For years I believed we needed our own version of South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission. I now believe the first step in perfecting our Union is our version of the Nuremberg trials. Maybe center it in Minneapolis and hold all cruel federal public officials accountable.

It’s hard to accurately describe what is happening in Minneapolis without sounding crazy.
Unmarked rental vans all over the city, with people in military gear and no id jumping out of them to take captive anyone who looks nonwhite or who makes political speech they disagree with.

Republicans have come a long way from whining about “participation trophies” to this guy, who is so desperate for any sort of validation that he doesn’t recognize how sad this is.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Strange that the NYT would speak with Trump for two hours and not ask about the DOJ's failure to release the Epstein files, in violation of the law.

On the 5th Anniversary of the failed January 6th insurrection attempt, we’re reminded how fragile democracy can be. We must remember the darkness of that day so it’s never repeated. As history is rewritten by some, we choose to speak the truth of what happened.

The Moron Doctrine, it is
Of course it is. (He's going for some kind of record. He's already threatened military action against Canada, Mexico, Greenland, Panama, and Venezuela while taking punitive economic actions against virtually everyone else in the Hemisphere. The Monroe Doctrine it ain't.)
Trump: "Would I launch strikes in Mexico to stop drugs? It's okay with me."

“Ideologically” not needed here.
Trump only cares about those who are aligned with him ideologically.
Maduro was a brutal ruler, it’s true. So is Putin—who Trump supports. So was Bolsonaro, who Trump supports. So was the drug-trafficking former head of Honduras, who Trump just pardoned. So is Nayib Bukele in El Salvador. MBS. Bibi.
Stop pretending Trump cares about illegitimacy or brutality.
