When Biden gave the worst debate performance in history, my job as a neutral reporter was to write about it incessantly until he dropped out. When Trump gave the second worst debate performance in history, against Harris, my job was to lend credence to his claim that immigrants were eating pets.

The Trump administration says it will begin requiring universities to disclose “foreign funding.”
This is a carbon copy of the way Putin/Orban attacked universities and NGOs. It’s how Orban got Central European University out of Hungary and how Russia went after European Uni in St. Petersburg.

The ex-Honduran Prez Trump PARDONED was found guilty of trafficking more than 400 tons (!!!) of cocaine into the U.S. His co-conspirators used AK-47s, grenade launchers, & AR-15s to protect their loot.
So why the order to "kill them all" on a single drug boat? And why was Hegseth involved at all?

What is happening in Indiana is a profound threat to our democracy.
Trump has unleashed a vote-my-way-or-risk-your-life climate on Republican legislators that makes democracy near impossible.
For starters, all of us should be flooding these legislators with thanks and support for braving this.
