I hope you all end up under a bridge sleeping with your MAGA hats on.

This Sunday, Scott Pelley examines the recent firings and resignations at the U.S. Department of Justice.

I agree. But why are we paying attention to this while there is an ongoing purge at the Pentagon?

Musk took over the US government with graft and is using it—in combination with his space launch firm—to exploit an allied country that’s suffering under Russian invasion for its mineral rights. The scheme is so imperiously evil I feel like audiences wouldn’t find it believable in a Bond villain.

Yes

Good

What's even more significant is that Trump has NEVER confronted a political enemy openly and in public like that. He always does it via a tweet. And no political foe has ever fought back like that. Expect Trump to go after her and Maine very soon. She stuck a needle in his fragile power baloon.

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

There’s not a word in this story about the corrupt nature of this dismissal. Not a concern voiced, not a question raised, not even an acknowledgment that he’s the president’s biggest donor and he’s acting as an unelected, unconfirmed tyro wielding unchecked power over spending and the civil service.

REP. RICH McCORMICK: When you talk about presidential power, I remember having the same discussion with Republicans when Biden was elected TOWN HALL CROWD: *Noooooooooooo!*

Choke on it mfer. Go beg on the streets.

I have a theory. It's this photograph:

Wow, finally happened: The average wholesale price for a dozen large white eggs has now broken $8, per USDA.

The Trump administration is now bringing the postwar era to an end. No one should be surprised: this is what they said they would do. America's European and Asian allies need to adjust, quickly. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

How long until Trump revokes Pence's Secret Service detail?

Carlos Alcaraz and Luca Nardi walking to the umpire’s chair with their arms around each other. They’ve known each other since they were teenagers. Just two kids living their dream. 🥹

This is, in no uncertain terms, a rout. The New York Times published an unfortunate op-ed trying to legally justify Trump administration's #Birthright citizenship order. Here, five leading scholars show, with analytic precision, how that op-ed was "fundamentally flawed and irresponsible."⬇️

Most of the people quoted here *are Republicans* afraid of death threats *from their own party leader.* www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

Yes. Then blood, maybe. The question is will the US Military follow illegal orders from a traitor who calls them suckers and losers? Would American soldiers shoot Americans? For this to happen scores of top military officers would have to carry out such orders. Will they? I think they won't.

11 years old. Trump is an evil monster.

Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, just 11 years old, “took her own life in Texas after she was tormented by classmates who threatened to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) authorities and have her family deported from the US, her grieving parents have said.” www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

And why is this important?

My latest for the San Francisco Chronicle on why the FBI is unique, and uniquely dangerous in the wrong hands www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...

Wholesale price for a dozen large white eggs is on the version of hitting $8, per USDA data.

I hope Jack Smith is out of the country with his entire family and has sold all his assets in the USA and moved all his money to a secret Swiss bank account.

This is incredible reporting that must shock the conscience of each and every one of us.

You should have called Blago Trump's bitch. (You almost did).

“I am a king and my will is law” isn’t a clever distraction from what he’s doing, it’s the central underlying justification for everything he’s doing.

Quick reaction from a federal law enforcement official: “Men like Emil Bove would rather destroy the federal criminal justice system than just get therapy, it’s appalling.”

Trump is a Russian stooge. Putin may as well written this himself. And any Republican in Congress who said they support our allies before, but are silent today over this, are worthless.

Neville Chamberlain, to do him justice, never amplified under his own byline Hitler's propaganda against the Czechs

Lindy Li getting owned by Piers Morgan for being the liar that she is made my day. She’s managed to be a fake Democrat and a fake MAGA simultaneously.

What people don't understand, including you Senator, is that Trump no longer cares about any political costs for his actions because he plans to stay in power until he dies.

Don't worry Aaron, she'll come around in a few days a get behind Putin. Just wait.

when you're so pro-Putin that you've lost Maria Bartiromo ...

Fuck this asshole.

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...
