Important: House Dem leaders just said Trump's call for execution of Dems has prompted them to contact US Capitol Police and House Sergeant at Arms to "ensure the safety of these members and their families."
Treat Trump like an unhinged menace. He's weak and in deep political trouble. Don't let up.

Trigger warning.
“In crashes, SUVs are more likely to strike vital organs in the core of adults’ bodies & heads of children. Hitting pedestrians above their center of gravity means they’re more likely to be knocked forward & down and then be driven over.”
Plus more likely to hit in the 1st place.

There was a 3.4 magnitude earthquake in Groningen this morning, due to gas extraction.
Wilders was quick to sympathize but forgot to mention he pledged to remove windmills, build gas power stations and speed N.Sea extraction.
JA21, who pledged to drill more in Groningen, have been oddly silent 🤔

Recent large anti-Musk street art in Paris. It really shows how hated he is, you never see anything like this in Paris, even about "our" far-right politicians. By coincidence, they could use the inverted car, one of the few symbols to have emerged in Parisian street art in recent years.

Anyone else feel weirdly unnerved by the sheer amount of politically suicidal things Trump keeps doing? Is there method to the madness or is he really just that far around the bend and his staff is following him there?

I'm confused about the video clips Trump is pushing out on Truth Social and YouTube right now.
They're all shorter clips on various topics, but I'm not sure where they were shot or why they were done in this style behind a podium talking directly to camera.
