Nicholas GrossmanTrump’s crazy speech at the UN exemplified his administration’s approach to the world.
The lies, insults, and threats are not some negotiating tactic, it’s how America operates now: lawless and anti-cooperation instead of leading.

Karl BodeThe New York Times does a 24 paragraph story on Larry Ellison buying up new and old media properties and doesn't so much as HINT, anywhere, at the obvious goal of leveraging this properties to conduct right wing information warfare, or that this kind of consolidation is bad for the public

That can only mean one thing: Disney execs ran the cost of a the lawsuit and boycotts through their accountants. The only magic Disney believes in is the magic of $.

BrianKrebsAll the feckless scheming by the Democrats isn't going to unseat the Orange Tyrant in the White House. It's going to take mass public demonstrations, extended work stoppages/strikes, govt shutdowns, and sustained and viral boycotts of companies that bent the knee for profit or because they have spineless leaders.
Not saying it's going to be easy, but violent resistance is not the answer, as the Cheetoh-in-Chief would like nothing more than that. Nonviolent resistance works, and has a long history of unseating despotic leaders.
From today's NYT:
"President Trump demanded on Saturday that his attorney general move quickly to prosecute figures he considers his enemies, the latest blow to the Justice Department’s tradition of independence."
“We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility,” Mr. Trump wrote in a social media post addressed to “Pam,” meaning Attorney General Pam Bondi. “They impeached me twice, and indicted me (5 times!), OVER NOTHING. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!”
Mr. Trump named James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director; Senator Adam B. Schiff, Democrat of California; and Letitia James, the New York attorney general, saying he was reading about how they were “all guilty as hell, but nothing is going to be done.”
"Asked later by reporters about his message for Ms. Bondi, Mr. Trump said, “They have to act. They have to act fast.”

emptywheelA few Qs in this week's Kash hearings that ring differently know that we know Tom Homan took a bribe.
1) Kash was asked how many people triggered CI concerns in background checks. Homan investigation was a CI investigation.
2) Kash was asked WHY background checks were halted until he was confirmed.
Karen Attiah According to WaPo’s termination letter my post referencing Kirk’s views on Black women was not even brought up.
The Post’s stated reasons are *worse*.
Read the termination letter for yourself.

Augie Ray#Twitter/#X is just a completely authentic place full of real lifelong Democrats who suddenly realized Charlie Kirk was right, decided to cross the aisle and register as Republicans, and posted so in identical tweets. These are absolutely not foreign bots trying to influence US politics or increase partisan divides in our nation.
