Donald Trump is mentally deranged. He’s a danger to the U.S. He’s a danger to the globe. He does not belong in this position of power—in control of the massive U.S. military—and he should be removed from office. This is not a joke. And his GOP enablers are responsible for abdicating their duty.

What an absolutely fascinating, well-reported story. Gift link. https://t.co/l4WihgDYut

“The appearance of federal law enforcement agents on the doorstep of news reporters should shock the conscience of any American who believes in the Constitution and the press freedom it protects.”

- David McCraw, NYT top newsroom lawyer, in a statement on Friday evening.

I’ve watched the right adopt language the left developed on campus. The idea is that speech can be punished if it might lead to harm someday. We’ve tried that before. It was called the bad tendency test. Under that logic, nothing is protected.

When there's no prosecution of the agents who shot Renee Good and Alex Pretti, there will be more shootings, more innocent people killed for no reason.

ICE claimed that Lorenzo Salgado Araujo drove his van into one of their SUVs and later attempted to run an ICE agent over. The first thing our local media pointed out was the lack of damage on Araujo’s van. One of the best investigative journalists in Houston, Jeremy Rogalski, found surveillance camera footage showing ICE ramming the van minutes before shots were fired.

The ICE story is already falling apart.

CUT Ebola research. Now theres a huge outbreak

SCRAPPED the unit dealing with cruise ship outbreaks. Then Hantavirus happened

DISSOLVED the CDC dept for Parasitic Disease. Now there's a huge outbreak of cyclospora - parasite that causes diarrhea.

He's a menace

Travelers react react to Palm Beach Airport being renamed after Donald Trump:

"I think it's patently absurd that we're spending taxpayer money to rename an airport after a criminal that's sitting in the White House."

"It's disgusting, ridiculous, pompous and a lot of other bad things. I do not like it at all."

[Ryan Goodman @rgoodlaw]

"The three men who were arrested during an immigration operation that resulted in the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo said a federal officer fired at them almost immediately after exiting his vehicle and that at no point did the driver veer in his direction."

[sam @sam_d_1995]

this is a perfect example of the political double standard that republicans benefit from: Democrats have never denied disaster aid for red states, and it would be a massive scandal if they did

… but Trump does it and it’s barely a story because he does corrupt stuff every day

This comes less than four months before the midterm elections. Elements of the Trump admin have been for a year discussing ways to find ways to bypass the EAC on certain things - like voting machine system updates/ changes.

#ELB: BREAKING: “Trump fires all Election Assistance Commission members, leaving agency unable to act” (This is going to be a BFD if Trump Tries to Assert the EAC’s Powers over the Federal Voter Registration Form) https://t.co/kmX2Nc8LQD

@rinsana @NickTimiraos Surely a Trump ask.

The Death of Renee Good Has Yet to Be Properly Investigated:

Six months after she and Alex Pretti were shot on the streets of Minneapolis, little has come of the probes into their killings https://t.co/vYCchrDG5n

@kaitlancollins Better to ask sitting senators. After sitting on his hands while whole country watched aghast at Biden disaster unfolding why is Schumer still leader?

Pretty bleak article for a lot of reasons, but the big thing that stood out to me as a teacher is how schools are actively making the reading crisis worse by reducing the number of books they assign in high schools.

A US appeals court on Wednesday rejected President Donald Trump's request to have his name restored to the facade of the Kennedy Center while he fights its removal. https://t.co/qNUyJEGi5e

The US is getting ready to spend a billion dollars to get rid of screwworms because Doge canceled the $300 million dollar contract to control them. Doge should pay the full amount with penalities not us taxpayers.
