So apparently this is fine but Canadian governments using advertising to share views with Americans about trade is completely inappropriate.

Got it.

Just so we’re clear, swastikas and nooses are not β€œpotentially divisive.” They’re hate symbols. We’ve literally fought wars over this.

Reality check for Trump: if someone mistakes your pride and joy gold molding for the plastic trim in Home Depot’s bargain aisle, you did not land the luxury look you think you did.

Trump just looks like he’s spiraling at this point.

Count the ways they’re corrupting DOJ: Presidents don’t direct AG’s to open criminal cases, especially ones designating only Dems for investigation when POTUS himself is involved. DOJ doesn’t publicize criminal investigations & the AG definitely doesn’t assign them on Twitter.

Oh my. DOJ doesn't want to be responsible for Trump's illegal boat bombings.

"The Justice Department authored a secret memo saying it is relying on Trump's own words to justify the lethal boat strikes that have been carried out in international waters."

And now this. A clear violation of free speech.

Jay Bhattacharya likes to talk about censorship, but he doesn’t actually care about censorship or free speech: he just wants to weaponize those principles to censor others. Like @jenna-m-norton.bsky.social

After calling Schumer a "Palestinian," Leavitt refers to "Gavin Newscum." So she's just ripping off her boss's smears now.

Memo Blessing Boat Strikes Is Said to Rely on Trump’s Claims About Cartels

The author(s) of this memo will come out and they should be shunned the rest of their careers in the law. (Seeing as how John Yoo is a law professor, I’m not getting my hopes up)

The first and last lines of Joni Ernst’s legacy as a human on earth will be that she was instrumental in the confirmation of the Sec of Defense most hostile to women serving in military, and she knew that when she voted for him.

Trump is lobbying Lauren Boebert to remove her name from the Epstein files discharge petition.

Here are some of Boebert’s past tweets about the Epstein files:

The fact that Trump is calling Mace and Boebert today pleading with them to remove their names from the Epstein petition at the last minute tells you everything you need to know about how incriminating the info in the files is to him and his cronies.

My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time.
No more hiding behind election terms.
