When a man shot and injured two members of the National Guard, Trump didn’t hesitate. He called it “a crime against our entire nation.” Strong words. Swift condemnation. Fire, fury, outrage.

This is the funniest part to me. That “news analysis” tag ostensibly allows them to write more honestly about what the fuck is happening. Both the headline and article never do that. I don’t know why they bothered.

That’s exactly the point of surrogate violence and Stochastic network violence of this kind coming from the state.
They are tacitly deputizing members of the public to carry out the violence for them in a plausibly deniable way it’s the exact same method they used to orchestrate January 6th.

Republicans, and the Trump WH specifically, are going to end up being directly responsible for violence against Democratic electeds. And nothing will be done about it.

Nice to see a Democratic Senator speak directly about Trump administration criminality without couching it in careful consultant-speak or trying to force it into an economic frame.
But Hegseth won’t be fired for war crimes. He was appointed *because* he advocates war crimes.
It’s up to Congress.

Maybe ABC, CBS, and WaPo like being denounced by the White House, at least a little, because they can use that to say they’re not biased in Trump’s favor despite all the objective evidence that they are. Good point.
I think they probably welcome it. They're all hopelessly biased in Trump's favor but having the WH call them out as somehow being "anti-Trump" is brand management for them

The president is about to start a war for no real reason. All of the things he has blamed on the country he’s targeting — fentanyl distribution, “emptying the asylums” and sending patients to the U.S., alignment with Tren de Aragua— are provably, obviously false.

As his approval sinks, Trump will turn to the emotion from which his power derives: fear.
Fear closes us off from each other, weakens what is our strength, deprives us of our future and only serves to secure his.
The antidote is hope. An autocrat cannot defeat a hopeful people. Hold fast to it.
