BlackRock, KKR, Vanguard, State Street, Cerberus, Goldman, Morgan Stanley, CoreCivic, and GEO Group all partnered w/Trump’s #DHS to build an eviction > detention > asset-flipping pipeline—profiteering as #ICE clears buildings, every mass deportation action triggering waves of rental asset turnover.

After Musk was accused of failing on his “$1 trillion in savings” promise in the Oval Office with Trump, he “body-checked” Secretary Bessent in the ribs. Bessent retaliated which resulted in Musk showing up with that bruised face after staff broke up the brawl.

Finally, someone calls him out. Thank you , Governor Pritzker. It’s like lighting a match to dispel the trump gas. I volunteer for patriotic duty! “No you can’t!” is my battle call. Hard stop. The Constitution rules not Presidents. Presidents administer government under the Constitution.

DURBIN: Why did you publicly claim to have the Epstein client list waiting for your review and then produce nothing relevant to that claim?

BONDI: There was no client list.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

"RFKJr is trying to eliminate the agency responsible for supporting states & localities w/ overdose prevention," says Dr. Eric Rafla-Yuan.

The doctors are also concerned about his attacks on psychiatric medications.

Let's not forget that he's a fan of viruses, too.

Yes!
We're all seeing Trump’s increasingly severe deficits in:
cognition (confabulation; disorganized thought process);
memory (his Mexico/Canada trade deal, etc);
emotional regulation (rage); &
reality testing (persecutory/paranoid ideation).
All symptoms of Major Neurocognitive Disorder:
Dementia

Neurocognitive Disorders (Mild and Major)

Neurocognitive disorders, mild and major, include a group of conditions which were once all grouped under the umbrella term “dementia.” The conditions involve similar cognitive impairments and decline...

I know invoking Latin terms can be a bit esoteric, and "dementia" is fine and accurate, but I think there's real merit in zeroing in on the relevant legal concept: he is non compos mentis. Not just that he's a batty old man, he is debilitated in a concrete legal sense, fit for conservatorship.

Eric Michael Garcia @ericmgarcia.bsky.social · 1d

Ruben Gallego on whether Trump is talking to Democrats:

“Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so I think there's a he's probably talking to himself, or think he's talking to a Democrat, but I sincerely doubt that that's actually he's actually physically talking to a Democrat.“

Will Speaker Johnson really block a lawfully elected Member from being sworn in? Federal judges can do it—but only with his say-so. Imagine the headlines if Democrats go ahead anyway! Should democracy be held hostage by GOP partisan games? RT if you agree. #Trumpstein

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio insisted “no one has died” as a result of U.S. foreign aid cuts. In Myanmar, the grieving father of a 2-year-old boy who died after their food rations were cut calls such claims a lie.
