I said it at the time (and before!), but I truly believe that American voters electing Donald Trump for a second term in 2024 was the dumbest and most self-harming choice made by an electorate in the history of humanity

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.
Trump has not once called on Putin to stop bombing civilian population centers, which he targets daily. Witkoff & Kushner never said that to Putin. We cut off Patriots to Ukraine for air defense. But now he demands Ukraine stop bombing refineries while Russia murders civilians.
This is what Trump is excusing when he says of Xi that “we spy on them too” — “Before Iran carried out its attack that killed 3 US troops, Tehran acquired images of the base in Jordan from China … It’s clearest evidence so far that Chinese support for Iran has had lethal consequences for US forces”

🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice (DOJ) told a federal judge Friday it’s appealing a scorching court order against President Donald Trump’s attempt to sue himself to create an almost $2 billion fund for his political allies. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Attorney General Blanche said Trump’s ‘weaponization fund’ was dead. Now DOJ is appealing
The DOJ said Friday it's appealing a judge's finding that Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against his own administration was "improper."

DHS is taking a slightly different approach, growing its long-term paramilitary footing by investing in local communities the only way we know how in the US: policing. Republicans effectively gave DHS a massive slush fund, and they're intent on funneling it to cooperating agencies to grow support.
