NEW: A gay Houston immigrant was arrested by ICE when he showed up to his asylum interview on Nov. 4th despite having no criminal history. He's been in ICE detention since then. His husband, a U.S. citizen, says ICE laid "a trap," and is now working for his release.

The only conclusion I can draw from this is that there is something physically wrong and cognitively wrong with Trump, he knows it, and he's angry and frightened.
pbump.com Philip Bump @pbump.com · 13h
Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.
There has never been a President that has worked as hard as me! My hours are the longest, and my results are among the best. I’ve stopped Eight Wars, saving many millions of lives in the process, created the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country, brought Business back into the United States at levels never seen before, rebuilt our Military, created the Largest Tax Cuts and Regulation Cuts, EVER, closed our open and very dangerous Southern Border, when previous Administrations were unable to do so, and created an “aura” around the United States of America that has led every Country in the World to respect us more than ever before. In addition to all of that, I go out of my way to do long, thorough, and very boring Medical Examinations at the Great Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, seen and supervised by top doctors, all of whom have given me PERFECT Marks — Some have even said they have never seen such Strong Results. I do these Tests because I owe it to our Country. In addition to the Medical, I have done something that no other President has done, on three separate occasions, the last one being recently, by taking what is known as a Cognitive Examination, something which few people would be able to do very well, including those working at The New York Times, and I ACED all three of them in front of large numbers of doctors and experts, most of whom I do not know. I have been told that few people have been able to “ace” this Examination and, in fact, most do very poorly, which is why many other Presidents have decided not to take it at all. Despite all of this, the time and work involved, The New York Times, and some others, like to pretend that I am “slowing up,” am maybe not as sharp as I once was, or am in poor physical health, knowing that it is not true, and knowing that I work very hard, probably harder than I have ever worked before. I will know when I am “slowing up,” but it’s not now! After all of the work I have done with Medical Exams, Cognitive Exams, and everything else, I actually believe it’s seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean “THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.” They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it. They have inaccurately reported on all of my Election Results and, in fact, were forced to apologize on much of what they wrote. The best thing that could happen to this Country would be if The New York Times would cease publication because they are a horrible, biased, and untruthful “source” of information. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

People are going to die because of the pending insurance premium hikes. I know the terrain of discourse is inconsistent and goes through a tumble cycle every 24 hours, but I really think we need to hone in on this reality and drive it home for people.

James Comey's former lawyer Daniel Richman points out that Trump's DOJ "does not seriously argue" that it didn't violate his rights with a bad searches.

Feds just say they need the fruits of that search to try prosecuting Comey.

Full reply here storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
"The government has a vast trove of Professor Richman’s personal and professional data and no lawful basis to retain it. Tellingly, the government does not seriously argue that it did not violate Professor Richman’s Fourth Amendment rights. Rather, it claims that the Court must disregard its repeated Fourth Amendment violations because it needs the fruits of those violations to prosecute James Comey. In doing so, it misstates the law and seeks to deprive Professor Richman of the only available recourse to stop the government from violating his rights. The Court should reject these arguments, deny the government’s motion to dissolve the temporary restraining order (“TRO”), and grant Professor Richman’s Rule 41(g) Motion."

The Venezuela boat murders are meant to be a gateway drug to domestic murders. The “you can’t let this MAGA regime out of power now because you military are going to jail if we leave” is a powerful cooption technique but not atypical for authoritarian regimes

Meanwhile, Jared Kushner and three Middle East countries are backing the bid — while Kushner advises Trump on foreign policy.

One theory I have is that competence, self-control, responsibility, and expertise have all been feminized, leaving “masculinity” with the realm of impulsivity and petulance. So the divide is not really between “femininity” and “masculinity” so much as between adulthood and childishness.
chrislhayes.bsky.social Chris Hayes @chrislhayes.bsky.social · 1d
Everything else aside, the idea that this is a model for many men of *masculinity* is so wild. This? This is "manly"? This is how people think it's cool to act?
