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.

🚨BREAKING: Democrats are suing the Trump administration for using $20 million in taxpayer money on campaign-style TV ads promoting Trump. The ads carry explicit disclaimers saying they were paid for by the U.S. government, which the party argues violate federal law.

Court document with case title: Democratic National Committee vs. Donald J. Trump, The White House Office, Office of Management and Budget, and U.S. Department of Homeland Security, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The complaint alleges misuse of taxpayer dollars for political advertising.

On Nov. 21, 1922, in the NY Times' first story about an up-and-coming politician named Adolf Hitler, the Times said "Hitler's anti-Semitism was not so genuine or violent as it sounded." Yes, really. We should remember that when news media dismiss Trump's insane rhetoric. Take. It. Seriously.

"But several reliable, well-informed sources confirmed the idea that Hitler's anti-Semitism was not so genuine or violent as it sounded, and that he was merely using anti-Semite propaganda as a bait to catch masses of followers and keep them aroused, enthusiastic and in line for the time when his organization is perfected and sufficiently powerful to be employed effectively for political purposes."

The Trump administration accused Jefferson County schools of having 61 "biological males" on girls teams. It turns out there were 0, and no trans girls either. They have to manufacture problems that don't exist.

Screenshot of article text against a dark background reading:
"In March, the administration announced that Jeffco had violated federal nondiscrimination laws by allowing students access to restrooms, locker rooms and sports teams based on their gender identity instead of biological sex. A key data point was that 61 boys were participating on girls' athletic teams. The figure startled even district officials, mostly because, they said, there were no transgender girls competing on girls' teams.
The district said the Trump administration had misinterpreted the information. Though the records show male participants on girls' teams, they were team managers and mascots, not athletes. District officials said the federal government also may have confused a cross-country roster in which the same coach oversees separate programs for boys and girls."

The situation in Haiti is terrifying. On Sunday, 150 gunmen swept down on a town to kill, rape, loot, and burn. 22 people were executed in a churchyard. 52 were taken hostage. Stephen Miller mockingly says Haiti is safe and ICE just sent its second deportation flight this month; with kids on board.

They arrived in silence, under cover of darkness, heavily armed as they surrounded the town and moved through Kenscoff’s rugged terrain and towering forests in the mountains above the Haitian capital. Numbering around 150, the gunmen swept through several locations as they made their way toward the center of the town, opening fire on resident who tried to flee. At least 13 people were shot and killed as the gunmen ran through downtown, according to an account by the United Nations human rights office. As more than 50 others sought refuge in L’Arche de la Nouvelle Alliance, a Protestant church that had been sheltering people already displaced by the violence, the gunmen pursued them. When they arrive, they forced residents from the church and executed 22 of them in its courtyard. A dozen others were killed behind the sanctuary. The attackers didn’t just stop there. Before withdrawing from downtown, an area encompassing City Hall and a Haiti National Police substation, they abducted at least 52 people, including a mother and her five children, as well as another mother and her infant. Children and elderly who could not run were killed inside their homes. Others were burned alive after gunmen set at least a dozen houses on fire, witnesses told the National Human Rights Defense Network. The attackers also shot horses and other livestock inside the rural enclave.
