Really enjoyed my discussion with @mjsdc.bsky.social about war powers, international law, and how the Trump administration has repurposed the “terrorism” framing, starting around 26:30 here.

Have a listen.

The ICE agent who shot Marimar Martinez in Chicago tried to goad her out of her car.

He said “do something b*tch” and shot her 5 times.

The ICE agent who shot Nicole Renee Good did the same thing. Stood right in front of her vehicle and yelled “f*cking bitch”.

They hate women & it shows.

Our entire politics now is about our sundowning, failing, unpopular leader, whose powers are clearly ebbing, maniacally trying to find ways to restore his STRENGTH, POWER, and MANLINESS.

Like seizing Greenland; taking VZ’s oil; killing men in boats; terrorizing US cities; bombing other countries.
Not everyone believed me when I wrote that Trump wants Greenland becuase it would make him feel important, but that's what he told the NYT:

When asked why he needed to possess the territory, he said: “Because that’s what I feel is psychologically needed for success"

President Trump on Fox News

- says 2 US military injured
- refers to 300,000 US deaths (eg fentanyl)
- says we're (USG) deciding that now - on what comes next for VZ government
- asked about lack of congressional authorization, says they'll say "Oh Gee maybe it's not constitutional"

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

It’s not “patriotic” to bail out Argentina while Americans are struggling, to build a ballroom while cutting SNAP benefits, or to pad your own pockets while claiming “affordability” is a hoax.

Her writing drains charisma from a blank screen
Bari Weiss just sent this Christmas Eve email to the CBS News staff about "building trust," which includes her tripling down on spiking the CECOT piece "to make sure it's comprehensive and fair."

One CBS staffer tells me: "She really has no idea how insulting she comes across."

Rick Steves is an American treasure. Just all-around, one of the absolute best of us.
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

If the 25th amendment were triggered by any objective metric of presidential insanity or unfitness, Trump would have been launched out of the White House ten seconds into tonight’s speech. Or 11 months ago. Or daily since.
