NEW on “Paper Trail”: A defense contractor CEO told the FBI that he had bribed politicians — and that Susan Collins was his most important patron. Then Trump shut down an elite FBI anti-corruption unit. So we took it upon ourselves to investigate.

Ahead of the 2024 election, @andykroll.bsky.social got his hands on some secret tapes of Trump's budget director, Russell Vought. One thing Vought said hit Kroll like a ton of bricks: that he wanted to put government workers “in trauma.” Listen to this episode: propub.li/4yO4q11
“We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected. … When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work.” —Russell Vought, Director of the White House Office of Management and Budget

It's not "strikingly juvenile" and it's not a "personal broadside." It's hate speech. The Vice President is trying to get people to vote against a Democrat by implying that he's gay and/or a pedophile and/or a fetishist. Take it seriously. It is on a par with every other kind of hate speech.

As the Trump administration has relentlessly pursued immigrants, federal agents have run roughshod over the constitutional rights of U.S. citizens. We’re showing you every incident we’ve confirmed — along with the receipts: propub.li/3TBuddL
500+ U.S. citizens detained since the start of the second Trump administration. 100+ U.S. citizens held after agents questioned their citizenship. Nearly all of them were people of color. At least 70 American children and teens detained, some of whom were handcuffed. 36 U.S. citizens held for at least a day without being able to contact a lawyer or family.

Figuring out why Ossoff is so effective is an interesting task. I think he's mastering a kind of stern dignity that is uniquely compelling in contrast to the clownish cruelty of the other side. I think the other person who's kind of hit on the same thing is AOC, though in a different register

This is Nazi rhetoric, full stop. It's not only a call to instigate a race war in the United States, but it's reminiscent of historic European justifications used to incite pogroms against Jews. People who say things like this are incredibly dangerous, as there is nothing they won't eventually do.

Trump is a disgrace to the office and to humanity. He has ZERO respect for the military. He is grossly incompetent and unqualified to be our commander in chief. What an embarrassment. That lying, treasonous, corrupt, racist, pedophile deserves the 25th, but the REPUBLICANS are spineless cowards.
San Diego has one of the largest concentrations of US Navy and Marines Corps forces in the world and serves as a hub for the US Pacific Fleet. 

San Diego County is home to over 110,000 active duty military members and roughly 60,000 military children. 

It's home to more than 200,000 veterans and retirees.
