Turns out pressing Trump about his involvement with Epstein gets you one hell of a sound bite. Maybe everyone should try it.

When the mentally ill don't have access to firearms, mental health crises don't have to end in tragedy; they can be downright wholesome.
When a man hijacked a bus in Hamilton, Ontario, on Tuesday, the potentially catastrophic scenario ended happily. It turns out he was a pretty decent bus driver. He made regular stops to pick up passengers, the police reported. At one point someone tried to board with an expired bus pass. No dice.
A Man Took a Bus for a Joyride. Turns Out, He’s Not a Bad Driver.
The incident in Hamilton, Ontario, ended safely with an arrest and no injuries (and all fares paid).

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein said in emails that he had been advising the Russian government on how to deal with Donald Trump, one of several cases in which he wielded his connections to try to influence the course of foreign affairs. w @nahaltoosi

Why does ICE officers always, and usually falsely, claim they are being threatened or attacked? Because this legally justifies the use of lethal force and firearms.
ICE is prohibited from using deadly force against an evading target, but can justify it if they say they are in danger. Immigration officials have shot into 4 cars in recent weeks. In 3 cases they said the target was driving toward them, when it seems more likely the drivers were trying to escape:

Looks as if Trump is saying no Democrat will be allowed to win another national election—and he will use the FBI, the DOJ, and the CIA to make sure of that. This is a full-scale attack on American democracy, and every Republican, CEO, and conservative mouthpiece who doesn't object is complicit.
Trump: "We can never let what happened in the 2020 election happen again. We just can't let that happen. I know Kash is working on it, everybody is working on it. And certainly Tulsi is working on it. We can't let that happen again to our country."

One side is driven by hate, fear, and outrage, and the other side wants better healthcare. Thus, there will be an imbalance in how each reacts to such events.
This is the asymmetry in our politics and media. If this was the other way around, Biden had pardoned someone then charged with trying to kill Trump, it would be the biggest story in America and every Republican commentator, congressman, news outlet, would be screaming about it in unison.

Reminder: The NYTs is not a "liberal" paper, but a multibillion-dollar operation that condescendingly services a largely liberal audience while caricaturing them.
A reader asked the Ethicist: I'm an HIV-positive gay man who protests regularly. My liberal friend, married to a Trump supporter, shares my fears about the U.S. but avoids protests; she only shares her views online. Her apathy feels hypocritical. Should I keep her in my life? nyti.ms/4oqtfe5

Watching Trump get credit for the Gaza ceasefire and keep thinking of this Don Rickles joke: "Frank Sinatra once saved my life. A bunch of his goons were working me over and he said, "That's enough."

Today we will likely see the bots that operate by the tens of thousands on Twitter and which are largely run by foreign intelligence services (Russian, North Korea, Chinese and Iranian, in particular) working hard to stir up a frenzy of hate. Their goal is inciting civil war in the US.

They aren’t leading protests in DC outside the White House, no rallies. Almost like the whole 2024 thing was just performative.

Now would be a terrible time to start telling MAGA you heard the real Trump was going to release the Epstein file, but he got replaced by a deep state plant who is playing the role of Donald Trump and cannot be trusted. I mean, what else can explain it?

Don't try to convince MAGA with empathy. They see the world in Dirty Harry terms ie the cruelty suggests a single-minded purpose and suggests a prioritization of the effort they support. Point out how the thing that's happening is so that no one has to give them the thing they actually want.

Want to confuse MAGA on immigration? Give Trump’s deportation policy woke credit for stopping the US from exploiting poor people who are forced to work for poverty wages just so we can pay less for food, gas, and housing. That morally speaking, goods and services should be more expensive.
