Yes! There wasn't a way to put this in the story, but Michael Dezer owns close to 2,000 cars and "donated" a thousand of them to a car museum inside his own theme park in Orlando. That's who is getting a tax break for lending out the family plane for ICE flights.

If any folks in Orlando are looking for a place to speak out about this, the Dezers own a weird indoor theme park / private car collection attraction… Dezerland.

A cartoonish map of Dezerland - a monument to grotesque wealth and opulence.

The shameless GOP lying about the No Kings gatherings scheduled for next Saturday reveals how deeply hostile much of the Republican Party is to “the right of the people peaceably to assemble.” I look forward to our local No Kings event, and urge my fellow Americans to attend in their communities.

When the orange shit-gibbon speaks about ANTIFA, he's speaking about me. I am ANTIFA. So are all of my brothers and sisters who served. More importantly, so are YOU. You are ANTIFA. Stay strong. Resist.

I think it would be a huge public service if major media outlets interviewed people given RIF notices and let them explain in detail what their jobs are so that people can judge for themselves whether these positions are wasteful like Trump and Vought claim or whether they help the country prosper.

Trump & MAGA are trying to steal our seats and silence our voices.

But Prop 50 gives us the power to take them back.

Make it count, defend democracy.

Vote #YesOnProp50 today and return your ballot—no stamp needed, no excuse. Let’s finish what they started.

Collect a claim from one side, collect a claim from the other, present them both to the reader with an awkward shrug and a "who can say?"

And the photo choice -- Noem's looking down ... on what? The reverse angle showed a small crowd and a quiet street. But can't show that, it's biased to one side!

David Corn @davidcorn.bsky.social · 2h

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

What horrifies me about this is that it is highly unlikely intelligence services etc didn’t know about Epstein’s activities long before this which means that child abuse is just something to turn a blind eye to (see also Cyril Smith, Al Fayed etc etc)

Guardian story - Tony Blair
Tony Blair met Jeffrey
Epstein in No 10 on advice of Peter Mandelson, documents reveal
National Archives papers show how then MP pushed for 2002 meeting between PM and
