To be clear: it is unambiguously good for Americans to be protesting ICE.

Republicans keep characterizing it as bad. But protesting against tyranny and abuses of power is a great American tradition. It is similar to what is happening - and being celebrated - this week in Iran.

Golden Rule of MAGA Era:

- If we win: Election was clean and fair.

- If we lose: election was stolen riddled with fraud that we can’t prove but we know happened.

[Frank Luntz @FrankLuntz]

It’s 2026 and 63% of Republicans still believe 2020 election was “stolen” from Donald Trump.

By comparison, only 9% of Democrats and 21% of independents say Trump lost in 2020 due to election fraud.

“A mythomaniac is a clinical and literary term for an extreme pathological liar. It describes someone whose lies are grand, deeply embedded in their identity, and told with complete, unbenched confidence.”

[David French @DavidAFrench]

This is unhinged. If a family member behaved this way, you'd worry about them. If a CEO behaved like this, the board would meet. He's living in an alternate reality and furious when a person won't indulge his fantasies.

[Jonah Goldberg @JonahDispatch]

Maybe because he literally just put an entirely unqualified political hatchet man in charge of the DNI — while we’re at war — and the only reason he could give was that he would look into the “stolen” election bullshit? He’s making hugely important decisions based on a lie. That seems worth paying attention to. He also tried to set up a compensation fund for people who, inspired by his promulgation of that lie, laid siege to the Capitol. Oh and the only legislation he cares about is all wrapped up in his delusions about how elections are stolen. I can keep coming up with reasons. But the fact that the president still thinks his lie should drive policy and personnel (several J6ers work in the administration) that makes it relevant, imho.

The picture on the left is from 2012 when the filter was broken.

The picture on the right is AI generated.

That's the issue in this Presidency, everything is based on lies, even the most trivial of things.

[ProPublica @propublica]

A group of lawmakers demanded answers from the White House this week following a ProPublica investigation revealing that a top aide to the president initiated a $620 million loan from the Pentagon to a startup linked to Donald Trump Jr.

Our president tried to steal an election. Unlawfully. Lives were lost, cops were beaten. The president is deeply anti American in many respects. And people who know better pretend that opposition to him is derangement, rather than courage, or more importantly, truth.

[Anna Bower @AnnaBower]

NEWS: A @lawfare report finds that *97* Jan. 6ers who received clemency for their role in the attack were arrested, charged, or convicted of subsequent crimes—a number much higher than previously reported.

Incredible work from Katherine Pompilio:

@KenGardner11 In the MAG era, if you care about those things, the only sane vote is for Democrats.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.

More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.

And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.

Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.

The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.

Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.

We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

More than half of the publicly identified donors to President Trump’s White House ballroom project have won new or expanded federal contracts worth more than $50 billion, according to a report from a government watchdog group. https://t.co/wEAqxMA7AG

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

By firing Scott Pelley, editor-in-chief of CBS News Bari Weiss has single-handedly destroyed the most brilliant investigative newsmagazine in network history, 60 Minutes. Weiss exemplifies everything MAGA is about: ego, incompetence, and blithering idiocy.

[CryptoFire @CryptoFireAI]

@greggnunziata Her winning increases the chances of no checks on Trump. A bad thing. Checking Trump is what matters right now.

[CryptoFire @CryptoFireAI]

@greggnunziata If you can’t see right wing bias in Supreme Court justices, you are being intentionally oblivious.

Your say it’s an attack on the constitution to call out this flagrant bias. No. The flagrant bias is the attack on the constitution. You should be calling out the justices.

One of the last, few by-the-books journalists.

This is a real loss for America.

[Ruth Ben-Ghiat @ruthbenghiat]

This is not politics as usual.

We’ve never had an openly authoritarian leader in office. Nor have we had a party totally subservient to their leader.

We must resist as such during these not normal times.

[Tara Setmayer 🌻 🇺🇸 @TaraSetmayer]

This is a damn shame.
Trump has now ruined America 250.

Totally on brand for the Corruptor in Chief.
