No other developed nation in the world would tolerate the monstrosity that is the GOP's Murder-Suicide Pact with America. It's time to face the fact that virtually every other leading democracy on the planet serves their people better than we do here. My latest. www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-big-b...
Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Should Doom the GOP. But It Will Doom Many Americans Too
Trump and the GOP will celebrate its likely passage with a pyrotechnic display of lies, to help them “justify” more tax cuts and other benefits for the rich and powerful.

If the U.S. military is given direct orders to seize Greenland—pull down another nation’s flag, and then claim the ground in the name of the United States—every senior commander has a moral obligation to refuse to accept or support such a command.

Honestly, it was so thoughtful for all the Trump folks to make stupid denials on camera yesterday — some under oath! — so this revelation would land so much harder.
The Atlantic and @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social are committing journalism today.
They have a vetted mega-scoop. They handled it responsibly.
The WH and Admin lied about it.
The Atlantic called their bluff.
The material released just now is even more damning for the Trump team.

Trump, do you want to set up a compensation fund for the 140 sworn police officers wounded by your J6 “patriots” too? Or is it just the criminals you’re proposing to pay reparations? Why should the taxpayers pay for the upkeep of your mercenary gang?
Trump says he's looking at setting up some sort of government "compensation fund" for the January 6 criminals that he pardoned

On this day in 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson told Gov. Wallace he would federalize the National Guard to protect Selma marchers. Alabama refused to defend justice, so the White House stepped in. A defining moment where federal power was used to uphold civil rights. #Selma

"Europe is on the brink of civilizational suicide," US Vice President Vance told Fox News. "Countries don’t control borders, restrict free speech. If Germany takes in millions more incompatible migrants, it’ll destroy itself. America can’t save it."
