Trumpeters are full of contempt for the American people and its institutions. They call having respect "being woke".

This is what frustrates me. There is a lengthy record in courts all over the country of the Trump DOJ lying to the courts. Why does any judge give them the benefit of the doubt? When will we see lasting consequences for the liars? Serious questions.

Seems relevant to me that the new White House press secretary, who supposed to convey accurate information, believes that elites in the Democratic Party and Hollywood are sexually trafficking kids and eating people. 24 hours later, it hasn’t made it into mainstream coverage of Zacharia.

On publicly funded ads, Team Trump reportedly blew past court deadline

A federal judge told the White House to stop airing the ads by Sunday night. So why did they continue on Monday morning?

A new statement from @maketheroadny.bsky.social says that Oscar Belgal, the man immigration agents shot in NYC last week, hasn't eaten since Thursday and still has the bullet in his neck. He urgently needs surgery, but instead, the government has him locked up in solitary.

New York, NY –– The Legal Aid Society and Make the Road New York, counsel for Oscar Belgal, issued the following joint statement in response to the deplorable conditions Mr. Belgal has endured while detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, including solitary confinement, lack of access to food, and inadequate medical care despite a bullet remaining lodged in his neck and his urgent need for surgery:

“Since Mr. Belgal was shot in the neck by ICE agents on Thursday, with his five-year-old child in the car, he has endured horrific conditions at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, a facility federal judges have described as ‘barbaric’ and ‘inhumane,’ where officers have been characterized as ‘contemptuous of human life and dignity. All the while, a bullet remains lodged in his neck.

“Mr. Belgal is living through an unimaginable nightmare. While he is currently in solitary confinement, a bullet remains lodged in his neck, the left side of his face is numb, and he can barely hear out of his left ear. Doctors have told him he urgently needs surgery, but that the procedure was too dangerous to perform Thursday evening without a specialized surgeon present. Although he was instructed to return to the hospital this week, he has been left in the dark about whether that surgery will even happen. He is also suffering from a shoulder wound caused by shattered glass during the incident.

“Rather than receiving the urgent medical attention, care, and compassion he desperately needs, Mr. Belgal reports being confined to a solitary cell, where he is forced to relive the terrifying moments of being shot. He says he has not eaten a single meal since Thursday and has been told that the only water available to him comes from a bathroom sink.

“The deliberate indifference Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents showed toward Mr. Belgal when he was shot on Thursday, and the treatment he has endured in detention since, are further examples of the cruelty and disregard for basic human dignity that have long defined this agency. We will continue to fight for Mr. Belgal’s immediate release from detention and to ensure that he receives the medical care, due process, and basic human dignity to which he is entitled under the law.”

for as long as i've been alive, republicans have ran the same playbook: a few weeks before voting begins, they roll out completely fabricated smear campaigns. these things are always coordinated, so the talking points take over the news. the party is never electorally punished for their dishonesty.

It's criminal. Who's going to prosecute? Especially after Trump issues a pardon while leaving office. His pardon power is "absolute". What's incontrovertible: this Supreme Court is an absolute disgrace.

Trump has no support to speak of among Democrats and Independents, and now his support among self-identifying Republicans is eroding swiftly. “Less than 70% of registered voters who backed Trump in 2024 now approve of his performance, down from 80% in May, when the FT first began polling voters.”

The WHO misled the crisis from the beginning, refusing even to acknowledge it as a pandemic. It seemed they were waiting for Antarctica to be hit, but then they finally called it many weeks after it was obvious, in March, 2020.

“What do you see as his impeachable offenses” might be the most democracy-damaging question I’ve heard a journalist ask. Just total normalization of Trump’s batshittery. “Oh wow, you think he should be impeached! How novel!” Trump hasn’t done a single thing in office that isn’t impeachable.
