Trump went from making genocidal threats against Iran to becoming business partners with Iran in 24 hours. The guy is loonier than a shithouse rat.
This morning, I asked President Trump if he’s okay with the Iranians charging a toll for all ships that go through the Strait of Hormuz, he told me there may be a Joint US-Iran venture to charge tolls:

“We’re thinking of doing it as a joint venture. It’s a way of securing it — also securing it from lots of other people.”

“It’s a beautiful thing”

Katyal: "I was able to go to court - the son of immigrants-- & say on behalf of small businesses, 'Hey, this president is acting illegally.' I was able to present my case, have them ask really hard questions, & at the end of it they voted & we won. That is something extraordinary about this country"

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Jeffries on Trump asking Schumer to rename Dulles & Penn Station after him in exchange for unfreezing funds: "It's another example of Trump trying to force presidential graffiti down the throats of the people... this guy's priorities are completely & totally unhinged.

This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

Trump has posted on Truth Social about 65 times in the last 90 minutes, including a video he posted at 8:44 PM PT describing election fraud lies that shows racist AI images of Michelle and Barack Obama as monkeys at the end. I’ve confirmed this is real and watched it myself. 25th Amendment now.

They’re hiring goons, arming them to the teeth and unleashing them on our streets.
Screenshot of a post on X by Matt McDermott (@mattm…) stating that ICE reportedly slashed officer training from five months to 47 days to flatter Trump’s ego as the 47th president. The post adds that recruits arrived without full vetting, including with criminal records, failed drug tests, and not meeting basic standards. Below is a link preview and excerpt from a Daily Beast article describing ICE training being reduced and framed as a tribute to President Trump.
