What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?
I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.
I hope lawyers, secretaries of state, and state attorneys general are preparing for what’s coming.
Exactly right. Miles just laid it out plainly and suddenly the story snapped into focus. When the facts line up this cleanly, the denial doesn’t matter. This is why independent reporting still scares the hell out of them.
This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

Trump goes on bizarre tangents in National Prayer Breakfast speech
Just confirmed it myself by viewing the video on Truth Social. This is real. He really did this and he has not deleted it.
Only weeks ago, Trump spoke in support of Iranians bravely risking their lives in the fight for freedom. Now, his team are negotiating with the same regime that has brutally suppressed these protests. Should they be?
Trump’s PayPal Mafia crypto czar David Sacks tried to use Americans’ tax money to prevent a crypto crash and protect his and his friends’ assets by creating a crypto reserve.

Trump's mania to erect monuments to himself will soon, quickly (and gloriously) be undone
Johnny Carson once said the fastest measurable unit of time is that which elapses between when a light turns green in NY and someone honks their horn. But the speed with which Trump's name will be torn off his monuments to himself when he's gone will be greater.

Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast: "We hit 'em. And we want to hit 'em right, sir, and we want to hit them from the top! East, west, north, south. Sir, they won't know what the hell! And we'll knock them out. We did it politically correct. Five years."
This is precisely what happened to the transcript of the Zelensky call that led to Trump’s first impeachment. They stashed it in a code-word classified system for political reasons.
The whistleblower complaint against Gabbard was allegedly that info was being classified for political reasons.
Now seems like a good time for the intelligence community IG to have its own FOIA office so you don't have to submit your requests for IG records through DNI headquarters first.

This should be a bigger story.
