I realize that every word that comes out of his mouth is outrageous in one way or another but unambiguously framing execution as a legitimate response to disrespect is still noteworthy
Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"
Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."

How to Destroy the North Atlantic Alliance with This One Weird Trick
Framing a violation of international law in the way of “4 easy steps to optimise your skincare routine” is a new level of ghoulishness.
I don’t even know what to say at this point.

A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis
The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway
They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

The job of federal civil servants is to SERVE the American people in accordance with our laws and our values. Not to demand obedience. Not to thrust boots in our faces.

The sign on Kristi Noem's podium reads "One of ours, all of yours." The reader will recall that this was a fascist rallying cry in the Spanish Civil War. What it means is that one of "our" people is worth all of "your" people.

New: Trio of Dem senators urge Apple and Google to enforce their own terms of service and ban X, Grok apps for their flood of nonconsensual sexual imagery.
I've repeatedly asked both Apple and Google about this for three days. They're completely silent, seemingly hoping the question just goes away.

Co-signing this. Grok is out there making CSAM on request from pictures posted to the internet.
And if you posted pictures of your kids to Twitter, you LICENSED Grok to do that. Take those pics down NOW
