the extent to which Republican politicians in the twilight of their career who genuinely, strongly support Ukraine will sell out all of their beliefs to get behind our senile freak of a president is one of the most pathetic things I have ever seen

The reporting on the trans travel visa ban is criminal. It does NOT only affect transgender athletes. The cables CLEARLY say it affects all trans people. They can reject visas on point 6 of anyone who is requesting a visa that does not match their assigned sex at birth.

Anticipated a rush of hype, flummery and simplistic prize-targeting as newsrooms were cut down and personal ambitions were stunted. Did not imagine that Wall Street analysts and their demand for cheaper, shittier and more profitable papers would be dwarfed by billionaire publishers to come. My bad.

Since people in the media won't do it, I'll do it. Trump's recent bruised hand isn't new. It's been YEARS of him showing up with a bruised or bandaged right hand on the regular. A thread with receipts. Thus far, stories have treated it as new. It's not. They just keep buying answers and forgetting.

1. It’s Trump’s not Trumps’. 2. U.S. Attorneys are not the president’s lawyers. They are the government’s lawyers and therefore in the U.S. the people’s lawyers. 3. Ed Martin is fully on board with transforming a government of, by, and for the people into a government of, by, and for Donald Trump.

So many threads to pull here; the atrocious grasp of history & geopolitik, the glib lie about how the war in Ukraine began, the disgraceful abandonment of European allies. But it’s the alignment with the war criminal Putin, no friend of ours, that sticks out. What won’t Trump do to harm us?
