Wait, hang on - Bolsonaro was convicted of attempting a coup in Brazil...? You can do that?

Has the State Department ever warned a group of people not to mock something? I don’t mean telling State Department employees to be diplomatic, I mean threatening nonemployees with state punishment if they make jokes, bad taste or otherwise.

How the House could force Epstein files vote— even if no more Republicans sign on A series of special elections might give the discharge petition enough votes in the House. The Senate is another question

NEW from me: Trump and Mike Johnson have all but blocked the release of the full Epstein files. But Massie and Khanna might not even need any more Republican votes. If Democrats hold their seat in #AZ07 and Grijalva signs, it will have a vote.

Trump continues to give Russia break after break and benefit of the doubt. This will encourage Russia to further escalate, knowing the US won’t step up and respond. “I’m not happy about anything having to do with that whole situation. But hopefully it’s going to come to an end.”

This is not only a tell about his current politics, it’s a tell about how ignorant about race he is in general. What was the “1900 white population” exactly?

Just 10 years ago if the President signed an executive order, Republicans would scream that he is a dictator. Really.
