Witnesses captured the moment NYPD officers rushed to the scene of a shooting involving federal goons in the Bronx this afternoon. Officers ran to the scene and carried a man into the back of a car to transport him to the hospital.

This should alarm every American. Trump is shutting out independent election observers while preparing to send his own DOJ monitors to polling places. That's a page out of Putin's playbook. Our elections belong to the people — not Donald Trump.
ms.now
Trump administration refuses international election monitors for first time in over 2 decades
The decision not to invite observers from the OSCE puts the U.S. alongside Russia and Belarus, while the Justice Department prepares to deploy its own poll monitors.

Pete Hegseth gave a speech in front of a backdrop that almost perfectly matches Nazi imagery. Meanwhile, Trump calls opponents “vermin” who he will “root out,” and says the blood of our country is being poisoned. We are far past left vs right. Our choice is democracy or fascism.

We’re living through a time when far too many men — including privileged young men at a frat house in an Ivy League university — feel impunity when it comes to attacking women. I don’t think it unrelated to the impunity felt by the man now occupying the highest office in the land.

Trump could seek to remove Jerome Powell, Lisa Cook and Michael Barr from the Federal Reserve, but court rulings and lengthy litigation could limit him.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings
