Good rule of thumb for friends is to imagine if China decided to start loudly discussing taking Hawaii, and how quickly you'd see red, and how unfunny you'd find it, and how belligerent your reaction to it would be. That is how Europeans and Canadians feel about this rhetoric from the US.

At least 2 Senators have said "All Powell has to do is talk to Pirro and tell her he's going to resign and Trump will drop the charges."
So here we have 2 sitting US Senators admitting the President is illegally extorting the chairman of The Fed. Admitting crimes out loud, on TV.
WTAF.

"The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first attack on a 'drug boat,' killing 11 ... the laws of armed conflict prohibit combatants from feigning civilian status to fool adversaries into dropping their guard, then killing them. That is a war crime."

If Prince Andrew used Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring, he should go to jail.
If Bill Clinton used Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring, he should go to jail.

That wasn’t so difficult, was it?

If he were right, the import price index (which measures pre-tariff prices) would have fallen by enough to offset the sharp tariff hike. It didn't.

I realize there's a lot going on with the shutdown, BUT DONALD TRUMP'S FORMER SPIRITUAL ADVISOR JUST PLED GUILTY TO SEXUALLY ABUSING A 12-YEAR-OLD GIRL.
Seems like something the media might want to ask the president about—if he ever stops hiding.

Trump promised an infrastructure bill for 4 years in his first term.
Said it was coming in 2 weeks many times.
Never delivered one.
Democrats then delivered critically needed funding for crumbling infrastructure.
Now Russ Vought is taking that away.
But only in blue states.

The media have to start framing this accurately. The president is now functioning as a tyrant. The story is whether the other two branches of government will do anything to stop him.

If I had to guess, Kash Patel had the FBI raid John Bolton this morning because today’s the extended deadline to turn over the Epstein files to House Oversight. My bet? They either blow it off or hand in some heavily redacted bullshit that hides Trump’s name. Always a distraction.

Here is how the media should be reporting this morning's news.
As part of a growing pattern of political retribution, Donald Trump's FBI has raided the home of a prominent administration critic. In this instance it happens to be John Bolton. The pretense is largely irrelevant.

The Oversight Committee subpoenaed the DOJ for the Epstein files. They now have 2 weeks to release the files to the committee.
It’s time to find out who’s been protected, who thought they were above the law, and who’s been hiding behind power.
