Trump on Sheinbaum: "The cartels are running Mexico. She's not running Mexico. We could be politically correct & nice and say, 'Oh, yes, she is.' No no. And I've asked her number times, 'Would you like us to take out the cartels?' ... something is gonna have to be done with Mexico."

A thug's Thug, straight out of MAGA central casting.
Still mind-blowing that a top admin official was revealed to have taken $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from people looking for government favors, the reaction of the administration was "Whatever losers, this is how it works now" and bigshot news media said "If you say so, we'll forget about it"
Border czar Tom Homan didn't receive a normal background check for his role while his bribery probe was still ongoing:

Justice officials felt sure Homan would not be able to obtain a security clearance based on the evidence gathered. It remains unclear how Homan was eventually granted clearance.

Donald Trump's wildly inappropriate reaction to this (quite impressive) piece of Reaganite advertising ought to cause so many people to view the ad he doesn't want them to see that we'll have to rename the Streisand Effect the Ontario Effect.
Ontario launches the perfect ad. Canadians are true brothers 💙🇨🇦

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

The system is broken.

Big corporations can bribe the president to get special exemptions but regular people are still stuck paying more in tariffs and higher grocery prices.
The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.

Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

Gin Blossoms release “New Miserable Experience” 33 years ago today.

“I never get tired of hearing it,” Robin Wilson said about fans’ reaction to the album. “I know it’s usually going to be something meaningful about our music that has connected to their lives.”

Here we go again. Just like in 2020 right-wingers will be posting old videos or videos from other countries claiming it was today in the US. All for clicks and to fan the flames of division and hatred. It’s part of their standard playbook.

It's not a fun read, but it's an important read.

DHS is out of control and must be stopped.
Falsehoods continue to be presented as facts.
Trump doesn't know what's going on because he doesn't read.

Even as government agents from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) ramp up their arrests and confrontations, the lug nuts on the wheels of the White House bus continue to loosen.

BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks.

This is leadership.

It’s also unprecedented.

A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.
