Everywhere this man goes he should be treated as if he murdered millions of children, because he did.
The Project 2025 architect who promised to put federal employees “in trauma” is spending $15 million of former USAID funding—money that would have gone toward fighting HIV, polio, malaria, and other diseases—to bankroll his security detail. trib.al/TSV3cmb

So well written. So short but so potent. “Of for and by the people or perish.”
The speech is so well known, we often don't absorb its meaning. Lincoln speech opens stating clearly that the Revolution was to preserve equality and ends saying rule of, by, and for the people is what preserves it. See for yourself 2/2

Maxim Naumov should have all our love and support. He skated the program of his life today in the men’s short program. He skated for the US and in honor of his parents (former world pairs champs) killed earlier this year in that DC plane crash.

Just a reminder that when the United States of America invited a healthy young Donald Trump to represent his country on the global stage, he secured five different draft deferments to get out of it.
The president is now attacking a US Olympian as a “Loser” and misrepresenting his words for his mild unspecified criticisms about things going on in the US right now.

American star Alysa Liu overcame a delay en route to the Milano Skating Arena caused by Vice President JD Vance’s motorcade and finished second in the women’s short program at the Olympics team event.

Nothing could stop the U.S. figure skating team. Not even JD Vance’s motorcade.

Alex Pretti wasn't killed by rhetoric, he was killed by two masked CBP agents shooting him 10 times in the back after they had disarmed and pepper sprayed him.
Rhetoric didn't kill Renee Good either, a thug from ICE did that with a gun as she tried to avoid hurting him.

1. Trump certainly wants to fully rig elections.
2. He has no actual plausible plan to do so.
3. We should absolutely take the threat very seriously and actively do what's possible to protect elections and democracy.
4. What's actually likely is success or failure at the margins; every bit counts.

The last time he started talking like this, his allies minimized the risks and we ended up with January 6. This time we must take him literally and seriously. These comments are a five-alarm fire for democracy. In a functioning republic, he would be impeached and removed from office today.

How did they redact abusers but not the victims? And they expect us to believe 40 nude photos went unnoticed?
That’s exactly why people think the DOJ did this on purpose, to shame these women for coming forward.

That was actually real work. But it wasn’t up to Donny’s impeccable fold overload standards and he didn’t get a 10% or or more consultancy fee.
Since a lot of the coverage is omitting this detail: The Kennedy Center HAD a $250 million renovation and expansion just a few years ago, in 2019.
