The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums.

He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.

How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

El Mundo: Chicago police officers have started collecting videos & other evidence to send to the Illinois Prosecutor's Office following a violent encounter between Border Patrol agents in Evanston and a crowd.

This needs to happen everywhere!

Speaker Mike Johnson vs Sergeant Schultz from Hogan's Heroes -- who knows less about what's going on?

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.
this sucks and seems like an INSANE decision from them. even in a pure biz sense this seems nuts. I am sure you will go on to do great things, but totally sucks to see these insane decisions in corporate media world.

MAGA remorse. It's an actual thing. And there's no need to forgive or trust them ever again.
But we should refrain from browbeating them.
Resist the temptation. Allow them an exit strategy, to return to decency. They are the ones who can lead others out of the cult.

We should welcome MAGA remorse: I should know — it saved me
Many Trump voters have doubts. There will be a gradual, and then sudden, awakening. We must be ready to help

This quote continues to rattle me to my core:

"So what you’re telling us is you need less evidence to kill somebody than you do to hold them."

That's Rep Adam Smith to Pentagon officials in a briefing on Trump's illegal boat bombings. As he told me in this piece, they didn't answer his objection:
Awful: Pentagon officials told lawmakers Trump now claims authority to bomb people merely “affiliated” with “narco-terrorist" groups, Rep Adam Smith tells me. But under questioning, they wouldn't say what “affiliated” even means!

Lots of fresh info in my new piece:

A 2020 study found that Amazon—which shares owner Jeff Bezos with The Washington Post—is one of the largest employers of people on SNAP.
As SNAP funds froze, mayors and governors have pledged to supplement the missing federal assistance, while federal judges ruled Friday that the Trump administration should use contingency funds to keep food aid running despite the government shutdown.
Uncertainty hits after vulnerable Americans woke up to a SNAP freeze
Amid a benefits pause, nonprofit groups plan to work extra hours to get food out to vulnerable residents, and local community members are also stepping up.

Trump did on 60 Minutes what he does every time. He spews a blizzard of lies, exaggerations and assorted other falsehoods, and if (as usual) the reporter isn’t equipped or doesn’t bother to push back, he keeps going.

Here is a detailed list, via @mehdirhasan.bsky.social

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Chicagoland going for MVP:

“This is beyond anyone’s wildest imagination in the best possible way,” Khan said. “It’s overwhelmingly amazing, and we just want to make sure we get food to people who need it the most.”

It’s insane to talk through this shit out loud. “Children should starve because it might make their moms less likely to sleep around in the future.”
Evangelicals are hot for starving kids.

Meanwhile USDA Sec Rollins is trying to change the subject —the subject being Trump's decision to withhold food aid from 40M people—by claiming the admin is focused on rooting out SNAP fraud.
To be fair, no one can fraudulently receive benefits if no one receives benefits, period

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email
these MAGs only know how to bullshit, lie and blame everyone else for everything. It's just nuts.

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL: There are sectors of the economy that are in recession.

Noooooooo. If this billionaire "I am a farmer" clown is saying this, it must mean things are getting reaaaally bad
#FarmerMcBessentSucks
TAPPER: Do you agree that the US is at risk of a recession?

BESSENT: I believe we are in a transition period here. I think we're in good shape, but there are sectors of the economy that are in recession
