I have my own harsh criticisms of how the media has covered this era, but I'm mystified at this perspective.
MORE: Judge Sooknanan order DOJ to file yet another status report. She sets 10:45 pm deadline for Ensign to address whether all of the children have been returned to ORR custody.
💯%. I've come to accept how morally depraved Donald Trump is. But I'll never get over how blindingly imbecilic he is. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
NEW -- Exactly 10 days after taking the oath early this year, Donald Trump nearly drowned dozens, potentially hundreds, of his own citizens in California’s Central Valley. Why? Because he is one of the most ignorant people you will ever meet. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
The police version of the crash, as relayed by a local Manchester reporter, is unsurprisingly quite different from what Giuliani's spokesman says. The whole thing is even more murky now, however. manchester.inklink.news/rudy-giulian...
From the WH pool this morning: Trump left for an “unannounced location” at 9:27 a.m. His motorcade then drove to his golf club in Virginia, arriving at 10:02 a.m. “There was one person in a car who gave the motorcade the middle finger as it drove by,” the pool report states.
Rudy Giuliani suffered severe injuries in a car accident last night, according to his spokesperson

Judge Sooknanan: "These children are going to be deplaned. They're going to be returned to ORR custody. And no attempts will be made to remove them from ORR custody and remove them to Guatemala, in light of my order, while these preliminary emergency proceedings are pending."
Judge Sooknanan: I am trying to do the best I can to fulfill my obligation as an Article III judge. I appreciate you all showing up today, and I particularly appreciate the government's representation. But I'm going to put it on the record again, just so there's absolutely no ambiguity...
Judge Sooknanan: And again, I'm not going to force you to respond sooner, but if you need five days, my order is going to stay in place. I have done all I can to try to make a decision based on what's in front of me. The government hasn't put anything in front of me to counter plaintiff's narrative
Judge Sooknanan to Ensign: And even now that the government has appeared, you're telling me that even though you think you have the authority to do this, and that what you're trying to do here is unify families, not violate the law, you need five days to respond.
Judge Sooknanan continues her monologue: And so, absent action and intervention by the court, all of those children would have been returned to Guatemala, potentially to extremely dangerous situations.
Judge Sooknanan: And I tried to reach the government. I have been up since then..and didn't reach anyone from the government until later this morning. And the imminence that the plaintiff claimed proved true, because, in fact, those planes *were* loaded. One actually took off and was returned.
Judge Sooknanan: As I said at the start of this hearing, I got a call at 2:36 am [last night] because the government chose the wee hours of the morning on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend to execute a plan to move these children. That's why we're here.
Actually, he thinks that he is the state, and that everything should be controlled by the state, as long as he's the state.

He was sentenced to 63 months in prison. One of the longer sentences. www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/t...
This is the type of person Trump pardoned. He proudly asserts that they should have injured a US Capitol Police Officer worse than they did on January 6th (@sergeantaqgo.bsky.social) had to medically retire). But MAGA supports law enforcement? Seriously? Then show me by condemning this guy.
Some view it as hyperbole; others don't even know what the words mean. But it's all textbook. Textbook history, textbook political science, textbook psychology, textbook social psychology. Elementary stuff, not obscure. And it's happening in real time, right before our eyes.
One thing that's particularly maddening about what's happening today—beyond that it's happening—is that when people talk about how we are moving toward authoritarianism, toward fascism, by a collection of narcissistic sociopaths, many Americans' eyes glaze over.

And when they say *they* are protecting the country from the people who want to destroy it, they are engaging in pure psychological projection.
They will literally say **ANYTHING**.

That Trump and Trumpism are fascist doesn’t explain the sheer vandalism of unleashing mass murdering mayhem via RFK to replace medical/scientific institutions of immense value and prestige with medieval peasant superstitions. That is a criminal madness facilitated by but above and beyond fascism.
The Justice Department had once argued that Ghislaine Maxwell should be sentenced to at least 30 years in prison. Now its second-ranking official—and Donald Trump’s former lawyer—is aligned with a woman whose crimes the department had called “monstrous.”

It wouldn't be much of a double, then, would it?
One thing about never-Trump Republicans, during Trump II particularly: They understand that the world they knew is dead. They have no investment in either reviving the former GOP (because they understand it's impossible) or maintaining the pre-2016 Democratic Party (because it's not their party).
everyone please say something nice now about JD to cheer him up

Republicans used to be against federal government overreach—but now they're silent as Trump seems to be forming a personal paramilitary force.
Public servants should face the public. So why are federal agents wearing masks to hide their faces? Check out our mobile billboard driving around Washington, D.C. right now demanding federal agents take their masks off!

Joni Ernst saw the writing on the wall. Iowans are fed up with rising costs and unchecked corruption. And next year, we're going to flip this seat.
