YouTube video by Washington Post Trump suggests the death penalty for drug dealers

doing some research for the newsletter, came across this video from 2018 and it's honestly amazing how much better Trump looked and sounded 7 years ago

this shit is just beyond parody, man

It happened again: The Trump administration has admitted illegally deporting a man to Guatemala despite an immigration judge's order that he was likely to be tortured there.

A judge has ordered the administration to facilitate his return by next week.storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

A war criminal without a war It's just murder.

New in PN: A war criminal without a war

"We’re watching the flimsy justifications fall apart in real time. They can try to shift the blame. They can try to say that people clinging to wreckage for dear life are somehow an active threat. But in the end, it’s just murder."

Russia ‘ready’ for war with Europe, Putin says as peace talks with US begin Russian president accuses European powers of preventing peace in Ukraine as he meets with Witkoff and Kushner

Key quote from Putin: “Europe is preventing the US administration from achieving peace in Ukraine. Russia does not intend to fight Europe, but if Europe starts, we are ready right now.”

No pay wall.

When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

Republicans had a very bad day yesterday:
-Trump fell asleep during his cabinet meeting.
-Republicans continue to lose critical cases in court.
-They vastly underperformed in a Tennessee congressional special election.

They are panicking and will become much worse. Pay attention.

Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?

TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.

Robert Reich A Warning from 1994 of a Two-Tiered Society | Robert Reich

31 years ago this month, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated.

I took a lot of heat for this speech. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.

Someone (almost certainly multiple people) in the US Navy's chain-of-command clearly committed murder as defined by both international law and US military code. Was it Trump? Was it Hegseth? Admiral Frank Bradley? Subordinates? Do not let this go.

To recap—Trump pardoned Juan Orlando Hernández, who was convicted of receiving millions in bribes & partnering with cocaine traffickers to flood American streets with drugs, but to protect American streets from being flooded with drugs, he has to mass murder innocent fisherman with impunity.

Got it

Well done! You're doing great. Have a happy day 😊

CNN: What if there are more names connected to the Democratic Party that come out in the files?

CHRIS MURPHY: So what?

What the hell: The US accidentally invaded Mexico on Monday, storming a beach and planting DoD “restricted area” signs claiming the land for “the commander,” and triggered a standoff with armed Mexican security forces, all because Trump’s government can’t even identify a border on a map. 🧵 1/

Crow: "It just tells us everything that we need to know that reminding people to obey the law, reminding people to obey the Constitution, is somehow criminal in Trumpworld and should be responded to with death threats. It's very, very telling."

President Zelenskyy came to the White House, looking for help from his longstanding ally.

He was ambushed, humiliated and berated for not being grateful enough.

Prince Bone Saw bin 9/11 came to the White House, for the first time since he ordered the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

He was revered.
