Trump and Carr could not care less about the public interest. They just want to silence dissent, like authoritarians have always done. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/14/w...

Trump is in the press briefing room right now talking about his first year in this term, and he's saying absolute nonsense. And the press is silent except for a few chuckles on his behalf. Why is no one in that room objecting to this?

The funny thing about Trump's possible intent to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minneapolis is that we still don't have most of the Epstein files.

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”. If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Big sigh. Watch this. Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting? No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.
