Abughazaleh: I think Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague. And if the response from ICE to people exercising their first amendment right is to drive vehicles through them, they should not be an agency in the US.

NEW: A federal judge struck down Trump’s $15 billion defamation lawsuit against the New York Times, ruling that his complaint’s contents were “improper and impermissible.”
“A complaint is not a megaphone for public relations or a podium for a passionate oration,” the judge wrote.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.
Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.
We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

Political violence is a crisis and a sign of democratic weakness. I condemn it in all forms. We all share responsibility to end it, protect democracy, and promote peace in our nation.

Even *if* you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d *still* need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented.
His argument fails even on its own terms.

Pretty sure Trump did not run on a promise of lower living standards
Trump on China: "They made a trillion dollars with Biden selling us stuff. Much of it we don't need. Somebody said, 'oh, the shelves are gonna be open.' Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more."

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.
A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

there is simply no amount of child death that will move RFK to change his mind because he is a predatory narcissist who cares less about health than the gratification of his own ego
Astonishing RFK Jr interview with NBC. At 23.30 he claims pharmaceuticals are the 3rd leading cause of death in the US [wtf]. He discloses the name & medical history of the 2nd child to die of measles, implies she wasn't healthy & argues about her cause of death. @gorskon.bsky.social
Key takeaways from RFK Jr.'s interview on measles vaccine, food dyes, weight loss drugs and more
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. spoke with CBS News in an exclusive interview. Here are some highlights.
