Vance makes an explicit no enemies to our right + no racism boundaries at all ("self-defeating purity tests") offer to the Trump coalition.
JD Vance: "When I say that I'm going to fight alongside of you, I mean all of you — each and every one. President Trump did not build the greatest coalition in politics by running his supporters through endless, self-defeating purity tests."

I have to say I think it was a mistake putting Barry White in charge of CBS News. Great singer but he’s no journalist, and he’s been dead for 20 years

One of the Venezuelan men interviewed by Sharyn Alfonsi for 60 Minutes said that guards at CECOT would routinely grab prisoners’ genitals with their hands and “tug on them” as a form of torture.

This has been made available, so for purposes of commenting on Bari Weiss's decision to spike the story, here's a live-post of that segment.
It begins with a "you may recall" summary of the deportation to el Salvador. Describes the admin's claim that it could deport the men without due process

The bit that gets missed in the scandal around Farage's schooldays is that his school made him a prefect - despite warnings from staff about his conduct.
It's a recurring theme for Trump, Johnson, Farage & co. We can't be surprised at the way they behave, when their behavior is constantly rewarded.

I'm no history expert but am always curious about it. Spent time today digging into the Congressional Record from over 60 years ago. The history behind the naming of the Kennedy Center is especially poignant, so I wanted to share it with our readers. wapo.st/48OyZtb
Analysis | Trump’s predecessors would be unsettled by his naming obsession
The nation’s past chief executives, with rare exceptions, have refrained from slapping their names on things while in office.

Per @garretthaake.bsky.social, the extremely tacky "presidential wall of fame" that lines the colonnade to the West Wing now has obviously-Trump-penned plaques insulting or praising the presidents.

I just don’t really know what you do about having a genuine psychopath as President man.
Trump doubles down on his Rob Reiner attack: "I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person... He became like a deranged person, Trump Derangement Syndrome. So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape or form. I thought he was very bad for our country."

To be fair it’s going to be very funny when these clowns invent AGI and the super intelligent machine tells everyone to get offline, avoid processed food, stroll in the woods, seek community, eschew racism, pay high marginal rates of tax and ignore the ravings of deranged billionaires.

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control.

I identified myself as a US citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out. Even after I complied, I was taken to a detention center and held for 3 days without charges. No phone call, no lawyer, no medical care
