Tell me again how this administration is punishing schools for not stopping antisemitism... all while they seem to keep hiring out and out neo-Nazis.

it is like central casting with these guys lol

im 100% convinced that chatbot ai's could actually take over ceo jobs right now

The whole confederacy is getting in on it.

So the US president is talking with our European allies and Trump stepped out to check in with Putin, presumably about what was okay with him.

Let's! Check! The! GLASSDOOR!

The Vice President Who Can’t Stop Taking Vacations 8 trips in 7 months – what could possibly go wrong for JD Vance, the tone-deaf veep who wants to succeed Trump in 3 years?

"The Vice President Who Can’t Stop Taking Vacations"

Zeteo breaks down the controversies surrounding Vance's 8 trips in 7 months – what could possibly go wrong for the tone-deaf, holidaying veep who wants to succeed Trump in 3 years?

Yep, on Trump's threat to end mail voting, people are getting lost in the weeds, arguing he can't succeed. But the larger intent is the thing to watch: He's going to abuse presidential power in every way he possibly can to rig the midterms, and pull pretexts out of his ass to do so all the way.

It sounds conspiratorial to suggest that Vladimir Putin told Donald Trump behind closed doors to launch an assault on mail-in voting in elections administered by the states, and Trump immediately set about mobilizing federal power to do it… but that is literally Trump’s account of what happened.

The media lost its MIND when Obama tried to make some small changes to the press pool system. Now Trump is quite openly rendering it into a North Korea-esque state-media system and ... has a single journalist or outlet stood up to protest?

it is incredible to see the extent to which the Sensible Centrists are simply incapable of grasping the very simple and obvious fact that the president's concern with crime is a pretext, and that to deny claims of a sudden epidemic in crime is not to say that crime is nonexistent.

🧵"Increasingly, mainstream Israeli media have spotlighted the dire starvation crisis in Gaza after months of Israel’s near-total aid blockade on the besieged enclave, horrifying some Israelis and triggering protests."

I’m stunned by how these Trump actions are devastating whatever societal legitimacy so much of federal law enforcement ever had; these agencies are now pariahs in much of America. That should worry agency leaders more than it evidently is.

More people in Ohio need protection from violent crime than there are people in D.C. Governors of three states — Ohio, South Carolina and West Virginia — are sending members of their state National Guards to D.C. to … well, theoretically to combat crime but, if the past week is any in...

Late last night I mapped crime rates for cities in OH, SC and WV to show how often they exceeded the rate in DC — where those states’ governors are sending National Guard troops to “combat crime.” www.pbump.net/o/more-peopl...

madness, no coming back from this without repercussions for the entire chain of command

These are the kids whose medical treatment in the US Loomer objects to:
"Leyan is a 14-year-old who was burned and injured by shrapnel in an explosion at her school. Ghazal, 6, was also hurt in an explosion. Another child, 8-year-old Anas, was hurt in an explosion that killed his entire family."

once again you think the president's mistress directing impossibly cruel policy would be a bigger story but it does not get much play outside of overtly liberal outlets

Israeli government official arrested in Nevada in internet crimes against children sting Tom Artiom Alexandrovich was released and returned to Israel after being charged with luring a child for a sex act

The executive director of the Israel Cyber Directorate—an Israeli agency under the purview of prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu—was arrested in Las Vegas for luring a child with a computer for a sex act.

He was released and returned to Israel shortly thereafter.

So both Putin and Trump went to an AF Base in Alaska. Each had a set of demands. Trump accepted all of Putin's demands and then said he would convince Ukraine and Europe to accept them. And both then went home. Do I have this right?

A reminder why Melania is sending C&Ds to everyone who repeats Wolff’s claim but not Wolff himself.

A tweet linking a video from Michael Wolff, describing: Michael Wolff: “A new book was published yesterday called Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York. It contains a passage in which Epstein is quoted where he says that he had sex with Melania a full year before Donald Trump commenced his relationship with Melania.”

I don't think this, from Xitter, has made it over here:

Jobs data are fake. Climate data is fake. Crime stats are fake. Objective measurements of reality has a well-known liberal bias.

It's pleasant when someone pivots from attacking you personally to unequivocally revealing themselves to be an idiot.

how bad must it have been if this is Fox's take?

Fox: I think we're all waiting for the read out because the way it felt in the room was not good. It seemed like Putin came in and steamrolled, got his photo with Trump and left

Every single journalist who watched this needs to understand that EVERY TIME Trump has survived political death has relied on Russian disinformation.

Former Trump National Security Advisor: These are very sensitive stealth aircraft. Everybody on the Russian party is a suspected spy. This whole base is now is now available to them, at least to some extent. I don't think it should have been held on the base
