Since the Epstein thing is destroying MAGA, expect Foxnews to find some new trans athlete to be outraged about soon.

Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney called Donald Trump's bluff by announcing yesterday that good relations between the two countries were "over." Having miscalculated, Trump caved today. #TheArtOfTheDeal

The US is going through our own Cultural Revolution. Our cult of personality is also willing to burn everything to the ground for ideological purity. MAGA's predecessor left China an economic ruin, killed millions, and left the country without intellectuals or expertise. It took decades to recover.

Our Secretary of Defense almost certainly has more threatening/extremist tattoos and has more credibly been accused of sexual assault than almost all of the people being sent to El Salvador. No exaggeration.

He couldn’t even run a charity without breaking the law—Now he believes he’s in charge of the Supreme Court, Congress, our rights, and the U.S. justice system. Who’s going to stop him?!

NEW: A federal judge ruled Monday that President Trump's pardon does NOT apply to a Jan. 6 defedant's conviction for conspiring to kill his investigators.

But he said DOJ's shifing views of Trump's pardon required him to do his own analysis.

Dropkick Murphys just had an epic moment at their show:

They made a friendly wager with a fan in a MAGA shirt—“Let’s see where it’s made.”

Then they checked his MAGA shirt tag…

Made in Nicaragua.

They swapped it with a Made in America Dropkick Murphys tee.

Legendary.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s negotiation strategy in Afghanistan resulted in a “capitulation” to the Taliban and abandoning U.S. allies. Experts see strong parallels to how he’s dealing with Russia today, writes Andrea Januta.

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

On Thursday, Trump and Musk tried to fire 300 government nuclear officials.

Today, they realized those officials oversee the US nuclear arsenal — and they scurried to rehire the officials.

The veneration of white men to the exclusion of every other American has an historical parallel, I’m sure. I just can’t think of what it is…
I got a tip that the Defense Intelligence Agency removed several non-white history pieces from its museum, and put an exhibit honoring women at the agency into storage.

A DIA spokesperson confirms they yanked 3 "DEI" items from their museum. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...
