WOW - Trump crashes out & cuts his interview w/ Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged "You're either crooked or you're stupid. I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her" "I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads

I can't believe he's been on that show for 11 years already! It seems like just yesterday that his predecessor, Carl Kassel, passed away.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

Trump: "See that nice drape? When that comes down right now you see a very very deep hole, but in about a year and half you're gonna see a very very beautiful building. In fact, it looks so nice I think I'll leave it and save money on the doors. I believe it will be the most beautiful ballroom."

Much reporting re DOJ’s omissions and redactions…but whose decisions were they? Surely they went up the line to Blanche and Bondi? Did they overrule career staff? Did they consult with the White House? With Trump? And if it’s a unitary executive, aren’t they all Trump’s decisions, redactions, etc?
