It was so hot! Good on him for toughing it out! Ridicule seems to be the only thing that penetrates the MAGA bubble. Although I'm not sure they understand it, lol.

@nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com @cnn.com are you going to write about the president of the United States posting a clip of himself literally dumping shit on Americans, or is it nbd?

A lot of centrist commentators who genuinely got worked up about the unforgivably insulting nature of "cling to guns and religion" or "basket of deplorables" are weirdly silent about Trump portraying himself as literally shitting on American cities

And we all know the headlines would have been screaming about the protests today if there was even a smattering of violence.

And you know they are planning for the next protest to inject violent agitators among us to ensure that we don’t get away with a peaceful demonstration again.

@nicolefoy.bsky.social is the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

She did it because the government isn’t.

This is what she found.

KARL: Why is the Defense Secretary afraid to interact with journalists who cover him?

JOHNSON: I reject the premise

KARL: The guy has only had 2 briefings and he basically forced the press out

JOHNSON: I can't remember a Secretary of Defense who has been so transparent and out in the open

This story is extraordinary even by 2025 standards. Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, made a deal with Bukele and agreed to renege on informant agreements in a years-long DOJ investigation into MS-13, totally undercutting credibility of such agreements.

www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trump’s El Salvador prison deal

To secure U.S. access to President Nayib Bukele’s notorious CECOT prison, Rubio agreed to turn over several MS-13 leaders central to a long-running Justice Department investigation.

Rand Paul on Trump calling him "nasty liddle' guy": "I don't take it too seriously. I've known the president for over a decade. I've played golf w/ him many times. I enjoy his company. I think he's one of the best presidents if not the best president of my lifetime...I'm one of his best supporters"

Don’t let the frogwater that’s boiling us alive let you skip over this: we murdered another country’s citizens in cold blood, and when their leader objected, we called him a drug dealer and cut off aid to his country. That’s freakish.

Petro objected to the US bombing a Columbian fishing vessel that had the emergency beacon on because they were broken down, that we subsequently bombed. One Columbian fisherman survived the attack.

This is the official US response to Petro's comments.

PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Trump calls Colombian President Petro an ‘illegal drug dealer’ and announces an end to US aid to the country.

Israel launches air strikes in Gaza, accusing Hamas of 'bold violation of ceasefire'

Hamas said it was "unaware of any events or clashes" in Rafah. It remains unclear if this will affect the ceasefire deal.

Anyone smear their feces on the Capitol walls today?

Beat up any cops with flag poles? Use mace or bear spray on them?

At least tell me someone constructed makeshift gallows and threatened to hang the vice president?

No?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news.

Y’all suck at political discourse.

The challenge now is simple: If Trump has the support of the majority of Americans, it should be trivial to turn out more people in more places on some other weekend.
