This should be the lead story on today’s news shows. TACO is a liar.
This is an important reminder: even the LAPD acknowledged yesterday that everything was peaceful.
Then Trump brought the chaos.
He is responsible.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.
Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas?
LUTNICK: Generally 10%

In just a few months Trump and Musk destroyed institutions and programs that had been built over decades or more.
Now, they’re turning their rage on each other.
How much damage will they do to the world as they destroy each other? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-ab9

Trump is hopeless when it comes to Putin - whom he both fears and admires as the Renfield to Putin's Dracula - but he has no effective national security or defense team around him to pick up the slack and actually run anything like an actual foreign policy.

Trump’s Tirades Aren’t Swaying Putin
The president stamping his feet on social media will do nothing to quell Russia's aims.

White Christian Nationalist Senator Joni Ernst from Iowa flippantly told a town hall member “we are all going to die sometime “ in response to Medicaid cuts. In her sarcastic apology she doubled down by saying those who want to live forever can do so by embracing Jesus. Vote this heartless skank out

When Americans raised concerns about RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine views, he said he was "not gonna take away vaccines from anybody."
But now he's taking them away from millions of mommas and babies.
Vaccine recommendations should be based on science, not RFK Jr.'s political agenda.

Trump seems to have entered into a new and wilder stage of authoritarian neofascism. No holds barred. Nothing out of bounds.
But tyrants cannot succeed where people refuse to submit to them.
