A restraining order was issued YESTERDAY by a federal judge barring detention of journalists in this district unless they refuse to reposition themselves and are given adequate time to do so, or there’s probable cause they’ve committed a crime.

First, they were sure Trump would bail them out.
Second, tribalism almost always beats economic self-interest.

Rare Earths are a HUGE card for President Xi to play!! This is a move that would not have been undertaken lightly and one that President Xi won't back down on unless he gets virtually everything he asks for from Trump.

Read Andrew Wilson’s latest. Great piece on the very bad numbers Trump is facing in the shutdown fight.

The Shutdown Blame Game Is Over — and Trump Lost

Fewer voters see Trump as "tough" and "energetic" now than they did at the beginning of his term.

This is capitulation. It is not the "Department of War." If CNN concedes on this point, they'll concede on any point.

CNN is now using the Trump preferred “Department of War” name in its official statements

One can hope but I'll believe it when I see it. Personally I think the GOP as a whole can't abandon Trump. But they have no replacement for him.

Eric Swallwell (D-CA) says it’s coming to an end and House Republicans are privately breaking, that a “jailbreak” is brewing the moment the Epstein files hit the floor, and that Trump’s aura of fear is finally cracking.

There is no left-wing violence in Chicago or Portland. It simply is not happening.

It's so not happening, in fact, that Republicans in Oregon took footage from two South American countries to create a hoax photo about Portland.

They have no actual violent footage to put forward.

Paid a lot of money? My checks are clearly late.

Timothy Snyder @timothysnyder.bsky.social · 2d

Our authoritarianism is run on clichés borrowed from the Eastern Europe of twenty years ago. Paid protestors, disloyal cities, evil Soros, vast conspiracies — it was all tiresome then and there, and now it’s pathetic.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

Trump: "They're, like, insurrectionists, they're terrible people. But you really wonder why. Why are they doing it? What are they gaining? Other than they're obviously paid. They're paid a lot of money."

The subtle implication that Trump v. U.S. has always been law and that a president's official acts weren't considered prosecutable when Smith started is disgustingly dishonest.

Anna Bower @annabower.bsky.social · 2d

You’ve gotta be kidding me.

This WaPo editorial presents a misleading revisionist history of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s criminal cases against Trump.

Then it has the gall to compare that to Trump’s overt targeting of his perceived enemies.

Really embarrassing stuff.
