“It was frightening”: Federal judges speak out on vicious threats from MAGA fans From "pizza doxing" to explicit threats of murder — judges say Trump's "inflammatory rhetoric" endangers them

How do we protect democracy without becoming them? You're not allowed to challenge authority? How do we prevent MAGA without undermining democracy? "... disagree with what you say, but defend your right to say it"

Trump expresses doubts Putin is willing to end the Ukraine war, after saying a deal was close.

More Trump self-aggrandizing lies, and the obvious fact that Putin's negotiation requirement amounts to the surrender by Ukraine. Zelensky has been saying this all along.

He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.”

Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up.

Marriott still has my business.

Folks need to pause and put themselves in García’s shoes.

He fled El Salvador at 16—running from gangs, scared for his life. He didn’t risk it all just to join one of the most notorious gangs here.

Bukele cracked down—but as one local said: “We used to fear the gangs—now we fear the government.”
