Enjoy: fly fishing, the photographs of nature/animals posted by the talent here, satire (political or not), food/foodies, everything “garden”. Believe in: science, education, healthcare. Nope: MAGA, felons holding office, billionaires running our country.

Pappas: It’s a golden age if you’re Don Jr. getting a Russian oligarch to pay for a wedding reception, but for the rest of us, it doesn’t feel like that. They can put out whatever numbers they want. The American people know that this is a totally incompetent president who is estranged from reality.

MAGA says they only want judges born in the US. Fine. Start with Trump’s BFF, Aileen Cannon, who was born in Cali, Colombia. Let’s see how long that rule lasts.

This morning, the Justice Department went after nearly an entire state's federal bench, all at once. The judges had said the government wasn't following court orders. The response was to try to remove the judges. Here's why every American should be paying attention. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

“What a crock of sh*t!” Katie Phang torches Todd Blanche after he declares, “There’s not a prosecutor in this country that should ever, ever violate a court order,” pointing to the Trump DOJ’s documented noncompliance with court orders in her OWN Epstein files lawsuit.

Hegseth says “anti-American losers in our media” are committing “treason” by not obediently amplifying his Iran war lies. He hasn’t held a war briefing for reporters at the Pentagon since May. Which means he hasn’t justified his actions to the public, even though he’s conducting a war in our name.

In Speech, Hegseth Targets Diversity, Transgender People, Reporters and Iran
In his “State of the Force” address, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth focused on the culture war and accused reporters of “treason” over Iran war coverage.

Wilber Rafael Garces Perez was shot by ICE 10 days ago. The bullet is still lodged in his back. He’s been forced to sleep on the floor and hasn’t been given medication, according to his attorney. Now DHS is claiming he assaulted an agent. Can we trust anything DHS says given its track record?

Apparently, nuclear weapons are fine if the dictator strokes Trump’s ego. Iran can’t have them, but Kim Jong Un gets “he likes Trump” and “he’s going to be fine.” National security reduced to a narcissist’s friendship club. Who needs nonproliferation when you have personal flattery?
