifying in American history
Everything he is doing, everything out of his mouth, is an implicit announcement of a coming dictatorship

Trump: "We have a lot of cases where ICE will go into a farm. These are guys working there for 10-15 years, no problem. The farmers know them. It's called farmer responsibility, or owner responsibility, They will be responsible for these people. They know these people."

If you like coop games and you’ve been poker-pilled by Balatro, the Gang might be one of the best coop games I’ve ever played. This is the most addictive shit ever. Poker, veiled communication, and a HEIST theme?!

Sources said that even at the start of his second term, Trump was discussing with multiple advisers where & when it would make sense to send in federal troops, either for supposed crime control or in response to larger-scale public activism against his agenda.

What 2024 board game did you play that deserves all the awards? We think The Gang should have got a little more love:
This unqiue co-op board game deserves more love this award season
Plenty of excellent board games won big at the 2024 Golden Geek awards, but I wish this one party game had gotten more attention.

The Gang is the Game of the Week! I can't capture how gorgeous this box is, how luxurious it feels. The reveal of everyone's hands at the end of a round feels like magic when you nail it.

ICE is entrapping people who are here legally---telling them to report to the Immigration Office to advance their status--and then abducts them for deportation without due process. This can't be legal.

Aka "competitive authoritarianism" - the appearance of democracy process, the reality of authoritarian rule.
In "How Democracies Die," Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt wrote that democratic backsliding "begins at the ballot box." Strongmen get democratically elected, then turn institutions into "political weapons, wielded forcefully by those who control them against those who do not."

FYI, if you cannot claim any of the following:
- secured billions in federal contracts
- received inside information on when to capitalize on stock market corrections
- been granted exemptions on tariffs
…then you are NOT the beneficiary of Trump’s agenda.
