What a piece of shit that guy is

The worst single-day crime spree in modern Washington history, of course, took place on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump issued no order to the National Guard to intervene -- Mike Pence did -- and later pardoned the perpetrators.

But the most alarming development is Trump's insinuation that this could be a kind of test run for similar action in other U.S. cities, including Chicago and L.A.

Threatening to send troops into American citiesโ€”simply because you donโ€™t agree with how they're runโ€”is a dangerous abuse of power. (4/4)

If sane people ever get back in power- toward the top of a very long first 100 days agenda. That and expanding the court

He is itching to impose martial law. These are test cases as to whether or not we will really resist

Sadly, instead of working with city officials on real solutions, Republicans played politicsโ€”using the last continuing resolution to undermine D.C.โ€™s authority and slash its budget by $1 billion.

The Senate has since passed a bill to restore funding, but Speaker Johnson has yet to take it up. (3/4)

"If President Trump really cared about safety in D.C., he would have immediately deployed the National Guard on January 6, 2021, and wouldnโ€™t have pardoned hundreds of rioters who broke into the Capitol that day, including individuals convicted of assaulting police officers. Crime is at a 30-year low in D.C., making these steps a waste of taxpayer dollars and an unnecessary escalation clearly designed to distract Americans from issues like rising prices and incompetence from the Trump Administration."

Trumpโ€™s authoritarian power grab in DC isnโ€™t about crime โ€” itโ€™s about control.

Trump deploying National Guardsmen in DC exposes one of his big lies about January 6th.

Kash Patel falsely claimed for years that the Democrats failed to take Trump up on his offer to deploy the Guard on Jan. 6.

But Trump could have deployed the DC Guard himself and didnโ€™t. Now he does.

The killings of Anas al-Sharif, Mohammed Qreiqeh, Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal and Moamen Aliwa by the IDF is a war crime. They are civilians. The IDF must provide evidence of the terrorist claims, and explain why an entire tent was targeted when they would know other civilians would be present.

Hereโ€™s the latest.

Citing a nonexistent crime crisis, Trump plans to take over the Washington DC police and put troops in the streets of the nation's capital. Contrary to his claims, violent crime in DC is at a 30-year low. @katierogersnyt.bsky.social Campbell Robertson Chris Cameron www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell theyโ€™ll say itโ€™s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think itโ€™s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like โ€œoh they took the idiot train to moronsvilleโ€

Why a NASA satellite that scientists and farmers rely on may be destroyed on purpose The Trump administration has asked NASA staffers to draw up plans to end at least two satellite missions that measure carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, according to current and former NASA employees.

Caroline Kennedy went on national television to warn America about her cousin...she called him a "predator." Always a private person, her speaking out was a significant step into the public eye for her. RFK, Jr.'s siblings did the same.
