This was the front page they chose the day Donald Trump said he'll jail his political opponents if he wins the White House.

[Fix Media Now (by the Media and Democracy Project) @FixMediaNow]

A 🧵the @nytimes is failing to warn Americans of the harms & danger of Trump & the impacts of another Republican-manufactured #GovernmentShutdown
Instead today NYT devotes 25% of its #FrontPage to its fashion critic to whitewash the criminal Trump clan

Wow! What sounded like the entire AEW Dynamite audience in Las Vegas tonight chanted "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE!" in unison before the main event

[Sam Stein @samstein]

Absolutely insane chart and entirely self-inflicted. RFK Jr.'s legacy taking shape

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

So it turns out that the bribe that got Trump to sell the UAE advance artificial intelligence chips is WAY bigger than we knew. It's not just that MGX facilitated a $2b purchase with Trump's stablecoin. The UAE actually bought 49% of his whole fucking crypto company!

Today DNI Tulsi Gabbard is coordinating Trump's FBI raids in Georgia (to support his debunked 2020 election conspiracy theories) and Kristi Noem has masked federal troops terrorizing Minnesota, killing peaceful US citizens on live TV.

America, what the fuck are we doing here?

[Chris Talbot @talbotchris]

DHS and the DNI position were created in response to September 11th. Protecting Americans from terrorism. Coordinating intelligence. Securing the homeland.

[Chris Talbot @talbotchris]

Foreign invasions and now masked stormtroopers killing civilians in American towns.

It’s been less than a year.

[Max Nesterak @maxnesterak]

A witness shared this video with me showing an ICE officer shooting a driver in an SUV in south Minneapolis. DHS says the woman is dead.

On a list full of all timers, “This is not regime change” is the absolute dumbest bullshit these goons have tried to get the American people to swallow

You can almost hear the difference

Check out this perspective from Tom Brady. A little about college football, but mostly it's about mental toughness, competition, and self belief.

"I wouldn't want it any other way."

Same #GoBlue

[The Winged Helmet @TWH_Chris]

Would Tom Brady have stayed at Michigan in today’s portal/NIL era? His answer is worth a listen.

@mmpadellan Trump is the WARS PRESIDENT.

Trump: 626+ military strikes in 11 months on 7 countries.

(nearly 100 more than Biden's full 4 years)

[Chris Talbot @talbotchris]

This scans. Trump slammed Canada with tariffs after watching a *television commercial*

Our country is run by a fragile, narcissistic kindergartener: President Snowflake

[Josh Billinson @jbillinson]

The New York Times reports that this is what finally pushed Trump to send Delta Force to storm Caracas and abduct Maduro:

[Will Jordan @williamjordann]

Amazing archive grab here. WaPo poll out this morning compares support for the Maduro grab (40% approval, -2 on net) to their polling on Noriega back in 1990 (82% approve, +65 on net)

[Chris Talbot @talbotchris]

The 60 Minutes kill job is a clusterfuck. Other than pulling Jimmy Kimmel, I’ve never seen media observers, producers, investors & advertisers so uniform in their consensus that this was a terrible idea, badly executed.

So much damage to undo. OTOH, do the Ellisons even care?

[John Anzalone @JohnAnzo]

Healthcare costs are going to be a dominant issue in the midterm elections and this new @Gallup poll should be read by every Democratic candidate and operative

70% believe healthcare is in "crisis" or a "major problem"

[Ken Bensinger @kenbensinger]

In a dramatic turnabout, the Justice Dept asked to dismiss its case against two defendants convicted in the FIFA corruption case (Hernan Lopez & Full Play Group)

Lopez had been seeking cert from SCOTUS.

DOJ gave no explanation other than it was in the "interests of justice."

[Chris Talbot @talbotchris]

@Johnubacon 100% true, at the same time: we now have two of the best young coaches in the country leading Ice Hockey and Men's Basketball to simultaneous #1 rankings

[Paige Gebhardt Cognetti @PaigeGCognetti]

Dr. Oz and Rob Bresnahan are rolling into Scranton today to talk about the health care crisis they're making worse.

Bresnahan voted for the biggest Medicaid cuts in our lifetime -- and Oz is the guy swinging the axe.

Our community deserves so much better than these two hacks.

[Chris Talbot @talbotchris]

Damn I was actually excited to watch the World Cup draw but this Trump fealty show is just beyond pathetic…

[Chris Talbot @talbotchris]

Van Epps' margin in TN-07 looks like it'll be ~7 in a district Trump won by 22, a 15% swing to Dems:

Republicans are protecting FIFTY districts they won by 15% or less in 2024.

Including 17 districts within 5%.

A win's a win but this was not a good night for GOP midterm vibes
