Q: The family members of US service members are concerned about the conditions on the USS Lincoln
TRUMP: No they're not
Q: Has the deployment gone on too long?
TRUMP: No no no. Not nearly long enough.
"In case you’re keeping score, Donald Trump has claimed that a 'deal' with Iran was just about to happen at least 38 times since he started the war." Maybe more since this was published three days ago.
it’s crazy that you can be the president and be like “i’m the messiah and i am going to bomb and murder children” and tens of millions of people who ostensibly subscribe to a religion that say doing both of those things is bad will snort their approval like the little hogs they are
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
NEW: “CBS Evening News” producer Alicia Hastey sends a bombshell farewell note:
Stories are “evaluated not just on their journalistic merit but on whether they conform to a shifting set of ideological expectations.”
"No infraction is too small to be investigated and, if the evidence warrants, charged. We will need an American Nuremberg."
Today's Triad from @jvl.bsky.social: lnk.thebulwark.com/49KD9mm
Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.
If you think American citizens should be summarily executed by masked federal agents, you’re not a patriot.
If you think the lawless goons loyal to our demented pedophile criminal president are greater than the people of Minnesota, you’re not a patriot.
You’re a fucking Nazi.
One thing we can say that we know for certain, no matter what abuses of power or corruption Trump engages in, Republicans in Congress will do and say nothing. Except that Susan Collins will continue to be concerned.
"The fact that their whole narrative of this falls apart under just the tiniest little puff of scrutiny here really just shows that they have nothing."
@eggerdc.bsky.social on the shameful response by the Trump administration to the fatal shooting of Renée Good.
Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta.
Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.
Trump had Mike Johnson remove Turner as House Intel Chair because he was perceived as too sympathetic to Ukraine. Turner was upset at the time and called it out. But now he’s a completely broken and beaten man. bsky.app/profile/atru...
It’s the year 2025 and Americans have to watch a bootlegged international version of a news program because it was censored here in our country to protect a criminal president.

So, a senior Justice Department official — along with several members of Congress — used the authority of their offices to boost an obviously dubious conspiracy theory accusing a federal employee of a horrific crime.
And now it’s clear the allegation was baseless.

Holy shit. This video gave me chills. If you watch one thing today, please let it be this.
Women’s March is speaking directly to ICE agents, to their humanity & asking them to walk away from Trump’s unconstitutional crackdowns.
Watch. Like. Share. Make it impossible to ignore.

So Meghan McCain wants to know how she’s supposed to raise her children in a state with an attorney general who said horrible things? Gosh Meghan, I don’t know. Maybe the same way you raise your children in a country with a president who says horrible things every day.👇
I have seen this play out for ten years: The thing they accuse you of having “TDS” for fearing today, they will excuse or ignore tomorrow. This is a law of contemporary American politics.
Terrorism - my def, not the overly broad ones the FBI or others use to enable them to press charges - means organized, non-state actors engaging in indiscrimate attacks on civilians for political goals.
Lone wolves? No.
States? Terror by states already has a term: War crimes

From me, a list of Trump supporters who killed, or tried to kill, Democrats and opponents of Trump in recent years (since the right are now claiming all the political violence is from the left!)
Receipts:

/6 Also: if a Left-wing activist even remotely as strident as Charlie Kirk had been assassinated, Charlie Kirk would have smirked and applauded, as would have many of the people who are going to be loudest about Charlie Kirk. Don’t buy the hypocrisy.
/4 But it’s perfectly reasonable to point out that the people who will wave the bloody shirt over this — the people who support Charlie Kirk — are evil hypocrites who endorse and excuse violence every day. Refraining from celebrating doesn’t mean tolerating bullshit.

Very weak, @cbsnews.com. It was absolutely correct to edit out the footage of Kristi Noem, who lied about Kilmar Abrego Garcia and stated numerous unsubstantiated charges as established truths. You can't placate extortionists, as your $16 million bribe confirmed.

CBS News is giving up the power it has to hold “Face the Nation” interviewees to account. Following pressure from Trump, it has agreed not to edit interviews, even to remove false statements or propaganda uttered by political operatives and officials, or add explanatory context.
Sen. Smith: "Last week, in the days after the tragic shooting in my home state of Minnesota, you went on Fox News blaming school shootings on anti-depressants."
RFK: "You're just making stuff up...I never said that."
Sen. Smith: "I am not making that up."
Immigration cops arrested & detained two firefighters while they were actually battling a wildfire. Hey 2026 American voter, is this what you want America to be?👇
Trump: People go into war and then they get their asses kicked and they lose their country, Nobody goes into a war thinking they're going to lose. I'm sure Ukraine thought they were going to win. You don’t go into a war that’s 15 times your size
What Trump/Texas just did will lead to the death of representative democracy. They’ve opened the door to gerrymandering every 2yrs, b4 any election. And when that happens, Americans will no longer believe their representation is legitimate. And representative democracy will die.
BREAKING:
Trump makes clear why he is attacking mail-in voting.
Trump: "If you have mail in voting, you're not going to have many Democrats get elected."
The next part of the plan to steal the midterms and/or the 2028 election - an attempt to do a mid-decade census to take seats and electoral votes away from blue states. I knew this was coming.
