In The Upside-down MAGA world, *treated* psychiatric problems are the ones that lead to violence. 😒

In RFK Jr and Trump’s upside down world, people being medicated for psychiatric problems is the root of violence, not, as logic would dictate, the other way around.

It's good to see WaPo tackling the tough, important stories in these difficult times. #sarcasm #alreadycancelledmysubscription

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

In Breaking USAID, the Trump Administration May Have Broken the Law ProPublica’s reporting provides new details about what legal risk officials were prepared to take and what laws they may have violated on their way to creating a “constitutional crisis.”

What happened to USAID foments a constitutional crisis the likes of which most Americans haven't seen in their lifetimes.

You can't just eliminate it. When/if courts say so, will Trump/Musk defer? Courts don't have armies.

I’m a distant third to you, Donald Moynihan, and Elon Green, but my guy was active in London in the 1888.

Trump falsely links New Orleans terror attack to migrants after erroneous Fox News report | CNN Business An erroneous early Fox News report about the New Orleans terror attack is warping the political dialogue in the aftermath of the deadly rampage.

Within 24 hours of the Bourbon Street terror attack, reporters pieced together a pretty complete picture of the suspect. But a key early bit of misreporting confused the public — and the president-elect — and now it's warping the political dialogue. I wrote about it here: www.cnn.com/2025/01/02/m...

When I was a lawyer in the White House, I can’t stress enough how much we all cared about following the rules - the black letter law and the informal limits of tradition, morality and shame.

You really can’t fathom yet what it will mean for the most powerful actors to care about none of that.

Biden doesn’t control Jack Smith, or Merrick Garland, for that matter. Sadly, Trump will control his AG. That may be why Biden pardoned Hunter — so Trump’s AG can’t railroad him.

"The menace of Adolf Hitler has been greatly exaggerated.... There is an innocence almost childish about the detailed fashion un which he sets out to be blood-curdling."
