Dementia Trump is out of his damned mind again, spewing nonsense and lies on his Truth social account. What Ukraine impeachment is he talking about? And also the Watergate, which happened in 1974!, is not a hoax.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonald Trump
The Ukraine Impeachment (of me!) Scam was a far bigger Illegal Hoax than Watergate. I sincerely hope the necessary authorities, including CONGRESS, are looking into this! Adam "Schiffty" Schiff was sooo dishonest and corrupt. So many laws, and protocols, were violated, and just plain broken!!! President DJT

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

Striking to me today is that the Republicans are already played out in their authoritarian overreach. We just aren't having any of this!

JD Vance indicates to NBC that Trump isn't opposed to invoking the Insurrection Act.

A key line from Vance: "The problem here is not the Insurrection Act or whether we actually invoke it or not."

Vance: I’m sure that in the course of his life he has been paid more than $50,000 for services. The question is did he do something illegal.

Stephanopoulos: I’m asking if Homan accepted the $50,000

Vance: Is it illegal to take a payment for doing services? Low income women can’t get food

This is the 3rd time in five years I’ve tried to get a rental car out of the Atlanta airport, and the 3rd time I’ve seriously considered just getting back on the plane and going home.

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

Thomas Zimmer @thomaszimmer.bsky.social · 5h

What he’s railing against is a profound shift in culture, status… He’s obsessed with the idea that America is controlled by a leftist “ruling elite” - but “elite” isn’t defined socio-economically or by political power, it means something like: Getting to define “real America” and who gets to belong.

The absolute worst case scenario for my trip to the UK just happened and I need help.

TLDR: Delta has a policy where passports have to be valid for at least 6 months prior to international travel. Unfortunately, my passport is below that threshold and they are refusing to let me board the plane.
