Day by day, we’re seeing the Justice Department effectively decriminalize and wave away crimes by Trump’s friends and instead selectively focus investigatory resources on Trump’s adversaries and enemies. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/crime-is-n...

"These normie Republicans have become willing enablers of the cruelty and autocracy, the destructiveness and lawlessness, coming from the administration they support. Which is why some of us are no longer Republicans, and are unlikely to become Republicans again." www.thebulwark.com/p/rfk-jr-mah...

"Trump officials say the migrants are a public safety threat and a drain on the nation’s resources." In terms of the groups the Trump administration is referring to here, this is simply false. wapo.st/3FpDQFh

An incredibly devastating decision which simply ignores the human costs and blesses the Trump admin's stripping of status of hundreds of thousands of people who entered the country legally — which the explicit stated goal of rapidly deporting those people without a court hearing.

The Republican Party decided long ago that lying was a great political tactic, way better than yard signs, door-knocking and robo calls. The GOP realized its lies cost nothing to produce, and right-wing media would happily spread them, also for free.

This administration was already a joke in countless ways. But the USCIT’s decision striking down Trump’s tariffs could not make him look more hapless.

🚨BREAKING: In a devastating loss for Trump, a federal court has just invalidated his tariffs, ruling that he lacked the authority to impose them unilaterally without congressional approval. So. Much. Winning.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

Jong-Fast: This would be the largest cut to food assistance in US history—and it will result in hungry kids. It’s also important to mention that this bill grows the deficit. I don’t know how it manages to do the two things you absolutely don’t want—starve children and grow the deficit—but it does.

Crockett: It is time for Republicans to start calling him out and start questioning his mental acuity, and whether or not he is equipped to serve mentally. We know when it comes down to his criminality, he is not qualified to serve, but this is just absolutely deplorable.

Trump just pardoned a corrupt sheriff who was found guilty of taking bribes in exchange for law endorsement badges. Those who bought the badges used them to drive in emergency lanes, bypass TSA lines, and for other favors.

The executive branch is responsible for issuing student visas to attend Harvard (or any other school), and vetting those students for possible national security concerns is part of that process

It's also a misunderstanding of what the grants are for. It's not a billion dollar donation, Harvard won the grants to do specific research that it is in a relatively unique position to do. Trade schools aren't going to be able to take over, eg, Harvard's cancer immunotherapy research.

He never stopped. He laughed at Trump and continued the killing, because Trump is an international joke and his foreign policy team is filled with bumbling, weak, appeasing incompetents.

Funny, but when I was a federal prosecutor, people, including folks I know to be conservative Republicans, were absolutely adamant about prosecuting pay-to-play schemes that were much less bold and audacious than this one. Those folks all seem to have gone into hiding now.

At 1:34 AM Trump called for DOJ to investigate Kamala Harris, Beyoncé, Springsteen, Oprah and others for crimes, he then made another deranged post about it at 9:11 AM, and the lead story of the day on MSNBC and CNN continues to be Joe Biden in 2023.
