Intelligence Chair Crawford: "It's in our interest to revisit the construct of NATO and say, 'How does this work for us?' Because when we need help from NATO, by and large they aren't there.

Leader @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social: Our message to Florida Republicans is fuck around and find out. If they go down the road of a Desantis dummymander, they'll find themselves in the same situation as Texas Republicans. They started this war. And we're gonna finish it.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Trump grants asylum to white nazis from South Africa. This season opener has been banging, but I’m ready for episode 3 where the king and his entire court eat the poisoned soup.
BREAKING President Trump has signed sanctions against South Africa for their recent land seizure bill. He is ordering all aid to South Africa be halted and he is also ordering federal agencies to prioritize humanitarian relief and admission to the United States for Afrikaner refugees.
This is utterly terrifying if you think about it for even a microsecond
