How Trump's campaign of hatred against migrant "invaders" is fueling potential violence "There's nothing normal about any of this."

Reminder: Six years ago today, a gunman motivated by hatred of immigrants carried out a horrific massacre in Texas. The demagoguery and ideology he cited had been pushed heavily by Donald Trump. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

A Fight Over a West Point Job Reveals Two Visions of America Under Trump

A sad story that reflects how crazy AND autocratic the Trump administration is. Top military officials are bending the knee to Laura Loomer. No guts and no glory.

A businessman should know this is impossible in the real world. A 100 percent cut would make an item free. You can’t cut more than that.

Maybe Summers read the new issue of my OUR LAND newsletter on "Donald Trump and the Deconstruction of America," which notes all the daily outrages from Trump distract from the grand master plan of MAGA to transform American society. The big-picture story of Trumpism isn't being told. Check it out.

Thank you, Trump voters. America's standing in the world is influenced by the overseas nationals who flock to the US for its education system and then either return home or remain here to contribute to US society.

Poor babies. After yanking health insurance and food assistance from millions of Americans, GOP senators are just so tired and need a month off. Oh, they work so hard!

NEW: Trump hurls a dizzying array of outrages at us. But they're each part of an overarching plan: the deconstruction of American society. In my OUR LAND newsletter, I note how this big picture is not being fully conveyed by the media & Trump's political foes.

Virginia Giuffre’s family hits Trump: 'She’s not an object, she’s a person' Virginia Giuffre’s family speaks out after Trump admits Epstein β€œtook” young women from Mar-a-Lago. MSNBC legal analysts Mary McCord and David Corn join The Weeknight with their reaction.

On MSNBC, we discussed latest developments in the Epstein scandal, and I explained how MAGA turned the Epstein files into the Holy Grail that could supposedly prove a satanic cabal of pedophiles and sex traffickers--including Democrats, celebrities, and elites--were running the world.

Brazil's Justice Moraes ignores US sanctions, says he will continue doing his job Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who is overseeing a criminal case against an ally of President Donald Trump, told a court session on Friday that he will continue to do his job and "ignore the sanctions" imposed by the United States that effectively block him from the country's wide-reaching financial system.

The Brazilian Supreme Court is fearless in the face of sanctions -and will ensure that the trial of Bolsonaro stays on track. Trump is once again attempting to obstruct justice when it comes to holding former presidents accountable. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Deploying nuclear weapons closer to Russia in response to the rhetoric of a former Russian president is insanely foolish. This is a needless escalation--and a reminder that the world is imperiled when an impulsive narcissist is in charge of the US nuclear arsenal.

Bribe Trump by contributing to his library?

Bribe Trump by contributing to his big ballroom?

Bribe Trump by buying his crypto?

So many choices. How do you decide?

How a Nazi-obsessed amateur historian went from obscurity to the top of Substack Tucker Carlson has called Darryl Cooper the β€œmost important popular historian working in the United States today.” His background is more extreme than previously reported.

Historian Darryl Cooper has become famousβ€”platformed by Carlson & Roganβ€”w/ his WWII revisionism. But his past is more extreme than reported. A username associated w/ him once wrote on a white nationalist site on how to get people "onboard" & "reading Mein Kampf."
