Trump rolls into the G7 summit complaining about how mean they are to Putin, trashes America on foreign soil, confused the EU with the UK, dropped papers on the ground, trashed Tucker Carlson, accomplished nothing, then bailed early to escalate a war. MAGA!

This is continued journalistic malpractice from the @startribune.com normalizing a violent white male suspect. He owned a private security company called Praetorian Guard, traveled overseas to preach against abortion and LGBTQ+ people, and attended a bible college that preaches "violent prayer."
Suspect showed few signs of political extremism before lawmaker shootings
Friends and associates say Vance Boelter, who was apprehended late Sunday and charged with murdering a state lawmaker and her husband, was mild-mannered and did not appear to be fixated on politics.

There is literally HIV being transmitted from mom to baby because of the illegal shutdown of US AID and now Trump’s State Department wants to spend 400 million dollars on Tesla cyber trucks. This is not about efficiency. It’s a smash and grab.

Couldn’t help but notice how much Luigi Mangione resembles my dad, Angelo, as a young man. Similar last name as well. However my dad grew up in Boston, but it’s still uncanny, particularly Luigi’s angry expressions. Boy was that familiar.

An attack on transparence. This is what authoritarians do: cover up their support from wealthy and powerful interests.
Trump breaks precedent by keeping transition funding secret — the funding is obviously important, but it’s already crystal clear which billionaires are having outsized transition influence on Trump. Just look who he’s been spending time with.
