TAPPER: Earlier today - this isn't the first time - Trump appeared to be struggling to keep eyes open. Does that worry you?
REINER: It's jarring to see him go from basically asleep in the Oval to this rapid fire pace during a 30-minute speech he gave in 18. There's been a lot of health issues.

“Pete Hegseth happily releases a video after each strike... He recognizes when the American people see this video, they will be repulsed. It is basically the summary execution of two people clinging to wreckage.”

"One [victim] said that she was brought to Mar-a-Lago by Jeffrey Epstein when she was 14, and Epstein kind of nudged Trump and said, 'this is a nice one, right?' If two grown men are staying there with a 14-year-old, what message can you take from that? That's a question for Trump to answer."

If ANYTHING positive has come from this sadistic regime, it's that 62% of independent voters now favor a “legal path to citizenship“ over deportation for undocumented workers.

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Sorkin: This is now state-sponsored capitalism. This is not really capitalism. Everything runs through 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue now. That is a fundamental reshift, and that is something that’s more akin to places like China, frankly.

The White House says the Kennedy Center board vote was “unanimous”…
BULLSHIT.
@repbeatty.bsky.social, a Congressional member of the board, was on the call. They muted her and didn't let her voice opposition.
This is beyond absurd, totally illegal, and a disgrace to the memory and legacy of JFK.

1. He didn’t have the authority to change the name of The Dept of Defense, and he doesn’t have the authority to change the name of the Kennedy Center.
2. More importantly, he needs to be removed from office. He’s mentally unfit to be president, and he’s a clear & present danger to this country.

FOUR new deaths in ICE detention. That puts the total this year at 30 people dead; the highest in ICE's history and worse than even during the COVID years.
It's clear that the system is breaking down. Many of these are preventable deaths.

In the 90 minutes since I posted this, I've gotten two more death notifications.
ICE has a responsibility to take care of these people, something they are clearly disregarding. This is beyond horrifying. We must ensure dignity and humanity for detained people in this country.

Within 15 minutes today, I got two back-to-back notifications of deaths at ICE facilities.
28 people have died in ICE custody since Trump took office. These facilities are overcrowded & are putting their own profits over health and safety. We need oversight & accountability NOW.

Bari Weiss's entire career consists of playing to a small, niche audience that BELIEVES itself to be the vast, silent majority.
Now she's running CBS with that same schtick and it is just impossible to hide how niche her bullshit is.
