Yo, DHS (& pass this on to Stephen Miller when you see him):

When my Jewish grandparents fled Nazi Germany, & “Aryan” neighbors took their houses & their stuff, the Nazis WERE THE BADDIES.

(Also, you’re wrong about house prices. But the moral enormity is worse than the empirical falsehood.)
DHS’s post suggesting “if you help kick people out of the country you’ll be able to afford housing” is OG Nazism.

Rubio sure looks like an idiot here, talking to another idiot who is sleeping. Maybe they are doing a "Weekend at Bernie's".
Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

Trump just gave a commutation to David Gentile, a private equity executive who defrauded investors of $1.6B.

Meanwhile, Trump's regime has also scrapped enforcement actions against over 160 corporations accused of misconduct.

A new Golden Age for corporate criminals.

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol made $95 million last year. His workers are striking for the bare minimum. Glad to be on the right side of the picket line with them.

Steve Witkoff was appointed by Trump as special envoy for peace missions. Witkoff, a billionaire with no previous diplomatic experience, is in charge of mediating an extraordinarily complex international conflict, a role that requires him to be trusted by both Russia and Ukraine as an honest broker.

If a man personally implicated in war crimes can remain atop the Pentagon, why would he stand by and risk his freedom should Vance (or Trump again) lose the 2028 election?

And unless Bradley sees the inside of a brig, the message to USSOCOM's chain of command is that no action is impermissible.

The South American boat strikes are plainly murders. Now we have the names of the murderers. Do we have the political will to lock them up?

I'm shocked but somewhat pleased the mainstream media is going all Watergate on the Hegseth war crimes in the Caribbean. "Morning Joe" (yes, I know, don't @ me) has talked about little else for 2 hours

I'm not 100% convinced that this is the turning point but it might be, with Trump at just 36%

Seems obvious but...
The first strike was also murder. You can’t just up and kill civilians on the high seas and then claim you were at war with them.
Reporter: If there were a second strike that killed wounded people, would that be legal?

Trump: I don’t know that happened and Pete said he did not even know what people were talking about. I wouldn’t have wanted a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. It was fine.
