I know we’ve been talking about the 25th Amendment being invoked for years now, but we should probably be talking about it a lot more and a lot more seriously right now.
Couple of things here:

1. Trump says he took another cognitive test recently

2. In front of "large numbers of doctors and experts"

3. He called the examinations "long...and very boring"

4. If you're given 3 cognitive exams in one year by panels of doctors, something is VERY wrong with you

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

The right tore itself apart over Tucker Carlson’s interview with the white nationalist. Trump shrugged. Now he's everywhere.

Immigration restrictionists don’t want to just say “we’re doing it for racist reasons” so they feel compelled to make up economic reasons (this is from the new NSS) that only make sense if your underlying economic theories are terrible, and you end up being governed by morons.

The president is increasingly erratic, forgetting promises he made just days ago and lashing out angrily at reporters for asking routine questions.

Seems like the news should talk more about this

Come to think of it, Pete Hegseth just admitted openly that they're committing extrajudicial murders in international waters partly in order to please MAGA influencers that want retribution for political attacks on Pete Hegseth:
Sadism is the lifeblood of MAGA politics. Hard to overstate how disgusting and embarrassing for our country it is for the US Secretary of Defense to be doing this:

The U.S. Supreme Court: "ICE can racially profile people it arrests."

Also, the U.S. Supreme Court: "Texas can disenfranchise voters based on race."

Can we all agree that we currently have a white supremacist Supreme Court?

Not exactly the primary point here, but the fact that Trump likes Democrats if they're corrupt is an excellent reminder that Trump is also a terrible *Republican* lnk.thebulwark.com/3Kr7Jre

Look, people, there is no evidence that Senator Tom Cotton was caught pleasuring himself while watching the video of those survivors clinging to a portion of a wrecked boat until they were murdered by a second missile.

There's just no truth to that at all. Stop saying it.

The Republican hacks on SCOTUS start with whatever ruling will help their fellow Republican partisans and lazily work backwards from there, barely offering an excuse for their egregious hackery.

John Roberts keeps complaining no one respects them. Yeah, because we’re actually paying attention.
