Donald Trump created this unstable equilibrium; no matter how it breaks down, it will be his fault.

here is a super strained effort to suggest a crisis that still fairly quickly has to concede that Boston is one of the safest cities in the United States

www.masslive.com/boston/2025/...

Boston saw its lowest homicide rate in over 60 years. Can the trend continue?

Boston's homicide rate has more than doubled since this time last year, but officials insist it's still one of the safest U.S. cities. Here's a look at what’s unfolded over the past six months.

you can't expect much from ESPN who are not really journalists but a cog in the sports gambling industry but the reason Trump is mad at Boston is that they have a supremely effective non-white mayor and not because of crime

Trump threatens to remove WC games from Boston

President Donald Trump threatened on Tuesday to revoke Boston's World Cup matches if local authorities don't get tougher on crime.

"At this point, the pro-democracy movement has a lot of experience deescalating tension and running off bad elements. But if things go sideways, this weekend, or at any point in the widening occupation, it’ll be Trump’s fault."

This is basically what a [Brett] Kavanaugh Stop looks like: Cops roll up on brown person, demand papers, penalize them for not having them. This became the law of the land in that shadow docket decision.

ICE tickets Chicago man with legal residency $130 for not having his papers on him: ‘It’s not fair…I’m a resident’

Under federal law, registered foreign nationals must carry proof of registration with them at all times. But prior to a second Trump administration, it was rarely enforced.

I'd worry about this primary more if Mills was a non-confrontational Democrat but she also took on Trump frontally so I have her on Team Fight. If national Dems want to play a role here it should be to wage a relentlessly negative campaign on Susan Collins' malignance.

for my part, Sally the only things that gives me pause are her lack of journalism experience or ethics, her sophomoric writing level, the fact that she's a censorious scold, and a virulent Islamophobe but aside from that she's just as good as Les Moonves, the serial sex predator who used to run CBS

This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
