Trump ordered the FBI to find out who leaked the truth about his Qatari jet.
Within 24 hours, his own leak investigation leaked.
You can’t write a better metaphor for this administration. Too corrupt to hide it & too incompetent to cover it up.

It’s not complicated. Trump doesn’t believe in democracy.
He hates democratic Europe and loves the oligarchic dictatorships in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar.
He wants to stifle dissent in the media and arrest his opponents.
ALL Americans must unify against authoritarianism.
Compassionate human beings should not tolerate this.
People who claim to be pro-life should be brought to tears.
Those espousing family values should be fully incensed.
Anyone with children of their own whom they love should be sick to their stomachs.
Men and women of every faith should be unequivocally condemning this.
People of conscience and morality should be unable to sleep.
Good people ought to be fully heartbroken.
What I.C.E is doing to brown-skinned people is a crime.
It’s a sin.
It’s intentionally cruel.
It is blatantly inhumane.
It’s not pro-life.
It’s not Christian.
It’s not making America great.
It is evil by any measure decent people use.
And the good people here should not tolerate it a single second longer.

Republican Rep. Tom Kean Jr. took four months off from Congress, fully paid, to treat depression. Time and again, he’s voted against paid sick leave legislation.
What a goddamn hypocrite. 😡

In wake of Sister Letty’s detainment and confiscation of her rosary, Brownsville’s Bishop Flores speaks out: “protocols that make it possible for a religious sister, or anyone, to be detained and handcuffed while peacefully walking to Church on a Sunday morning are wildly disturbing.”
WWII Veteran and Purple Heart recipient Robert Hilliard:
"Next week I'll be 101 years old. In February 1944 when I was 18 years old I was inducted into the army and what they taught me to do there was to kill people who set up detention camps. Can you imagine how I felt earlier this year when they announced that one of the future detention camps would be at that same camp landing in Florida? We have a fascist, a fascist government, that allows innocent people to be put in detention camps and incarcerated."

Pope Leo at Mass opening Extraordinary Consistory: “War is never worthy of humanity, and it is never blessed by God, because, even if we are equipped with high-tech weapons, the Creator has endowed us with intelligence and free will to resolve conflicts as human beings and not as beasts.” https://t.co/MCHhsoAowT
We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas
James Talarico: “Real men don’t lie and cheat their way through life. They don’t enrich themselves by stealing from other people. They don’t sell their soul to the highest bidder. Real men serve others, weak men serve themselves”
To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.
Pope Leo at Sagrada Familia: “We cannot believe in Jesus and make war. We cannot believe in Jesus and kill the innocent. We cannot believe in Jesus and abandon those who suffer, those who weep, those who flee from misery.”
I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”
Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.
🚨 HEARTBREAKING: Scott Pelley Sounded Like A Man Attending A Funeral.
Not for a person.
For a profession.
🔥 That’s why his defense of journalism hit so hard.
Scott Pelley confirmed on the record that CBS management ordered him to “inject falsehoods” into 60 Minutes coverage.
He named Bari Weiss directly. He said she was brought in to neutralize independent journalism inside the network.
He told 60 Minutes’ new leadership she was “murdering the show.”
Pelley spent 24 years at CBS News.
He just put his name on the record against the institution that built his career.
The Paramount-Skydance merger closed.
The new ownership installed Weiss. Pelley is the most senior on-air voice at CBS News describing what’s happening inside.
This is what institutional capture sounds like from inside the institution.
It's funny how the female reporter is just sitting there all calm while the man who told you that a woman is too emotional to be president is having a full blown crash out on national TV.
