“Donald Trump hates me because I fight hard, and I fight for free and fair elections. I insist on fighting for democracy in court, fighting for voting rights in court, and insist on telling the truth about what the outcome of the 2020 election was,” says lawyer Marc Elias. cbsn.ws/43btfGV

The popemobile is being transformed into a mobile health clinic to treat ill and wounded Palestinian children in the Gaza Strip — an initiative that Pope Francis blessed in the months before he died.
A Popemobile Used by Pope Francis Will Become a Mobile Clinic in Gaza
In his last months, Pope Francis blessed an effort to transform the vehicle he used when he visited the West Bank in 2014 into a mobile health clinic to treat Palestinian children in the Gaza Strip.

It gives me no pleasure to say this but I disagree. I and @protectdemocracy.org have warned for years this is exactly what he was going to do.
If you could go back in a time machine to the night of the election and tell yourself all the crazy stuff that Trump would do in just his first three weeks, 2024 you would not believe it.
Friday nights in this Trumpocracy suck so hard.

He is going to say "pinky swear you will protect our border. And buy more booze and stuff from us. "

I think journalists, policymakers and good govt types are struggling to understand DOGE because their mental model is that it is a government reform commission, operating like previous ones. Maybe. But it might be better to start thinking about it as a hostile takeover of the govt by oligarchs.

Is the eating of dogs and cats in Springfield OH still a national emergency? Or were those people’s lives upended just so Donald Trump could demagogue his way back into the White House?

What Hegseth wrote in his own words and said with his own mouth are not “disruptive,” they are disqualifying. The credible allegations of sexual assault are part of hostile record but not all of it.
Sen. Eric Schmitt on Pete Hegseth: "Ultimately, this is a decision that President Trump made to bring in another disrupter ... he's not been charged with anything. I think that's important."
