Look, I’m sorry but I just can’t believe the Knicks came all the way back. And I bet a lot of my fellow basketball fans feel similarly. This calls into question the legitimacy of their Game Four win.

Reporter: but what evidence is there to prove that Mike Johnson is the ringleader of a global ring of conspiratorially pedophiles? Me: look, some of these efforts are so diabolical and so far upstream it’s impossible to prove but I think everyone knows instinctively that something is wrong here.

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

This isn't losing Fox News. Notice how the criticism is about tactics, not principle. Hume's objection is like a sports fan critiquing a coaching call because he thinks it didn't help the team win. A principled one would go "this highlights Trump's awful character and unfitness to lead the nation."

Mick Foley has parted ways from the WWE because of their close ties with Trump.
Mick foley While I have been concerned about WWE's close relationship with Donald Trump for several months
— especially in light of his administration's ongoing cruel and inhumane treatment of immigrants (and pretty much anyone who "looks like an immigrant") — reading the President's incredibly cruel comments in the wake of Rob Reiner's death is the final straw for me.
I no longer wish to represent a company that coddles a man so seemingly void of compassion as he marches our country towards autocracy.
Last night, I informed @WWE talent relations that I would not be making any appearances for the company as long as this man remains in office.
Additionally, I will not be signing a new Legends deal when my current one expires in June. I love WWE, will always treasure my time with them, and I am deeply appreciative for all the opportunities they afforded me. But, in the words of Popeye the sailor, "I stands all I can stands, and I can't stands no more."

THIS.
The hardest part about the past decade for me has been realizing just how many people will simply never care. Your neighbors could get hauled away and you’d just shrug and carry on. We’re on a razor thin edge right now, soldiers are patrolling our streets, every speech is a declaration of war against our own citizens, and as long as nothing changes for you in the immediate, you don’t care. Our culture taught you selfishness, algorithms taught you hate and apathy, and history taught you nothing.

Kirk didn't serve in the military or hold office. The war hero treatment -- half-mast flags, military guard, Air Force Two escort, calls for a statue at the Capitol or to lie in the Rotunda -- shows that for MAGA, service to Trump has become the highest, most honorable form of service.

There are violent extremists on the left but they are not in charge of the party. You can find them on social media, not in the halls of power. The violent extremists on the right are in congress, on courts, and sitting in the Oval Office.

Trump’s acting U.S. attorney in Nevada just allowed an Israeli government official caught in a pedophile sting operation to flee home. An investigation into her previous campaign donors reveals the “emerging Mafia bureaucracy” that is the Trump DOJ. From Maureen Tkacik:

Foot Soldiers of the Trump Mafiacracy
Pam Bondi’s underling in Nevada allowed an Israeli caught in an underage sex sting operation to return home. Her biggest campaign donors also once fled to Israel to avoid arrest.

If Democratic politicians do not fight this because it's a "distraction," it will simply happen. They need to get in front of every mic and say that we will not allow Trump to destroy American history. He wants a culture war? GIVE HIM ONE. There are no distractions. Have every fight.
Trump on TruthSocial: The Museums throughout Washington, but all over the Country are, essentially, the last remaining segment of ‘WOKE.’ The Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL, where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been — Nothing about Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future. We are not going to allow this to happen, and I have instructed my attorneys to go through the Museums, and start the exact same process that has been done with Colleges and Universities where tremendous progress has been made. This Country cannot be WOKE, because WOKE IS BROKE. We have the ‘HOTTEST’ Country in the World, and we want people to talk about it, including in our Museums.

Journalists have let Trump roll over them like this a hundred times and it's SO wrong. The way to handle it is to stop and put aside your questions. "Sir, I will not let you do this. Even a child could see that was a crude photoshop. You may not lie to our viewers this way." Not complicated.
