In case people need a refresher:

The Trump administration is fighting contempt proceedings y in federal court over what happened “inside CECOT” to human beings unlawfully renditioned there.

Bari Weiss’s CBS News is now part of the coverup.

“when did you, jd vance, apologize for being white” feels like a pretty natural question for the press to ask the vice president now
JD Vance: "In the United States of America you don't have to apologize for being white anymore"

Well, the masks weren’t on very tight to begin with, but they’re fully off now. Weak, pathetic, hateful, insecure weirdos.

Handwaving away your party’s embrace of antisemitic conspiracy theories by saying “at least we’re not controlled by George Soros” is the most ridiculously quiet-part-loud thing I’ve ever seen.
JD Vance: "Wouldn't you rather lead a movement of freethinkers who sometimes disagree than a bunch of drones who take their orders from George Soros?"

Here we go. Elise Stefanik changed everything she was, everything she believed in, for power. And in the end, Trump endorsed another dude and Elise is out.
Shameful

I cannot emphasize how serious an assault on democracy this is. Any effort by the Trump administration to engage in false claims of fraud or mass voter suppression relies on this as a building block. As importantly, there is no legitimate reason DOJ would want this information.
🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice (DOJ) sued Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin and Washington, D.C. Thursday for unfettered access to the states’ voter registration records. The federal government has now filed lawsuits against 21 states, plus D.C.

This is a developing story...

I feel awful for our expert civil servants who faithfully served our country only to be fired by unqualified, uncaring, irresponsible men who couldn't even make it one year doing government work.

Looking at you Elon and Bongino.

Dear God, this is a bad #1 ranking.

I love the Police Squad movies, but ... no. No no no no no.
The movie listed at #1 is so incredibly misplaced that it calls into question the veracity of the entire list. It belongs on the list, yes, but SO MUCH further down. An absolute, credibility-wrecking flub. Boo, @variety.com! Boo!

Trump just admitted he knew nothing about someone he pardoned, which either means he's lying to avoid answering further questions or is being told whom to pardon by others and just doing so. The NYT has printed multiple items from this interview-- but nothing on this as of 10:06 ET
O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?

TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is

O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.

TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

I have never been a supporter of Donald Trump, but if Democrats don't end the shutdown, I will have no choice but to vote for him for the fourth time.

This…isn’t journalism
Q: One theory on how you might try to serve a 3rd term is that you could run at the vice president

TRUMP: Yeah, I'd be allowed to do that. But I would rule that out because it's too cute.

Writing three episodes of LitRPG every week is like riding a horse only to have it turn into a racecar in a few months once you've inevitably run out of buffer chapters.

For the record, he has a JD, was a constitutional lawyer for the ADF (rightwing group behind 303 Creative, the Colorado gay cake case, and current conversion therapy one), and was even dean of a law school that never opened (shady).

But also? Claims to have no idea how laws or constitutions work.
Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

Who is crucifying dogs?

Also, what a fucked up verbal tic to pick up from your father. They’ll describe anything that way.

“It was so hot that I drank the Gatorade in one gulp, like a dog.”

“That looks great on you, like a dog.”

“My father didn’t give me enough love and attention, like a dog.”
Eric Trump: "You saw what Jake Tapper did to Lara Trump. She said what everybody knew and everybody was saying and he came out and crucified her like a dog. They have tried to kill us at every road."

Trump’s latest tweet is about Kimmel.

“He made a total FOOL of himself, his wife and agent begging him not to do it, while also proving to be one of the Worst Hosts in the History of the Academy Awards.”
