So when grand juries indict Trump, that is Biden “weaponizing the justice system” despite the fact that he said nothing about it. When Trump demands an indictment & appoints his personal lawyer to get it after his first MAGA appointee refused, that is “how our system works.” bsky.app/profile/atru...
TAPPER: As a constitutional attorney & Speaker, do you think it's acceptable for any POTUS to publicly instruct their AG to prosecute their political opponent and go as far as firing a US attorney if they don't bring charges?

JOHNSON: A grand jury voted to indict Comey. That's how our system works

Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's flailing on the economy. He hasn't done squat to help working people. The Epstein scandal haunts him.

Remember that every authoritarian action Trump is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity.

Now that the Europeans have agreed to massively raise their defence budgets - which the US wanted (mainly?) so that they would spend the money on US kit - the US has turned around and said ‘we’re no longer selling to you.’

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

If a Democratic president cut off one of the red states dependent on federal funding, it would be a political scandal.

But cutting off California -- the single biggest "donor state" in the nation, one that sends in to the fed'l gov't ~$80 billion more than it gets back -- is straight-up theft.
(CNN) — The Trump administration is preparing to cancel a large swath of federal funding for California, an effort which could begin as soon as Friday, according to multiple sources.
