It’s a running joke that Trump’s staff is manipulating him with AI videos, but that increasingly seems like the only way to explain what he’s talking about.

Maybe it's because I'm a parent, but avoidable harm to kids really gets to me. My kids can be difficult when they don't get an afternoon snack at the usual time. I'm sure various parents and teachers can say the same. Watching a kid starve to death? And the US govt did it on purpose?
Unconscionable.

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) - Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family's food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food.
On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher's little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: "No one has died" because of his government's decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: "No children are dying on my watch."
That, Taher says, "is a lie."

Every time a GOP Senator blames the shutdown on Democrats, a reporter should ask why they don’t just eliminate the filibuster for budget bills, like they just did for block confirmations.

Epstein Files are Trump’s kryptonite. He is terrified of releasing them. Should be in the news every single day.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

Fed. judge grants the second motion for a TRO blocking Trump from sending California National Guard AND the National Guard from any other state or D.C for the reasons in her first TRO.

"I see those as direct contravention of the order I issued yesterday."

The Attorney General said she "demanded" that Apple remove ICEBlock - an app that allows people to track any ICE agents spotted, so they can be avoided.

The AG "demand" makes the removal of the app a government order -- which allows for a 1st Amendment challenge.
