It's hard to keep up with the stream of the Trump Administrations horrible words and actions.
Here are screenshots from the top of @nytimes.com taken today at noon and then at 6:00pm.
I'm hoping this is a sign that the NYT is willing to convey the truth about what's happening.

Pete Hegseth needs to resign or be fired. Now. He’s a walking, talking national security embarrassment.
The disastrous and illegal Venezuela strikes - and his refusal to accept responsibility - should be the last straw.

This administration is filled with the absolute dumbest, meanest, cruelest pieces of shit.
And they're so *proud* to be dumb, mean, cruel pieces of shit too. They delight in it. They brag about it.
It's vice signaling as a way of life.

For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.
If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

Jeffries says not to expect Democrats to pursue Hegseth impeachment over boat strikes
"Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor," he said.

It’s clear that the primary interest of the US in “peace negotiations” is to create opportunities for Trump, Witkoff, their family members, business partners and cronies to make billions from business deals with Russia, and Ukraine is just the annoying nuisance in the way.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.
