Dear @nytimes.com: instead of paraphrasing Trump’s “profanity laced” Easter threats you should just repeat them in full. Your prim rectitude does not properly convey the vile rantings of a president eager to commit more war crimes.

One tip I can't believe I'll be offering in future negotiation classes is that interlocutors tend to react badly when you publicly announce the talks are just to buy time until you can steal their stuff. This applies doubly if you have no practical way whatsoever to actually do it.

His own staffers hold him in contempt. Pentagon staffers have reportedly given SecDef Pete Hegseth the nickname "Dumb McNamara," comparing him to Robert McNamara, who significantly expanded US involvement in the Vietnam War while regularly proclaiming victory. www.the-independent.com/bulletin/new...

After the arrests of powerful men across the world, you might be asking why the US has so much trouble holding its leaders accountable for lawbreaking. Since Nixon, all three branches of government have worked hard to ensure they can break the law with impunity www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

"The president had DOJ illegally cover up documents about allegations he sexually assaulted a child after Congress specifically passed a law requiring they be disclosed" is, in and of itself, enough to merit rapid removal from office regardless of how true or credible the underlying allegation is.

These last few days Trump has felt particularly Mad Kingy, raging against his opposition, spiraling more and more out of control. It is remarkable how much these four "injuries" listed in our Declaration Of Independence speak to us today 7/

Shouldn’t Senate Dems introduce legislation providing full funding TSA, Coast Guard, FEMA, etc.—and no new funding for ICE and CBP? Seems like pretty good ground to fight on. Offer to come back and pass it Tuesday.

On the execution in Minnesota: Obviously, the individuals involved should be held accountable. But responsibility goes to the top of ICE and CBP, and DHS. Their appropriations come up next week in the senate. Not a cent for DHS without pulling ICE and CBP off the streets, in MN and everywhere else.

Trade wars are about causing and enduring pain. The US can do the former, but the public has absolutely no appetite for the latter over an issue as clearly invented as Greenland. This is the kind of stunt you can try at 58% Presidential approval and on an issue the public supports. This ain't it.

this is one of the most psychotic things Trump has ever posted
A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS. He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before. May Rob and Michele rest in peace!

Oddly enough, in media coverage of Dems' video warning against carrying out illegal orders, there's very little discussion of *whether it's actually reasonable to fear Trump is giving illegal commands or not.* The evidence is strong that he is. Media should say so: newrepublic.com/article/2035...

Apples-to-apples, the Clinton email server dump had so much boring, banal email compared to this. But that didn't stop Trump and the GOP from running around in 2016 like it was Watergate. Other lesson: the news media has/had no discernible methodology for document dumps and proportional coverage.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.
As a Black Hawk helicopter roared overhead, the slender, 28-year-old immigrant from Venezuela answered softly, his eyes darting to a television crew invited to film the raid. Next to Caicedo, masked Border Patrol agents inspected another man’s tattoos and asked him if he belonged to Tren de Aragua, the Venezuelan gang that the Trump administration has designated a terrorist group.

Until that moment, Caicedo’s only interaction with law enforcement in his two-and-a-half years in the United States had been a traffic stop two weeks earlier for driving without a license or insurance, according to the records we reviewed. Chicago police had run a background check on him and found no prior arrests, no warrants and no evidence that he was in a gang. Caicedo said he had a pending asylum application, a steady job at a taco joint and a girlfriend whose daughter attended elementary school across the street. 

None of that mattered. The U.S. government paraded him and his neighbors in front of the cameras and called their arrests a spectacular victory against terrorism. But later, after the cameras had gone, prosecutors didn’t charge Caicedo with a crime. They didn’t accuse him of being a terrorist. And after a brief hearing in immigration court, the government sent him back to the country he had fled nine years earlier.

“I lost everything,” he said in a phone interview from his mother’s home in the Venezuelan city of Valencia. “For those fools, everyone from Venezuela is a criminal.”
