Three thoughts.

1. It’s always been about the white nationalism

2. He is returning to the old favorites because his support is waning

3. He dabbled with this trope before but would always leave a hair of deniability. Going straight there also seems like a sign of weakness

The distance between the U.S. government killing people on boats and the U.S. government killing people on city streets is pretty damn short.
The latest U.S. strike on a suspected drug smuggling boat has killed two people in the Pacific, this one authorized by the Marine general who took command of military operations in Latin America and the Caribbean earlier in the day.

He’s been credibly accused on consorting with the most prominent pedophile of our lives. He can barely speak coherently and doesn’t seem to know what’s going on in his own administration. He’s running around threatening to start illegal wars.

He was right about shooting someone on Fifth Avenue.

The people whose names literally show up thousands of times in the Epstein files want you to think a 5-year-old refugee and star kindergarten student is the problem with this country rather than the white pedophiles in charge of it who keep stealing American money and assaulting American children

TRIGGER WARNING, because here is a US Marshal from Trump‘s Gestapo Force in Memphis kicking a puppy today in the Whitehaven neighborhood and breaking its rib. They were serving a warrant and I guess BIG MAN got scared of the schnauzer.

🚨HOLY CRAP. The Trump admin just took a SLEDGEHAMMER to due process, largely eliminating the Board of Immigration Appeals process and MANDATING DISMISSAL of ALL appeals (which cost $1,000 thanks to OBBBA) filed after tomorrow unless a majority of the BIA votes to hear the case.

Trump has posted on Truth Social about 65 times in the last 90 minutes, including a video he posted at 8:44 PM PT describing election fraud lies that shows racist AI images of Michelle and Barack Obama as monkeys at the end. I’ve confirmed this is real and watched it myself.

A few years ago, the IRS got additional funding. What happened? More audits of wealthy tax cheats and better customer service for everyone else.

Fast forward to now and the IRS is so understaffed and underfunded that it’s using HR employees to process tax returns.

Trump delivers for the oligarchs.

This is precisely what happened to the transcript of the Zelensky call that led to Trump’s first impeachment. They stashed it in a code-word classified system for political reasons.
The whistleblower complaint against Gabbard was allegedly that info was being classified for political reasons.

Now seems like a good time for the intelligence community IG to have its own FOIA office so you don't have to submit your requests for IG records through DNI headquarters first.

Amazon dropped $75M on the Melania doc — with a big chunk going into the Trumps' pockets.

Since then, Amazon Web Services got a $580M Pentagon contract.

And this week, Pete Hegseth visited Blue Origin facilities as the DoD overhauls how it hands out defense contracts.

Always follow the money.
