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.

Just the president urging Americans to take matters into their own hands to “fight back” against a small community of immigrants in their midst. No big deal.

It’s really remarkable to me that 10 years into this people feel compelled to “clarify” Trump’s homicidal and often genocidal fantasies. It is deranged for the president to daydream about American cities in states he hates getting blown up. Full stop.

wow -- Fox Business is now treating Trump's completely made up economic boasts as though they are factual. Note the citation here -- "The White House" Reminder that the entire US economy is about $32t. If we really had $21t flowing in, you'd notice it Fox thinks their viewers are really dumb

A 3-year-old no receipts program allows House members to supplement their $174,000 base salary by expensing food and housing costs while in Washington on official business, no specifics disclosed. House members spent $6.7 million of taxpayer money last year — a 21 percent increase over 2024.

The most bizarre thing about this idiotic, embarrassing line of questioning by Eric Schmitt is that it’s totally irrelevant Even if Jack Smith went to a basketball game in Atlanta-he didn’t-there isn’t even a scintilla of proof that he met, much less conspired with Fani Willis 35 days

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:
