“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist.”
― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism
Trump returns to NYC tonight for the Knicks game, a city he is banned from operating a business in because a judge found him liable for major financial fraud.
The biggest story in America is a president who has completely lost touch with reality. Who thinks the FBI let all the January 6 rioters into the Capitol, that he really won the 2020 election, that the Iran War is going well. Who, when occasionally confronted w reality, panics.
If you think California is taking a long time to count votes... wait until you hear how long the Trump Administration is taking to release the Epstein Files
Our soldiers quickly captured two enemy columns of armored vehicles, including modern T-72B3s and even T-90Ms. Instead of simply blowing up the tanks, they did something the Russians certainly did not expect.
Ukrainian crews got into the captured Russian tanks, switched on the radios, adopted the Russians' call signs, and set off on a deep raid behind enemy lines, posing as friendly forces.
The Russian columns moved calmly, believing they were safe. Our tank crews quickly neutralized the original crews, mastered the equipment, and blended into the Russian traffic flow. They spoke Russian over the radio, used the correct call signs, and imitated the style of Russian communications. At checkpoints, they were waved through without suspicion: "Go ahead, guys."
The Ukrainians then calmly drove straight onto the grounds of a Russian brigade headquarters.
Once inside, they suddenly turned their turrets and opened fire. The headquarters, supply depots, and vehicle park were turned into an inferno within minutes. Russian troops ran in panic between tents, firing in every direction, but it was already too late. They had allowed a "Trojan horse" onto their own base.
The operation was carried out brilliantly. Ukrainian forces seized the headquarters, captured officers, destroyed key facilities, and withdrew with minimal losses.
Good god this is a crazy interview. Listen as Scott Pelley describes how Bari Weiss wanted journalists at CBS to cover the killing of Renee Good in Minnesota. This is why we can’t have oligarchs running our news outlets, this is absolutely devastating.
BREAKING: Ken Paxton’s own lawyer just endorsed James Talarico:
“I defended Ken Paxton for years in the impeachment trial and in state criminal cases. But in my view, I think Ken has lost sight of his core mission, which is to represent the people of Texas.
And unlike Ken, I believe that you, James, believe in unity over division and that you know how to assemble not only Democrats but Independents and Republicans and we need that right now.
We need unity, we don't need any more division and that's why I'm supporting you.”
Trump commits what would have been impeachable offenses for any other president with regularity. By avoiding conviction twice in his first term, he’s created a myth it’s pointless to attempt it again.
Donald Trump’s Hideous Tantrum: America’s Least Presidential President Crashes Out
It wasn’t owning the libs…it was emotional dysregulation and dementia manifesting in front of our eyes.

In the richest country on earth, 20% of our seniors should not be forced to live on $15,000 a year or less.
We must lift the cap on taxable income, increase Social Security benefits, and strengthen Social Security's solvency for generations to come.
Countdown: this Friday, the MAGA DOJ has to respond under oath to a federal court concern that DOJ slush fund lawyers committed a “fraud on the court.”
I’ve never heard of senior DOJ folks ever accused of such a thing.
Four days left!
Do not doubt that if a major pandemic hits, millions of Americans will die because of this grotesque man. And not a single person better say that we didn’t know it was coming. Alarm bells have been ringing *nonstop* that this sick buffoon will kill people. https://t.co/PUXZBHP2h2
The details about the Tate brothers in this @newyorker profile are as sick as anything you will ever read. They are rapists, pornographers, traffickers - and heroes to the "conservative" MAGA movement

This isn't about one slush fund or one president. I've introduced legislation to stop any president from using taxpayer money to bankroll their political allies and score a family sweeping Super Pardon.
Congress must act urgently to ban these ripoff schemes and collusive 'settlements.'
You should ask yourself why all of the people who are screeching about election fraud on social media are always unwilling to repeat these claims under oath.
Let me help you: it’s because they know they’re full of shit. The entire purpose is to keep people angry.
Acting AG Todd Blanche—formerly Donald Trump's personal lawyer—signed an order blocking the IRS from investigating the President, his family, and his businesses.
This may be valued at over $100 million.
I have a bill to stop this corruption.
