Anne Applebaum on Trump's betrayal of Europe "They’re bewildered we’ve allowed this to happen."

"The American media makes things that are abnormal seem normal. The European press doesn’t do that. So you’ll see when they report on Trump’s rambling Davos speech, they will say it made no sense. In the US press, you’ll just see excerpts and an attempt to sanitize it." — @anneapplebaum.bsky.social

THE EPSTEIN CLASS

The Real Story Behind the Midnight Immigration Raid on a Chicago Apartment Building The Trump administration has claimed the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua had taken over the building. But new documents make no mention of the gang and reveal federal agents had information about “ille...

Remember that midnight raid in Chicago supposedly to arrest Tren del Aragua members? Newly revealed court docs show that the raid was facilitated by the building owners who are now accused of using the raid to evict tenants. DHS never mentions TDA in their filings: www.propublica.org/article/chic...

NSA detected phone call between foreign intelligence and a person close to Trump Whistleblower says that Tulsi Gabbard blocked agency from sharing report and delivered it to White House chief of staff

Is anybody ever gonna take a step back and realize the "Russia Russia Russia" people — derided as lunatic wine moms — were actually underplaying the foreign influence stuff, and the loud people who kept insisting it was all fake are now saying Jeffrey Epstein was kind of a cool guy?

A massive scandal.

Kash Patel and Pam Bondi refusing to investigate the murders of American citizens to cover up Trump administration culpability.

“If Republicans want to set a precedent where former presidents and their family members who have some involvement with Jeffrey Epstein have to come before Congress and can't defy any subpoenas to do so, then I'm fully in support of that precedent.”

DISTURBING: Texas has created an “Inspector General for Educator Misconduct" so educators can be permanently blacklisted from the profession for lacking “good moral character."

Revealed: How Substack makes money from hosting Nazi newsletters

To be fair, if you had the opportunity to spit in Vance's food, wouldn't you take it?

on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

Yes, Lutnick procured the children:

BREAKING: Epstein emails detail ties to Bard president, in-person visits Bard College President Leon Botstein’s name appears in the Epstein files more than 2,500 times, including arranging travel to Epstein’s island and hosting a visit with “girls” on campus…

As a Bard student parent, I demand Leon Botstein’s immediate removal.

I hope Dems begin to see that moderate or progressive, AIPAC is not our friend.

They endorse January 6th insurrectionists. Yet if you so much as suggest the US uphold its own Leahy laws, no matter your record, they will work against you.

Border Patrol boss Gregory Bovino tossed from Las Vegas bar Former U.S. Border Patrol Commander-at-Large Gregory Bovino was reportedly asked to leave a Las Vegas bar out of safety concerns for the venue’s customers.

This is extremely offensive and inappropriate. I don’t care how popular it is in bars, dwarf-tossing is degrading and NOT OKAY.

I'm fully on board with creating a special Trump Federal Prison in DC for his administration, cronies, and family. Once a year, we require every sitting member of congress to walk through to remind them what can happen.

Houston man pardoned by Trump arrested on child sex charge - The Texas Tribune Andrew Taake received a six-year sentence for assaulting officers on Jan. 6. He was arrested Thursday on an outstanding charge of soliciting a minor.

I don’t think Vance is a true believer and so I believe there’s a place inside him left that still feels this shame and hurt.

That some part of him knows that he sold every last inch of his soul he could sell. That he crossed every line of decency and dignity in hope of reward.

And this is reward.

Because selling hate and fear to disproportionately (but far from exclusively!) older, white, conservative men is an evergreen, profitable hustle, with inelastic demand.

So, she's passed the "must be 35" age requirement. Just sayin'

It Turns Out Waymos Are Being Controlled by Workers in the Philippines During a Congressional hearing, Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, was grilled over the company's reliance on overseas workers.

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

If you won’t say this, you should not hold public office

Well, one thing's for sure... it's Kristi Noem's agency.

Resident Jon Mannella challenged the lie that immigration agents target the “worst of the worse” and questioned why DHS and the City of Surprise would place them next to multiple schools if this smear was true. “I imagine if this was a homeless shelter or a mental health center, you would find a way to stop it. You would pull out all the stops. You would pull out the tomes of English common law, dust them off, and try to find some appendix in there to make sure you didn’t have to build this building. Well just pretend that it’s that and put a stop to it.”
