How did the “squirter” missile get through? Why were the troops in Kuwait not moved to a fortified secure facility on base? Did they even know they were at risk? Considering this Adm didn’t even think to evacuate Americans in the region…all important Qs. “That’s the way it is.” —President Trump
A ballet dancer once abused by Jeffrey Epstein, Dani Bensky tells me she and other survivors are not being asked to appear on “Republican media” outlets like Fox. open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...
"Aside from the internment camps used to incarcerate Japanese Americans in the 1940s, such facilities have no precedent in American history..."

Secret police put a beat down on a grandmother in Oregon, tearing her rotator cuff while pulling her from a car, before dumping out her purse and fleeing the scene after finding a US passport.
Overwhelming amount of media world chatter and concern about "60 Minutes" tonight. Why would CBS News promote the story about the Trump admin's deportations to CECOT on Friday, only to shelve it today? Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi says it is "not an editorial decision, it is a political one."
Trump said of Jamal Khashoggi's killing "things happen." He also told a Bloomberg journalist to be "Quiet, Piggy." He called for the execution of six Democratic lawmakers. A particularly heinous week. My Nation column on all of this, and more: www.thenation.com/article/worl...

So Qatar gifts Trump a $400M luxury jet and instead of saying hell no, his team twists the law like a balloon animal to make it fit.
The Constitution says no foreign gifts without Congress.
Trump says, “Unless it’s gold-plated.”
This isn’t diplomacy. It’s corruption wrapped in jet fuel.
Remember when the story broke about a worm eating part of his brain and nobody was that surprised?
Guys he wants to reopen Alcatraz
A disgusting new level of propaganda.
Karoline Leavitt wasted taxpayer dollars plastering mug shots across the White House lawn — like trophies.
Lies. Fear. Dehumanization. All to distract us from their own failures.
Trump’s DOJ has revoked funding for nearly 400 nonprofits, including organizations that:
-Advocate for non-English speaking crime victims
-Support victims of child abuse, hate crimes, and human trafficking
-Work to reduce school shootings
Devastating.

The @indivisiblemn03.org Overpass Brigade was out in force over Interstate 494 in Minnetonka, MN. Passing motorists approved our message. It was great to see old and new friends on the bridge expressing our civic concern. #ETTD #HandsOff
Voting is how we hold our elected leaders accountable.
A healthy democracy is how we stop corruption and ensure everyone has a voice in the system.
Donald Trump is attacking these foundational America values.
We’re fighting back.

Stop the cuts! Inspired to see so many Minnesotans coming together to demand the Trump Administration end its attacks on Medicaid, Social Security, and SNAP—just to fund tax breaks for billionaires. The rule of law is under attack but we are not powerless, and we’re fighting back 🇺🇸💙

"I am very concerned that if these cuts are not rescinded, these will have an effect for decades." Dr. David Kessler, former FDA commissioner, is losing confidence that the damage Donald Trump is doing to the United States is fixable.
