Trump on MBS, a murderer who had a journalist living in the United States dismembered: "He's a very good friend of mine." Trump on Jeff Epstein, an evil child sex trafficker: "A terrific guy. A lot of fun to be with. Likes beautiful women as much as I do and many of them are on the younger side."

Trump didn't want Americans to hear what James Talarico had to say. So he made sure Talarico's interview was viewed by 5 million people in 24 hours, over the double the views Trump's speech at the Midterm Convention got. Donald is smart that way.

Real liberalism has been tried. First it created the Constitution. Then it abolished slavery. Then it ended segregation. Then it created the greatest surge of prosperity in history. Our problems today are not because liberalism failed. They are because we failed liberalism.

In six months time, the US bombing of Somalia, escalated by Donald Trump in recent months "will rank as the longest foreign war the U.S. has ever fought," writes Spencer Ackerman for Zeteo. So why is no one talking about this particular 'forever war'?

Why Is No One Talking About the ‘New War’ Trump Is Waging in Somalia?
While the administration hounds Somali immigrants at home, it’s pummeling Somalia with an ‘unprecedented’ volume of airstrikes, but you might not know it given the silence from our media and Congress.

This preposterous application should have a probability of success of less than zero
Erica Orden: Carroll just filed a brief disclosing that Trump’s counsel asked yesterday if she “would consent to a further stay of enforcement of the judgment in this action so that Defendant can ask the Supreme Court to reconsider its denial of certiorari.”

Carroll says she will not consent.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

Even the Big Ag CEOs are telling us prices are heading higher because of Trump’s war in Iran.
Screenshot of an X/Twitter post by @factpostnews reporting Fox Business coverage of rising food prices due to the Iran conflict, citing wheat up over 20%, soybeans up 11%, and fertilizer up 44% since the conflict began, noting that one third of the world's fertilizer passes through the Strait of Hormuz.

Today's VRA decision is intellectually dishonest and wrong. The conservative court basically said: Black people can vote for their preferred candidates, as long as they prefer the right candidates -- which will be Republicans. An absolutely mockery of the law and a stain on the court.

Brutal.
A WHOLE CIVILIZATION
WILL DIE TONIGHT
My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools.
Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's
"keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's
"we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight."
It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before.
"It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time.
A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead.

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽‍♂️
