I've long believed 2016 Russian operation in US was most successful intelligence operation in recent history.

With disclosure that Durham investigation all predicated on disinformation, I double down on that opinion. Russia completely destroyed the United States.

Quick note to everyone pretending that Zohran Mamdani somehow favors communism, here’s the Republican president literally saying on camera that he wishes America were more like Communist China.
Trump: "In China, you know how long it takes? One day. It's called President Xi. 'Boom. It's okay.' Over here we're gonna have almost the same thing. We're getting fast approvals."

The president of the UNC system wrote to the Senate supporting her: McMahon’s “longstanding commitment to service and strong belief in the enduring values of American higher education position her well for this critical leadership role.”

Pls, NC reporters, follow up with him on this attack of UNC.
Linda McMahon: "Universities should continue to be able to do research as long as they're abiding by the laws and in sync, I think, with the administration and what the administration is trying to accomplish."

“Habeas corpus is the legal principle that requires the government to provide a public reason for detaining and imprisoning people. If not for that protection, the government could simply arrest people, including American citizens, and hold them indefinitely for no reason.”
Does Kristi Noem even know what habeas corpus is?
The Homeland Security secretary's word salad raised even more questions about the administration's assault on fundamental rights.

I see the already historically unpopular president is exploring how to get the military invovled in “assisting” local law enforcement just a few weeks before the real shortages caused by his inept economic policy start hitting. Probably nothing to worry about.

Congress could repeal the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. They could. But the GOP is all in on the cruelty and the demonization of immigrants. All in, complicit, and too afraid of the tangerine tyrant to do the right thing. They are heartless and soulless, every one of them.

If the U.S. military is given direct orders to seize Greenland—pull down another nation’s flag, and then claim the ground in the name of the United States—every senior commander has a moral obligation to refuse to accept or support such a command.

Trump told America he had a deal with far-right El Salvadoran dictator Nayib Bukele to temporary hold U.S. deportees for a fee.

Now we know that was a lie.

Trump told Bukele he'd _sell_ him bodies to _own_—to be housed in his massive prison (CECOT) until death.

America is back in the slave trade.
