Pretty convincing evidence here that the Trump administration was planning to jailbreak and provide asylum for Bolsonaro -- and that Trump inadvertently revealed the plan.

And this, as the now-cliche goes, would have been a paralyzing scandal for any other administration.
Trump appears to blurt out secret plan, not knowing it's already a bust

This reminds me of when our paper on kleptocracy and reputation laundering was edited by Chatham House after legal threats from someone who made his money from kleptocracy and was laundering his reputation. Similar cowardice from the embattled BBC. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...

If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

There was a time when the United States looked down its nose at the countries in South America for being lawless banana republics. Who's the banana republic now, bitches?

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

That tracks. The violence, neglect, and abuse of kids were the hardest parts of the deployment.

I also had some wonderful cross cultural experiences.

​It's baffling that we allow private companies to use public infrastructure as their R&D lab, externalizing the risk onto the public, while they fine tune their unproven software.

It's frustrating to see people invoke Lt. Calley as an example of how 'just following orders' is not a legitimate excuse. He was barely punished and there were dozens of US soldiers who literally got away with murder after the My Lai Massacre.

I really wish Americans knew their own history better.

If a German officer comes over in 1944, you take their intel and use them as a propaganda tool, but you don't make them a general in the US Army

George Conway is a friend of Brett Kavanaugh and a Federalist Society insider.

Few people are as responsible for the corrupt Court that has protected Trump.

Do not vote for him!

And the local prosecutor is going to sit on their hands
Remember the horrifying text messages that showed a Border Patrol agent bragging about shooting someone in Chicago last month?

The government just abandoned their charges against the woman who was shot to avoid even *more* embarrassing texts being released, it seems. New @motherjones.com
The feds suddenly want to drop charges against a woman shot by a Border Patrol agent
The move avoids the release of more messages from a Border Patrol agent whose previous texts showed he had bragged about shooting her.

Actually the question that occurs to me is "will you nominate him anyway even after years of people telling you they won't vote for him if you do, and then when you lose as you were warned you would, will you blame not yourselves but the people who warned you."
If he ends up being the Democrat on the presidential ticket in 2028, you would rather vote republican or not vote at all because of this issue?? That’s the million dollar question. Not the hill I would die on and def not worth losing an election over!

As a District resident, it’s really hard to articulate just how morally offensive this is.
These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws.

Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired.

They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

It's kind of an unspoken rule of the universe that the people who do the hard things keep getting to do the hard things & vice versa, the corollary to that is that if you show any strain from doing all the hard things you're "difficult"
