Oh good, at least someone isn’t ignoring that this happened — as the Sunday shows and press corps say nothing.

Felt like we were losing our minds.

Student loan delinquency has hit its highest rate in 21 years, as more Americans struggle to stay afloat. But this crisis didn’t happen by accident — it’s roots reveal a system designed to keep certain people out.

BANNON on Trump’s D.C. takeover: “I hope this is a template for Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York.” 🤔

(Reminder: This is an authoritarian power grab to distract from his Epstein cover-up)

We don’t have to turn them all, just enough to take our country back.

Really? I didn't hear anything legitimate. I heard a woman careening as if we had been guzzling too many cartons of wine again. DC, by the way, has one of the highest incarceration rates for youthful offenders in the developed world—the opposite of what Pirro said.

D.C. is not a dangerous city.

Nor is L.A.

The only danger is the Trump regime and its secret police force—ICE.

They are committing crimes.
They are terrorizing communities.
They are tearing families apart.
They are kidnapping people.

They are the problem.

And we the people are done with them.

Speaking as a DC resident: statehood now. It is absurd that Trump can do this in our city.

Democrats with an eye on 2028 reject some parts of liberal orthodoxy Some presidential prospects have embraced “Sister Souljah moments” that demonstrate their independence from left-wing orthodoxy.

This entire article gleefully and breathlessly describing how Dems are “finally starting to get the message” that they need to court the right and abandon liberal values in order to win. It’s positioning Newsom, Shapiro, and Emanuel as brilliant heroes who will save the party.

I missed the part where blowing hundreds of millions in taxpayer money on gaudy, unnecessary White House upgrades counts as “cutting waste, fraud, and abuse.” Or did we just drop that whole narrative?

Trump seems to be using "invasion" agitprop to recreate the national trauma that reigned after 9/11, to hyper-militarize the homeland.

As one scholar tells me, this "could create a kind of domestic ‘Forever War,’ but one that is uniquely dangerous."

Strikingly, the memo says straightforwardly that what happened in Los Angeles is the sort of operation that may be necessary "for years to come."

As one expert told me: "They see Los Angeles as a model to be replicated."

The DHS memo lays out the agenda for a July 21 meeting among top level officials from DHS and Defense Department. It was authored by Philip Hegseth (yes, he's Pete Hegseth's brother), a top adviser to DHS Sec Kristi Noem and liason to the Pentagon.

This person is a fascist. This shouldn’t be news, but it is convenient to have it all in one place. The hatred is coming from him, and it’s the stuff that underwrites reactionary violence against people whom he does not see as people but enemies to be subjugated and if necessary eliminated.

She’s another by-product of exploiting children on reality TV, incapable of validating herself internally, so is constantly trying to take direction from others about who she should be.

And I hope Kim Carnes haunts her for the rest of her life.
