“I’m going to tell him about you.” 🤡
President Trump warns an Australian reporter that he’s hurting Australia because he asked him about his business activity: You are hurting Australia very much right now. They want to get along with me. Your leader is coming to see me soon, I'm going to tell him about you.

Good get by Greg. There’s a primary and all that, but this is consistent with a long-running pattern that genuinely anti-Trump Republicans and former Republicans are more prepared politically for the moment than the vast majority of elected Democrats and liberal elites.
NEWS --> Geoff Duncan, who's running for Georgia gov as a Dem after defying Trump's 2020 steal, tells me he'll oppose Trump sending National Guard into Atlanta or elsewhere.
He also condemns ICE raids and criticizes Trump for targeting liberal groups.

Who’s the “they”? They never say.
Eric Trump: "They made the biggest mistake of their life. They tried to do it to my father in Butler, they tried to do it to him on a golf course. Now they did it to Charlie. And you have the law of unintended consequences."

I’ve heard military law experts advise, if you are given an illegal command as a soldier, do not blindly obey. Call your attorney. Obeying an illegal command can result in a court martial.

More on the “security guarantees” allegedly (per Russia) discussed with the US:
Guarantees are presented by UN Security Council that includes Russia, China etc.
In case of an attack on Ukraine, the members would meet and Russia would have veto power to block any move.

This is important. Highly irregular is an understatement. So much for the Rule of Law.
Yep, I reported this several weeks ago. William Pulte, a Trump loyalist, is using the FHFA bureaucracy to help Trump gin up fake pretexts for prosecutions of his enemies.
One former IG told me: “From beginning to end, this process is highly irregular."

Trumpers' attacks on the health care system are popular ... among conspiracists and antivaxxers. The rest of the country is very alarmed, and seems poised to vote for doctors who call for a return to medical sanity and democracy, as @jilldlawrence.bsky.social explains.
