George Will: "Pete Hegseth seems to be a war criminal. Without a war. An interesting achievement. ... The killing of the survivors by this moral slum of an administration should nauseate Americans. A nation incapable of shame is dangerous, not least to itself" www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

washingtonpost.comOpinion | A sickening moral slum of an administrationRegarding Venezuela, Ukraine and much more, Trump and his acolytes are worse than simply incompetent.

"Depriving people of their liberty" --that is exactly what this sloppy administration will be remembered for.

"SLOPPINESS": The Trump administration claimed that a man detained by ICE had a criminal convictions for marijuana possession in 2009. The judge pointed out that the man was 4 years old at the time. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“Yesterday, I reviewed unredacted evidence logs at the Department Of Justice. Oversight Democrats can confirm that the DOJ appears to have illegally withheld FBI interviews with this survivor who accused President Trump of heinous crimes." - Rep. Robert Garcia in a new statement

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

Some striking arguments here from Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) to Pam Bondi "You replaced real prosecutors with counterfeit stooges who robotically do the President's bidding" "Trump orders up prosecutions like pizza.. and you deliver every time"

I reviewed Epstein file redactions today. One redacted document is an email from Epstein’s attorneys recounting a conversation with Trump in 2009. The email includes no mention of victims and should not have been redacted. There were many other inexplicable redactions.

The heads of Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla all joined Trump at his inauguration. Since then, largely thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill, their companies have reaped $51B in federal tax breaks — paid for by huge cuts to our social safety net. This is what oligarchy looks like.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Breaking MS NOW: Some of the Epstein docs the DOJ invited members of Congress to view are STILL redacted, despite promises otherwise. Raskin says DOJ's reading room has just four computers. It would take seven years to get through the files in the current conditions established by the DOJ.

ms.nowLawmakers say some Epstein files remain redacted despite DOJ's pledgeReps. Jamie Raskin and Jared Moskowitz told reporters key documents retained redactions despite the DOJ's pledge that members of Congress could view the full files.

This should open some eyes of the 'conserviative' base of the US. It's not just a subtly racist authoritarian regime on the rise - it's an outright authoritarian regime on the rise. It continues under its own momentum - if you don't change your direction, you'll end up where you're headed.

It’s bad enough that we’re subsidizing extremely profitable sports teams with our tax dollars to build stadiums, but we’re letting them charge us $17 dollars for a beer and $11 dollars for a damn hotdog at the concession stand? Enough. Here’s one thing we can do about it.

Trump's big, ugly budget megabill gives ICE more agents than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries. Not one more penny for ICE.

The right move. And an excellent, forceful statement: "We have asked the court to order the immediate return of all seized materials and prevent their use. Anything less would license future newsroom raids and normalize censorship by search warrant.” wapo.st/4jUxQEe

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning I was sent this video of agents at her door:

TikTok is now state-controlled media. This morning I posted a TikTok about my legislation allowing people to sue ICE agents. It's sitting at zero views, and I'm not the only person this is happening to.

Taking over Greenland is not a joke. Trump is sending messages to foreign leaders and making threats that will destroy the most important alliance we have. Are Republicans in Congress and Marco Rubio really ready to throw NATO away because they’re too afraid to stand up to Trump?

mannonn.bsky.social reposted

“Is Greenland or NATO more essential to 🇺🇸 national security?” BESSENT: “That's obviously a false choice.” “Not from the perspective of European leaders.” Greenland Vs. NATO is not a “false choice” — it’s literally the only choice, and It’s the entire reason Putin wants this to happen.
