This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

It's just hyperbole to suggest that Trump's comments on Somali-Americans are intended to launch pogroms, right? I mean, what kind of lunatic would take any of that seriously? In unrelated news:

For being a guy hung up on fighting jihadists, Hegseth really doesn't have a clue how actual jihadists think. This is the greatest gift he could give him.

Just today: - The Trump admin announced the first public execution since 1936. - Trump tried to incite a race war against Somalis. - Trump said anyone using the phrase AI is "THE ENEMY" - The NYT reported on a potential ICE plan to deport migrants on military boats and ferries.

Trump tries to start a race war: "The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants ... The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back!"

This is a moral atrocity and it needs to be loudly condemned as such. There is a reason that democracies *don't* do publicly televised executions (and why many don't execute people at all): it inculcates and rewards bloodthirst, which corrupts the spirit and corrodes the foundation of the polity.

The NY Times uses words like “fierce,” “steely,” “nimble” and “homegrown star of the Trump White House” to describe Karoline Leavitt, who just got a Fox News gig. Not a single mention of her relentless lying to the American public. Reporter Michael M. Grynbaum and his editors suck.

The extent to which the rule "you are not allowed to insult the other side's voters" is applied exclusively to the left never ceases to infuriate me. "Basket of deplorables" and "cling to guns or religion" were WEEKS-long news cycles. There were panels. There was theme music and a logo.

This is *the* main continuity between neo-fascism and the 20th Century variety. Erich Fromm argued exactly this in "Escape From Freedom," saying that modernity left many alienated and socially dislocated--and fascist strongmen promised to restore meaning and purpose to their lives.

President Quasimodo is wracked with worry for the poor peasants who must scale the outsides of tall steeples to force the giant hands back around their colossal faces high above their villages and hamlets. The wretches could fall to their deaths like all the birds murdered by windmills!

History in the making: Before launching military strikes abroad, Trump consulted ... a megadonor’s AI chatbot. Of course, Trump didn’t need AI; he needed the patience to sit through a foreign policy meeting without falling asleep. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Trump reportedly sought input from Musk’s AI chatbot on military strikes

This was almost certainly the first time in U.S. history that a president consulted an AI chatbot about a provocative foreign policy gambit.

We are at part of the cycle where Republicans are about to lose badly, and so they pivot to talking about the rhetoric temperature as if there is no pathology to it. Every dang time, hacking a real desire for dialogue but asking nothing meaningful of the most vicious voices in the right.

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."

Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.
