Everyone involved in this, including Trump, should be prosecuted for murder under the next administration.

Let him defend it with presidential immunity, and then take it back to SCOTUS after packing the court back into a real judicial body.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 29d

Awful: Pentagon officials told lawmakers Trump now claims authority to bomb people merely “affiliated” with “narco-terrorist" groups, Rep Adam Smith tells me. But under questioning, they wouldn't say what “affiliated” even means!

Lots of fresh info in my new piece:

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe.

And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

Please please please @travisview.bsky.social cover this in a future episode. The Mike Lindell deposition episode was so good and this could be another banger. Plus it has Larry Klayman as her attorney. He could be the subject of his own episode.

And it's the reason why she ended up getting divorced from her husband, Perry, who I know. 'Cause when -- at the time, during my campaign, they were married, and they came to my event. And it's well-known. And she's even admitted to it that they got divorced because of her marital infidelity. So --

Lonely young men used to make Midwest emo bands with twinkly guitar sounds. When we stopped doing that our country went to hell

Eric Michael Garcia @ericmgarcia.bsky.social · Jul 14

Growing up, lonely young men would just buy a guitar and find a guy who couldn’t sing but had a PA system and start a band. Now they just start a podcast about how lonely they are and blame women.
