tl;dr Trump:

"I don't know anything about Project 2025 but I did try to get its principal author laid."

Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan.bsky.social · 1d

So, per reporting from Zeteo’s Asawin Suebsaeng, in today’s new ‘First Draft’ newsletter, Trump tried to get a newly-divorced Russ Vought, Project 2025 architect & now budget chief, laid at Mar-a-Lago.

The details are, ahem, as crude as you’d expect from Trump.

Trump’s plan to pay the military during the government shutdown should worry every American

OPINION: President Trump’s order to pay members of the military during the government shutdown is a blatant — and troubling — violation of the Constitution, Christopher Mirasola writes.

Oak Park resident Scott Sakiyama reports feds pointed weapons at him across from an elementary school today. They then arrested him and took him to Broadview. While in custody, he saw agents texting in a group chat called "Chiraq Team 2."

Full testimony: www.facebook.com/share/p/1GqB...

This morning masked ICE agents pulled me out of my car at gun-point, threw me in the back of a van and took me to their facility in Broadview. I had been following the van down Harvard honking my horn and blowing a whistle to alert the community that ICE was in the neighborhood.

Just across from Lincoln elementary school, where my daughter is in second grade, they jumped out of their van with guns drawn and threatened to smash my windows.

They removed me from my car and drove me to Broadview.

They tried to determine if I was an American citizen (I am). After sitting handcuffed in the van for about 30 minutes, they issued me a citation for "impeding" them, claiming I cut them off (which is not true). They then drove me back to my car. While in their van, I could see they were receiving text messages that were part of a group chat called "Chiraq Team 2." They also stated they also spoke to someone on their phone saying they were going to meet someone else near where they were dropping me off, and that they were going to proceed to conduct enforcement activities with that person.

There is a compelling argument to be made that Trump and his many enablers hate America. They have no respect for the rule of law, the Constitution, political dissent, or anything that made America great. The regard for Trump above all else is not patriotic. It has been traitorous and destructive.

S.F. Mayor Lurie pushes back at Trump, saying the National Guard won’t help drug crisis

Mayor Daniel Lurie said Monday that sending the National Guard to San Francisco, as President Trump has threatened to do, would not make the city safer or help it tackle the ongoing drug crisis.

It’s such an odd coincidence that so many people in and around the Trump admin have insanely racist things surface.

Glad to see those with big platforms and audiences continue to speak out.

A tweet from Marco Foster reads: “Actor John Cusack: ‘The whole country was founded on no kings. We have masked goons roaming the streets, hiding their faces, abducting people. Go to hell. If he thinks this place is gonna be a fascist hub, no chance.’” Below, a CNN video screenshot shows John Cusack wearing dark sunglasses, a black jacket, and a cap, speaking to a blonde reporter outdoors with police visible in the background. The caption reads: “ACTOR JOHN CUSACK ATTENDS ‘NO KINGS’ RALLY IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.”

No other U.S. president has used the military as their own personal police force against the American people.

We implore the courts to reject Donald Trump's ongoing, illegal actions and definitively affirm states' sovereign right to handle public safety matters.

Trump’s video is the perfect metaphor for his lawless regime. Trump is figuratively doing this with his assault on the rule of law, the Constitution, his flagrant political corruption.
