Let’s be honest: there have already been several bizarre moments from Trump this morning alone that would justify invoking the 25th Amendment.

He is a seriously unwell individual.

Good lord. I've only read a portion of this but it's fucking bonkers...and it's a perfect encapsulation of what the Trump Regime & MAGA are doing writ large nationally.

NEW: Trump meant to send a Truth Social DM to Pam Bondi about indicting his rivals. That sounds like official business, so I'm filing a FOIA for her DMs, plus those of five other cabinet members. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/my-latest-...

My Latest FOIA: Trump's Truth Social DMs

Recently, Trump posted a message to Pam Bondi that was meant to be a direct message. I want to know what other official messages he's sending to cabinet members.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Fox News is eating this up.

Have you ever seen anyone torch their own governor chances as fast as Katie Porter did last week?

Google searches for “Katie Porter interview” are up 10,000% and her odds of becoming the next California governor just cratered from 40% to under 16%.

Trump just installed Michael Ellis as CIA general counsel, possibly to green light legally dubious CIA ops to do this as an end run around congress.

Kelly: I really worry about those aviators, drone operators, special forces guys that are in the Caribbean right now striking these boats and whether or not this is legal..

There’s no authorization for the use of military force. The Congress has not given that to the president. He hasn’t asked.

The tell here is Johnson/Thune could put Dems in a legitimate bind by offering a 1-year extension (which is what a handful of swing seat GOPs have already done).

This would put *Dems* in an awkward spot by "calling their bluff" bla bla bla.

But they won't even do THAT, likely because...Epstein.

Chris Murphy: "Republicans are boycotting negotiations to reopen the govt bc they're desperate to raise premiums on people by 75% in order to finance their tax cut for the wealthy. The other reason House isn't in town? They're about to have enough votes to mandate the release of the Epstein files."

I’m horrified to hear that two people were kidnapped by ICE in Evanston this morning.

There’s a protest at Home Depot shortly. We’ll be delivering water and supplies to protesters — I hope you’ll join us in standing with our community.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

During the last "No Kings" protest, MAGA didn't have much to say. But they're so worried about this coming Saturday's events that they've labeled peaceful protesters as paid terrorists.
Show up because you love this country. And, no, George Soros won't cut you a check, despite what MAGA liars say.

No Kings

As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

JD Vance calls Pritzker a "criminal." Because facts mean nothing to him.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 5h

STEPHANOPOULOS: Trump said Pritzker should be in jail. Do you think he has committed a crime?

VANCE: I think Pritzker has certainly failed to keep the people of Illinois safe

S: It's a yes or no question

V: I certainly think he has violated his fundamental oath. That seems pretty criminal to me
