We’ve reached the point of history where we are living in the plot of The Running Man.
Kristi Noem has been working with the producer of “Duck Dynasty” to pitch a reality TV show—titled “The American”—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to a new report.
Noem Plots Reality Show Where Migrants Fight for Citizenship
A Homeland Security official told the Daily Beast that the show is in the early stages of vetting, though approval has not been given—or denied.

Why would anyone put Trump’s lie in their headline that these are “reciprocal” tariffs? This is part of the reason we are here right now.

Once again I ask:
Do you get it yet, law firms?
These orders aren’t isolated threats to Covington or Perkins or Jenner.
They’re existential threats to the independence of the legal profession.
You’re a fool if you think you won’t be next.
Say something. Do something.

Disgraceful response. They never take responsibility. Pete Hegseth put our national security at risk. He is completely unfit to lead.
Reporter: Can you share how your information about war plans was shared with a journalist?

“Don’t have the cards” is what he said to Zelenskyy in demanding Ukraine’s surrender to Russian conquest, in case there was doubt about which part of his brain this rant is coming from.
Trump: "We don't need anything from Canada, and yet it costs up $200b in subsidy to keep Canada afloat. So when I say they should be a state, I mean that. I really mean that ... some people don't have the cards."

Like Putin, Trump divides the world into the Weak and the Strong. The Weak deserve to be taken by the Strong. Borders endorsed by the weak are "imaginary;" the concept of sovreignty an illusion.

1/🧵 Judges across ideological lines are ruling against Trump at strikingly similar rates (84% liberal, 86% centrist, 82% conservative). This isn't partisan opposition to Trump—it's the judiciary functioning as intended by cutting across partisan lines to uphold the Constitution.
