i strongly believe that the unpopular and widely-hated president should spend more time giving prime time speeches and thus forcing republicans in congress to defend his madness

Get a load of this. Trump's prime time speech tomorrow will be a "potpourri" of stuff he feels like talking about & he intends to do more prime time speeches going forward. This morning's Axios newsletter:

Murder is exactly what ICE is trying to cover up.

ICE agents weren't wearing body cameras when they killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. The three men who were with him are reportedly being detained separately and getting pressured to self-deport — while refuting ICE’s story. What is ICE trying to cover up?

I will wait to watch the Greek version with German subtitles.

I salute Christopher Nolan for making all the actors in The Odyssey use American accents. I’ve never liked the “everyone in the distant past/this fantasy world I made up is inexplicably English” trope.

Exhausting to march through town to protest. There cannot be enough outrage. The signs show the many ways that this country has been betrayed.

Niet alleen het etiket van Hertog Jan ziet er opeens anders uit, ook de ingrediëntenlijst is aangepast. Naast hop staat er nu ook hopextract op de fles. Dat is te proeven, beweren online critici. Maar klopt dat wel?

They're going to have nukes in a week. They interfered in the 2020 and 2024 Elections. They have ballistic missiles. Their leaders were killing their citizens. They've been at war with us for 47 years. Yeah, keep talking... jonathanlarsen.substack.com/p/us-troops-...

ICE seems to get completely flummoxed when they’re being yelled at by white men over 35. They kind of put their heads down and shuffle their feet. It’s like their kryptonite.

That was the obviously flawed assumption …

I get so frustrated with the fact that study after study shows that having a strong social safety net for everyone (UBI, healthcare, modest housing, etc.) costs less than every single one of our current thoroughly broken for-profit systems. But we persist in restricting who "counts" as everyone.

One would hope

Rand Paul tells me that he wants the full video of the Venezuelan boat strike released. “And I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.”

And … scene. Cut. That‘s a take.
