Emergency Triad: The Chicago Rubicon and What Comes Next We aren’t at the worst-case scenario yet. But if you squint, you can see it looming out there, just over the horizon.

As alarmed as people may be, they aren't alarmed enough. Trump just escalated this crisis from a fight between the federal government and a state, to a situation where one state is deploying armed forces to impose its will on another state. www.thebulwark.com/p/emergency-...

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

She is obviously out of her depth but figured she’d try out the $kash Patel β€œI-don’t give a fβ€” about-you” demeanor. No doubt Big Daddy liked it.

While Schiff was questioning, she smirked, played with her pens, made sure to show off her tacky big diamond ring and seemed to be cleaning out her purse.

β€œReal” masculinity? Trump is a painted up old man who loves to dance to YMCA and Hegseth a preening peacock whose wife (#3) installed a make up room for him in the Pentagon.

House of South Carolina Judge Criticized by Trump Administration Burns Down State law enforcement said Monday that "at this time, there is no evidence to indicate the fire was intentionally set."

Who torched Judge Diane Goodstein's house in South Carolina, and why? Is this the result of her being targeted by the MAGA horde? We need answers. time.com/7323442/sout...

The CNN anchor did not explain how he verified that it was the president β€” not any of his aides β€” who authored the written responses to his questions.

He also did not explain whether he’d made any effort to speak with the president by phone, something that has become commonplace for reporters covering the second Trump administration because Trump has maintained use of his personal mobile phone since returning to the presidency and frequently uses it to contact reporters directly.

The president’s purported text message exchange with Tapper was also unusual because Trump is not known to be a frequent user of his phone’s text message capacity.

He also famously eschews email and other written forms of communication and during his first term he openly complained when attorneys working for his administration took notes during meetings.

Trump’s unconventional use of text-based communications to purportedly respond to Tapper comes as questions continue to swirl about the state of his health

Jake Tapper did a whole interview with Trump by text message? Which means he can't actually confirm it was him. And now everyone's asking even more than before very reasonable questions about the wannabe dictator's health.

MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell goes after CNN anchor Jake Tapper over "text interview" with "Donald Trump" - "If Joe Biden had used the words total obliteration, that same interviewer would have pointed at it as proof of mental incapacity to do the job of President."

Every day I’ve been getting angrier when I think about how maga, the so called alpha male bros, always punch down at people who are less fortunate or struggling.

This isn’t manliness. It’s cowardly, it’s shameful, and it makes you look like a tiny little douche face
