If the Middle East will allow Trump to go ahead with Trump Gaza, we will need to ask ourselves what did he give them in return.

That’s the main question. And I dare to say, it’s a question of national security.

If you would have described the traits of hard core MAGAs and Trump ten years ago…. Those very same people would have called those people SNOWFLAKES.

Constantly whining, always the victim, always angry at everyone else.

He knows her name, but he’s too butt hurt to say it. It’s Maria Cordina Marchado, Donald. She worked for years for freedom and democracy in Venezuela.

Tweet from Acyn: “Trump: The person who got the Nobel prize called today and said I am excepting this in honor of you because you really deserve it... I think she might have.”

TRUMP: Boy, she asks a lot of questions. Who are you with?

BURNS: Politico. Dasha Burns, sir

TRUMP: Dasha, Politico, ugh. Politico has gone bad. They've been so wrong about everything. Let's get somebody else to ask some questions. You mind? Politico is fake news.

Today in an interview with NBC News, Vance said that Trump was considering all of his options for deploying the National Guard to major cities, including invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807, which grants the president emergency powers to deploy troops on U.S. soil.

Trump on Ukraine: "They'd like to have Tomahawks. We talked about that. We'll see. I might have to speak to Russia, to be honest with you, about Tomahawks. Do they want to have Tomahawks going in their direction? I don't think so."

As ICE terrorizes communities, remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies that will make bank off his budget bill.

And Stephen Miller recently disclosed over $100K of stock in Palantir, the shady data firm ICE uses to target immigrants.

Cashing in on cruelty.

Federal mortgage-fraud prosecutions are exceptionally rare. The amount allegedly at issue in the Letitia James case is so paltry that it would not normally draw the attention of federal prosecutors, @ruthmarcus.bsky.social writes.

The Indictment of Letitia James and the Collapse of Impartial Justice

The question raised by the prosecution of James is: would any other federal prosecutor have brought this case against any other defendant? The answer seems to be no.

Look, maybe not *all* ICE and CBP agents are bloodthirsty psychopaths, but there are plenty of stories like this one and the rest of them sure as shit don't seem to mind, so ...

CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m.

The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom.

While he got his ID, agents opened the door and shot Chop.

The family tried to save him as he bled out on the kitchen floor.

That line, “there’s more that unites us than divides us,” can sound like a cliché. But right now, it hits.

All of us want affordable healthcare. Nobody can afford premiums that triple. Nobody wants to see service members standing in food pantry lines.

Party divides completely fade on these issues.

Let’s be honest: there have already been several bizarre moments from Trump this morning alone that would justify invoking the 25th Amendment.

He is a seriously unwell individual.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.

Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.
