You gotta hand it to him. Trump has really stepped it up in his second term. Murder AND war crimes? It’s gonna be one hell of an encore.

They bombed without warning a non-threatening small boat, which is insane and a violation of international law even if it was carrying contraband which we have no way of knowing, and then gleefully shared it as a snuff video.

I’m partly envious, if I’m being honest. But, yeah, lots of reports of the White House being a drug house that first go around. Everyone was using. Gotta imagine it’s much worse now that there are no adults anywhere.

The media's basic assumption that crimes only count if they happen in secret has been Trump's saving grace throughout his two terms. He keeps blabbing about them -- here, he's posting a video of a targeted assassination of civilians -- but because he's so brazen they assume it's no big deal.

The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.

I'm aware that the President likes to go on television and beg me to call him to ask for troops. I find it strange, as Chicago doesn't want troops. I also have experience asking him for assistance – just to have the rug pulled up from underneath me when execution meets reality.
