Trump is afraid that Dems will win control of Congress, so he’ll have no support for, or supposed legislative means of a securing, a third term, so he would no longer have protections from ending up in prison.

Trump probably views this midterm as his only chance to ensure he stays out of prison

REPORTER: Why choose to do this press conference this way? Your agency is about to run out of funding. You were just in Arizona last week. And you bussed all of us to a secure facility. This doesn't seem top secret.

Q: You said the Iranian nuclear sites have been 'totally obliterated.' What's left to go after?

TRUMP: You could get whatever the dust is down there. If we do it, that's really the least of we mission. But we'd probably grab whatever is left.

Today, one day after Homan announced that his death squads were leaving here, Minnesota is unseasonably warm and very sunny. It feels like spring. Snow and ICE is literally melting, and fast.

I know. I know we can't trust these goons, but let me enjoy this too-on-the-nose metaphor for just a bit.

He really is the weakest senator there is. Two people have been murdered, there’s been no accountability, and he believes the Senate is powerless. He believes Trump gets what Trump wants.

Because DHS paramilitaries are masked, heavily armed, poorly trained, and have been terrorizing Americans for months.  Because Americans don't want to vote at gunpoint. #holdfast

NEWS: Two ICE agents who chased and shot a man in Minnesota lied under oath, another example of the federal government’s narrative falling apart. It must be pretty flagrant for ICE to be making these disclosures now.

This was from a townhall-style event AOC just did at the Munich Security Conference. She'll also be on another panel there in a couple hours.
AOC: "I think we have to recognize that we are in a new day and in a new time. But that does not mean that the majority of Americans are ready to walk away from a rules-based order, and that we're ready to walk away from our commitment to democracy."

one of america’s most cherished folk singers wrote an entire song about what a cruel criminal piece of shit donald trump’s father was all the way back in 1954 and somehow this basically never comes up in any story about the trumps, they have literally *always* been this way
the whole fucking family from trump’s parents on down have been a goddamned blight on this country for at least seven decades

DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law. They are tear-gassing schools, killing American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats shouldn’t fund an out of control ICE.

I compare Trump to Cataline often because of the lessons everyone learned from him: did the Republic succeed because their guardrails prevented Cataline from seizing power, or did Cataline fail because he was a hubristic moron?

Europe hopes the former, the Germans think the latter.
Europeans (except Germans) tend to think the continent can ride out Donald Trump, and that once he is no longer president US foreign policy towards Europe will return to how it was before

Really is something that every single chart below shows that negative attitudes to the US correlate explicitly with Donald Trump being in office and that they reversed themselves when he left in 2021 only to go back to negative when he came back last year.
