Trump Lawsuit Against IRS Puts Him on Both Sides of the Same Case
President Trump’s lawsuit against the government that he runs presents a mind-bending minefield of conflicts that could end with his appointees approving a federal payout to him.

Folks look at you like you're crazy when you say we're in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & then it's Saturday.
Again, every time someone says "Trump can't do that" the only serious response is "Yes, he can, until Congress removes him"

"I mention this because combat sports teach a lesson that politicians, for some reason, keep pretending not to know. If you back up from a bigger bully, it does not make the bully gentler. It usually just tells them the tactic works."

These were both dictionary-definition acts of physical courage. But libs are supposed to be wimps. So the desire is to backfill some reason why Pretti acted stupidly or Omar (who has dealt with threats for years) couldn't really be physically courageous.

Noticing thread in two RW reactions to MN events: the killing of Pretti, and Omar not flinching when she was sprayed by a crazy person.
On Pretti, lotsa "well it wouldn't have happened to me bc I stay inside and obey law enforcement." On Omar, theorizing (inc by Trump) that she staged it.(1/2)

Flanagan campaign poll, and primary is 6 months away, but look at that message testing number at the end … ICE is a millstone for Craig, no matter what she says now.

Not shown on video, but Latrisha Vetaw told Rep. Omar to leave and physically blocked her from returning to the podium. Rep. Omar then yelled "I'm not letting these fucking assholes stop us" and continued the town hall, seemingly unshaken.

Imagine you’re a hardcore MAGA guy. You’ve spent years mainlining right-wing media. You’re divorced and estranged from your queer kid. You finally work up the guts to attack a congresswoman for the cause.
And every person you like and respect is calling you a libtard fed plant.

I talked a little in this piece I wrote about ilhan last month that she’s a big fan of combat sports, and the way that influences her treatment of politics.
Last night you saw her first response to a physical threat was to square up and cock a fist. Case in point.

He’s talking about people they arrest, who will never even be charged with a crime, let alone prosecuted or convicted.
TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

This is probably the most instructive moment in the evolution of the Democratic Party on Palestine so far— AIPAC is now running ads against one of its (now former) closest allies in Congress, Tom Malinowski, because Malinowski did not commit to *unconditional* support for Netanyahu specifically.
