Darrel With One L

This may be Trump's perfect social media post. A true work of art. He confirms:

✅He personally directs criminal investigations.
✅He is targeting opponents.
✅Epstein "records" exist and he knows the contents.

Bonus points for connecting it to investigation of his fondness for Putin.👀

The new Archbishop of Canterbury is a Dame. Literally. So excited for this continuing revelation of love in the world.

No.

What we need to agree on is that easy access to deadly modern rifles is not reasonable, not required by the 18th century constitution, and certainly not worth thousands of sensless deaths each year.

Political violence is a real problem.

Apparently Andy Pages can play baseball.

That took me a minute.

Please tell me it comes with a small pack of sunflower seeds.

It would explain a lot of the last 10 years if P#tin knew what was in the Epstein files.

The Big Beautiful Bullshit is probably going to pass this morning, but at least we didn't make it easy for them.

Expect a lot of symbolic nonsense and expensive pet project failures followed by budgetary disaster. I've seen this movie.

Sure that's interesting but he's 33 and it is challenging to imagine he is prepared for the job.

It was like a little kid!

I struggle to think of a US ally just bombing a country without consulting us. We are that weak with Trump.

That is perhaps why it is such a gutpunch to those of us for whom 1989 was a formative experience. We cannot believe so many people around the world are just giving up on liberty.

L.A. Protests Prompt Calls for Police Restraint After Journalist Injuries

Amazing how hard it is to write: “Police shoot at journalists.”

LA 2025.

The thing about demons is that they turn on each other.

After MAGA, we can't just restore the old constitutional order. We need will need a new birth of freedom.
