But Epstein was wrong about this: Trump is a dog that barks, a boy who cries wolf (“Portland is a war zone”), and still a threat to all of us.

Just a crazy thought in light of the news we all knew and that Trump & co. lied about repeatedly.

How are his comments not an open admission that he’s using the country’s resources to wage political war against people who still believe in democracy? How is not an admission that his aspiration is to be a dictator, rule of law be damned? And why is the Supreme Court just standing by ?

Good for Brazil. their justice system just demonstrated they function more justly than ours.

It makes no sense to say that race cannot be used as a factor for college admission (or other pathways to achieve equity), but it can be used by ICE. We need to demand an investigation into the persistent lawbreaking of the executive branch, and a de-funding of ICE. (end)

Probably because he is a weak coward, and is terrified of strong smart women, especially women of color, when they stand up to him?

I’m guessing this means Vance will just keep ordering Trump some Big Macs and fries.

he's sooooooooo full of shit. He says Russia might attack. BUT, I thought we are Russia's best ally, ever since fearless leaders Trump and Putin's lovely stroll down that red carpet in Alaska...

what an amazingly awful take. she hopes ICE will come to Portland and "crackdown." Also the notion that immigrants are not hard-working (in contrast to the "great American businesses) is absolutely incorrect. This is what the cabinet is: a place where people spew dangerous lies and everyone nods
