It's something to see the Quad God Ilia Malinin skate in person. Really a new type of athlete, I think, and just now becoming all he will be. #milan #Olympics. My piece out today in @theatlantic.com. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Part 2. One for all and all for one. Every member of the White House press corps should stand never again stay silent when Trump calls one of their colleagues Piggy or tells another that she is insubordinate for asking a question.

Part 1. One for all and all for one. The hundreds if not thousands of retired military officers who know Sen. Mark Kelly was right should issue a joint statement saying exactly what he said and challenge Hegseth to court msrtial them all.

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

Terrific reporting.

This.

Attempting to rig elections on his behalf.

Turning the military on citizens.

Toying with the idea of declaring martial law.

Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime.

If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

I think this essay by David French is the most powerful and important column in the NYT this morning.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.

But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.

He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

MAGA are mad at Zelenskyy for not wearing a suit for an official White House meeting.

Meanwhile:

Proud of the AP for not genuflecting. All self-respecting newspapers and media outlets that believe in the first amendment should stand in solidarity & refuse to enter the WH or fly on AF1.

Is this a coup? Home of the Coup-o-meter Prevention is the best medicine: Get background on coups, how they happen in a democracy, and what we can do to stop one.

One of the most important websites in America right now.

Trump enflames his violent mob against Anthony Fauci (a saint, BTW) and then removes his protective detail. Of course he’ll be responsible if anything happens to Fauci. Oh, but then he has immunity. Never ever imagined the US would look like this. Hatred and racism are national policy.
