The term to get familiar with now is "malicious compliance"
Trump isn't going to release the Epstein files. He's going to release something that has been sliced and diced to his political benefit.

It's going to be hell for ICE in Chicago. For many of us, resisting them has become part of what it means to be a Chicagoan. These are from today and Sunday: two huge rallies in 72 hours, the second called with a days notice...

As we all know from recent history, if an aging president can show up for one speech, there's no need to worry about ongoing health. They are fine. Stop asking questions!

I stand with ... *checks notes*... John Bolton?! Oh COME ON!!!
Now if he did illegally have classified information then he should be held accountable. But it's a bit rich coming out of Trump's DOJ.

Real help for people is better than clever memes.
Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect.
As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

Republicans need to wake up.
Trump is showing that he's willing to weaponize the DOJ to go after his enemies.
If you think kissing his ass will protect you, you are wrong. He's a narcissist. He will turn on you in an instant. He will not reward your loyalty.

What is slowly driving me mad is seeing political hacks with no knowledge of science accuse scientists of being political hacks.
For the first time in 30 years, the American Academy of Pediatrics is substantially diverging from U.S. government vaccine recommendations.

Actual Nazis
The whole power structure from Trump and Noem on down that isn’t firing this Nazi is also responsible. The US newspapers and tv stations that are treating it as a nonstory are responsible too.
The Independent has identified Eric Lendrum as the DHS PR officer responsible for a relentless flood of social media posts on DHS pages using Nazis memes, slogans and images. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Can somebody call DOGE? This seems really inefficient.
"At one intersection, a minor traffic accident between a car and a moped brought at least two dozen agents running, some wearing masks and one carrying a rifle. Local D.C. Metropolitan police were also on scene."

We really need to stop talking as though there's a strategy to any of what a Trump is doing.
Example: tariffs on Brazil makes no sense on its face. Even when he established them he said it was to punish them for their political choices.
