This is psychosis. He is profoundly mentally ill. He is not fit to be in any position of power over anyone or anything. He should not control nuclear weapons.

Q: You said Russia and Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire, but both sides said they have not agreed to that TRUMP: Well they agreed, you know why? Because I said 'you agree.' That's why.

Incredible news! Here's your feel-good story for the day. As Ashley said, we can't do this one case at a time, we need bigger change. But that doesn't mean we can't celebrate a family reunited. Join us tomorrow for a virtual press conference.

The Democratic Party should already have an ICE mortality dashboard. They should have an easy to find updated list of every Trump impeachable act. We need to revamp the Democratic Party.

@What else can you expect from this administration? So cold and cruel. After the June 24 earthquakes, my sister Rosa lost her daughter Sofia (14). Her son Diego (18) was rescued from the rubble with 3 vertebral fractures and a leg injury. I’m glad I can support them thanks to our community.

The ballroom is a fiasco. The reflecting pool is a fiasco. The inflation is a fiasco. The federal deficit is a fiasco. The Iran war is a fiasco. So please remind me again what makes Trump such a “winner”?

This is a must watch interview of our great leader. I have hopes and Venezuela will be rebuilt and will be prosper again.

NPR@npr.org

NPR's Mary Louise Kelly speaks with María Corina Machado, the Venezuelan opposition leader and recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, about the difficult balance she must strike between appealing to existing leadership and forging a new future for Venezuela.

Imagine needing a reminder that “No Kings” is the baseline for our democracy. These mass protests are for the people pretending “King” is a U.S. job title and trading their dignity for a red hat. It’s “We the People”, not “We the Fanboys”. Get the memo.

TRUMP: THE U.S. WOULD OWE TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS IF THE SUPREME COURT RULES AGAINST MY TARIFFS!!! SCOTUS: Maybe don’t illegally impose tariffs you don’t have the authority to implement, then dare the courts to stop you. 🤷🏻‍♀️

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

¡Venezuela! Rocío San Miguel is out after 23 months of terror in prison. Not Maduro’s gift—international pressure worked. Proud of this fighter! #RocioSanMiguelFree 🇻🇪

Here is the Department of Homeland Security touting this new ban by describing the (among others) spouses and children of U.S. citizens coming on visas as "foreign invaders." It has never been about legal versus illegal. They hate legal immigration. They want to stop it. That's the story.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social

Here is a map of the affected countries (excluding Tonga), to give you a sense of how much this new ban restricts immigration from Africa in particular. Of the newly-added country, Nigeria faces the largest impact, with tens of thousands of visas issued every year to Nigerians.

Juan Orlando Hernández, a former president of Honduras, helped orchestrate a decades-long scheme that prosecutors said brought more than 500 tons of cocaine into the U.S. He was convicted in a sweeping case last year, but President Trump said on Friday that he would pardon Hernandez.

Federal courts have ruled that Trump’s activation of the National Guard in California, Oregon, Illinois and even DC is illegal But it seems Pam Bondi is determined to join Pete Hegseth by issuing illegal orders to our troops

Bondi: "Yes, we are bringing in our National Guard to every city we possibly can who needs our help. And that's a lot of them."

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime. If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder. It’s that simple.

Am I the only one confused by today’s Trump post about Venezuela: ‘The airspace above and surrounding Venezuela to be closed in its entirety’?

Hours after Speaker Mike Johnson confidently declared that Senate Republicans would "fix" Thomas Massie's bill requiring release of the Epstein files, the Senate just passed the bill as is by unanimous consent without any changes. A massive, embarrassing debacle for Johnson. It now goes to Trump...

Let me put this as simply as possible: If the 60 Minutes editorial team cuts out most of their interview with Trump to make him look his best, and he still comes across as completely demented, then it is extremely likely that Trump actually is completely demented.

Targets “could be struck by air in a matter of days or even hours” without congressional approval, without a clear strategy or even explanation, without any assurance that the drones and Tomahawks aren’t aimed at some new version of “makeup artists with tattoos.”

If Prince Andrew used Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring, he should go to jail. If Bill Clinton used Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring, he should go to jail. If Donald Trump used Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring, he should go to jail. That wasn’t so difficult, was it?

It has been said before, but it bears repeating: the elderly who’ve worked their entire lives to get $800 a month on Social Security aren’t bankrupting America. It’s tax-evading billionaires like Trump who are bleeding this country dry.

So what do you say, J.D. Vance? You once feared Trump could be the American Adolf Hitler. But that seems to be the hope of the new generation of Republicans you’ve raised. Will you denounce this outbreak of antisemitism, racism and fascism in your party?

The mantra now seems to be ‘no more innocent until proven guilty’—but worse, there’s no chance to prove anything if you’re already dead. I see violations of human rights written all over his hands.

I can’t sleep thinking about La Guaira, my hometown. I’m deeply concerned for my family & for everyone who might be caught in the middle of whatever unfolds in Venezuela. This is such a delicate situation. I do hope Maduro & his regime are gone, but I’m also worried about the immediate consequences.

Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is what dictatorship looks like.

252 Venezolanos inocentes que injustamente y sin debido proceso enviaron al CECOT en el Salvador ya saldrán de la pesadilla que Trump y sus secuaces comenzaron. Ahora les toca un largo proceso de recuperación física, y mental. Mi corazón está con ellos!

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.
