I don't love dunking on folks but it's so fucking funny to me that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies 2 years ago, faced no punishment, and went on to win the presidency a second time and journalists are still like, "hmm, I have an inkling that maybe he believes he's above the law for some reason."
Post from NYT reporter Eric Lipton 

"What an odd moment in United States history.

A U.S. president is running an overtly political campaign advertisement, right before midterm elections, paid for by the U.S. government.

Trump appears to believe he is immune from any kind of legal limit."

This morning, New York City came together in remembrance of 25 years since the horrific terror attacks of September 11. 25 years of grief and loss, heroism and heartbreak, rebuilding and renewal.
Scenes from the 9/11 Memorial Ceremony. City workers in uniform hold an American flag. Mayor Mamdani, Governor Hochul, and other officials stand together. Mourners, including a young girl in a pink t-shirt, lay flowers at Ground Zero. A woman with grey hair mourns at Ground Zero. A man in an orange t-shirt and green baseball cap embraces a woman in a green shirt and black sunglasses. A man holds a poster of a firefighter, Michael Edward Roberts, who made the ultimate sacrifice on 9/11.

Trump’s reckless, unilateral war has exposed our hard power limitations, frayed alliances, and given Iran aid in fostering terrorists’ recruitment. In doing so, he has quite possibly “opened a new chapter in violent extremism for which the United States is not prepared.”
