The Trump administration has never met a crisis it couldn't make worse.
The Trump administration has reacted to a small scale lone wolf attack by in DC announcing a sweeping collective punishment, using the organs of government to heap blame on partisan rivals, and potentially dissuading anyone from collaborating with US forces abroad for a generation.

this is the world's most confusing day for centrist Democrats who just voted to condemn socialism and tried to sink Mamdani's campaign for months
Trump on Mamdani: "I think he's gonna surprise some conservative people, actually. And some very liberal people he won't surprise because they already like him."

You can think it’s good that Massie and MTG are stirring up shit within the GOP caucus without thinking their politics in general is good. It’s not hard at all in fact?

Couldn’t have said it any better
Trump's policies are inflicting so much harm even his allies can see it. Yet he's mostly doing exactly what he promised to. If they revolt over policy, they'll reveal they were fools to back him in the first place. They need a *moral* reason to abandon him. The Epstein files provide just that.

To be fair, the Catholic League has never had a problem with pedophilia
Holy shit. They're really doing it. They're doing "actually pedophilia is good now." The debasement of the American Right is complete.
