The Border Patrol and ICE will lie about you in court proceedings so they can make their sick quotas. Then they’ll claim it as “evidence” to try and deport you.

Pray for Donald Trump!

@Ladybelle It is, Isabella. I and Mr. Kitty thank you.
Trump couldn’t do it. He couldn’t obey a simple gag order not to continue to threaten court staff. Judge Engoron was furious at Trump for doxxing a court clerk of his, and he ordered Trump to take down the post and stop the harassing. But Trump left the post up on a campaign website, and now the judge is rightfully furious. The campaign calls it an “oversight” but it sure feels like a direct violation of the order. Sanctions are likely, stay tuned…

"Not the odds, but the stakes."

That's my shorthand for the organizing principle we most need in 2024 election coverage. Not who has what chances of winning, but the consequences for our democracy— given what's possible in this election. Not the odds, but the stakes.

Here is an example of stakes commentary. Its analysis is both plausible and terrifying.

People Aren’t Facing Up to the Horrors a New Trump Term Would Bring

G’bye, NATO. G’bye, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” repeal. G’bye, democracy. He’s telling us plain as day. Why aren’t people listening?
