This is Robert L. Martin. A Tuskegee Airman, he flew 63 and as he liked to joke, "and a half" combat missions in P-51's. Shot down while strafing an oil refinery in Yugoslavia. He was helped by resistance fighters and, after some time in hiding, made his way back to safety in Italy.

You would think that the President would be too busy to spend his whole morning having a melt down on social media about elections, but here we are.

And once again it works for Mike Johnson. He gets asked about Trump’s pardon of his crypto fraud guy yesterday after Trump’s 60 Minutes interview, he said he doesn’t know about it, then he DOESN’T GET ASKED a single question about it today in his press conference. bsky.app/profile/ronf...

The reason why Republicans get away with saying “I don’t anything about that” is because they usually aren’t asked about the topic again the following day or a few days later. Media has already moved on to the next illegality or abuse, and the cycle continues.

🚨🗳️🚨 Your vote matters. The gross assault on people like 53 year old, Ricardo Rodriguez, videoed here being brutally assaulted by ICE, is becoming commonplace. Fight the coup. Your vote IS your voice. 1/2

This is a classic form of voter intimidation—making people feel like it’s not safe to go to the polls. It moments like this where we need to summon our courage & vote anyhow. Vote in the tradition of the people who marched in Selma to secure the right to vote.

Breaking from NJ AG Platkin:

"Early this morning, law enforcement responded to threats that were received by email involving certain polling places in Bergen, Essex, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, and Passaic Counties. Law enforcement … have worked swiftly to secure these polling locations."

As Mamdani nears victory, Democrats worry about national fallout

The progressive candidate is on the cusp of a historic mayoral win. And that's adding to unease among Democrats looking for a way back to national power.

Trump said he’d be “the jobs president.” Turns out he meant job cuts. Nearly a million Americans out of work, and he’s bragging about marble bathrooms and his gilded ballroom.

New, from me: DHS says immigration enforcement employees like ICE are facing unprecedented threats and 1000% increase in assaults. But the data does not add up. Look at the details, and we see state agents using excessive force, and then lying about it.

First panel: "Obamacare is terrible. It’s bad health care."

Second panel: "So you will put forward a health care plan?"

According to new NBC and ABC/Ipsos polls, Trump's approval ratings — especially on the economy and cost of living — are now in the negative double digits.

Remember: Trump is a failing president.

He is not all powerful.
