Every single news story about Trump hosting MBS at the WH today should include the tremendously lucrative business deals the Saudis have done this year with Trump Org to enrich Trump and his family personally, which is the primary reason why this is happening.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

The hostage release is a reminder of how bad the Dems are at politics. Not only did Biden refuse to force this deal on Netanyahu & thereby help Harris win, but most people aren’t even aware that Biden got way more Israeli hostages (over 100) released with his 2023 ceasefire than Trump did with his.

I don't know why there's such a widespread and persistent conviction America can't confront its domestic crises while protecting and expanding its commitments abroad, because it's been done before; in fact, they usually end up strengthening, rather than undermining, one another.

Why would the DOJ scrub the fact that right-wing extremism is the #1 domestic terror threat in America?
Why not acknowledge and confront it?
Also why haven't they released the Epstein Files?
Also why did Ghislaine Maxwell get a sweetheart deal transfer?
These problems won't go away.

We keep hearing that "the left" as whole is responsible for Kirk's murder.
It's ludicrous on its own but even more so when you recall that we've had mass shooters who explicitly cited specific individuals on the right -- even Trump! -- as motivation but the right insisted no one was to blame.

Bullshit like renaming the Department of Defense the Department of War is about covering their weakness and pretending to be strong.
Unfortunately this weakness leads to projection and lashing out, which makes it incredibly dangerous. That’s why this movement represents an existential threat.

Yeah, but here’s the thing: the guy killed two people because they were Jews, not because they were Israeli diplomats (he had no way of knowing that).
So it’s 100% an antisemitic act and seeing a connection to some of the rhetoric flying around isn’t being hysterical.

Brace yourself for a wave of misinformation about “incitement,” a term with a well-defined meaning in constitutional law that has absolutely no application to what appears on the basis of *everything we know* to be a single person’s decision to commit murder

TPM’s @hunterw.bsky.social makes a convincing case - citing experts - that we should be referring to CECOT as a “concentration camp,” “penal colony,” or “permanent prison camp.”
Based on its features (no due process, indefinite detention) he says: “President Trump is sending people to the camps.”

Judge Mary McElroy — a Trump appointee — issued the temporary injunction. It instructs the admin to release the funds while a lawsuit proceeds.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Three days ago a Republican state senator in Minnesota submitted a bill declaring "Trump Derangement Syndrome" to be a certifiable mental illness. It was a funny stunt. Anyway, today he was arrested for soliciting a minor, which is not a funny stunt and a sign of an actual psychological disorder.
State Sen. Justin Eichorn, R-Grand Rapids, was arrested Monday for allegedly soliciting a minor for prostitution. The Bloomington Police Department said detectives communicated with Eichorn “who thought he was talking to a 16-year-old female” and detectives then arranged a meetup on Monday.
