Trump is trying desperately to create a crisis. And he will try to do the same thing in 2026 to prevent the midterms from happening. Hey America, let’s not let him.

I wrote about the contrived, retconned allegations against Abrego Garcia in April. There is absolutely no reason to think that the government is charging him based on anything other than the administration trying to save face. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Wow. What a sign that criminal case against Abrego Garcia may be politically cooked up. "Schrader’s resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons" Schrader spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nashville and was chief of the criminal division

When this antisemitic vandalism in Paris happened last weekend, I saw a lot of people online blaming Muslim immigrants and/or pro-Palestine protesters. Turns out it was Russia, wanting people in France to blame those groups to feed support for the far-right. www.france24.com/en/france/20...

"The projection they're using does not match what we want people to believe, so we reject it and pretend it's not valid." Just like they've done every other time they want to blow up the deficit to give more tax cuts to billionaires. They only accept CBO analysis if it makes Dems look bad.
