Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

Vile and racist comments when they think no outsiders can listen in. Because Chatham house rules, right? A lot of bold, outside-– box thinking going on here on “forbidden” topics.

Social Security is now under threat 🚨 The Trump administration plans to propose regulatory changes that, if finalized, could be the biggest Social Security disability cut in history. @mollyww.bsky.social and @seemiaroll.bsky.social explain:

The Trump Administration’s Plans To Covertly Cut Social Security Disability Benefits

As Democrats peach about "tossing the baton" and "a new generation of leaders," note that Susan Collins herself is five years younger than Janet Mills — who the Democratic establishment is now scrambling behind

🚨 The DSCC — led by Kirsten Gillibrand, Mark Kelly, Adam Schiff, and Lisa Blunt Rochester — has formed a joint fundraising committee with Janet Mills.

Mills, running against Graham Platner in the Maine Democratic Senate primary, would become the oldest freshman (79) ever elected, to a 6-year term.

They like what Trump is doing, this really isn't hard. It's not both-sideism, it's running cover for the regime by choice in order to reach a desired outcome. Can we please stop cutting this institution slack it does not deserve?

David Corn @davidcorn.bsky.social · 3d

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.
