Guards began beating him. Beat him until he bled. Knocked his face into the wall, broke all his teeth. No access to outdoors, no contact with relatives.

CBS cancels tonight's CECOT segment. So much for transparency and fairness, right Bari? C'mon, admit it: Ellison directed you to bury this so he can con Trump into supporting his Warner Bros bid.

Why, why, why does anyone expect Trump to be anything other than what he is to the core: despicable, depraved, disgraceful.

@markhertling.bsky.social warns the gravest threat to the U.S. military is the erosion of the values that keep our forces lawful and legitimate. He implores Congress to investigate whether unlawful orders were issued in the Caribbean, and hold every official to account.

All we need to know about why Trump is pressuring Ukraine to accept Putin's "peace" plan by Thanksgiving. It's always the grift.

Perhaps the Commander-in-Chief should take the time to understand illegal orders.
What Americans Should Understand About the Military Disobeying Illegal Orders
And why it matters there are two military oaths.

Hmm. Not what I expected in the Goldenest Age in the history of the universe.
TEN MONTHS IN:

The national debt is higher.

The trade deficit is wider.

The inflation rate has worsened.

The unemployment rate is up.

Trump and his house of horrors... on the same day he posts a call to execute House/Senate members for urging military to uphold their oath to the Constitution. Another example of hate in our daily nightmare.
U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

Another disgraceful jumble of lies from the Trump administration. And it ain't AI.
This is a new low. The @usdagov.bsky.social official website is blaming transgender individuals, undocumented workers, & @democrats.senate.gov for the possible loss of SNAP benefits during Trump's shutdown.

Democrats want to prevent Healthcare price hikes!

If Trump and his minions think he can run for a 3rd term, then Barack Obama can, too.

Trump is so damaged, so corrupt that all he knows how to do is ruin everything he touches. Young girls, women he's assaulted. His marriages, businesses. The children he's turned into grifters like him. And everything good about America that seeks to help people rise up.

He tears it all down.
