So when you read about eight members of an NBC News Team being beaten by Israeli settlers today in the West Bank, it's important to note two things:

1. The settler wouldn't do this to Americans had they not received a green light from the Israeli gov.
2. Israel's gov would not have given such a green light unless it felt confident that the US gov - and Amb. Huckabee - wouldn't lift a finger to defend the Americans.

BREAKING: Doug Ford just unveiled a massive sign reading “Lake Ontario Now and Always” on the shoreline of Lake Ontario.

Trump would hate it if this went viral.

Trump just illegally cut down SIXTY historic cherry trees in Washington WITHOUT court authorization in order to “renovate” a GOLF COURSE!

We already know that he is obsessed with destroying everything good in this world… But we must not become accustomed to this lawlessness and desecration.

The Washington Post reported that Trump ordered dozens of beloved cherry and sycamore trees to be cut down at the historic East Potomac Golf Links, driven by an obsessive desire to leave his destructive mark on every part of the nation’s capital.

Trump has provided neither a final design, nor a construction schedule, nor a cost estimate for the planned “renovation” of the course.

Environmental groups filed a lawsuit seeking to stop him, and the litigation is ongoing.

Federal Judge Ana C. Reyes said that she “would appreciate advance notice before the government removes more than 10 trees or brings equipment larger than a passenger vehicle onto the property” — yet Trump’s team did not do so.

“A person familiar with the litigation, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation, said the government did not notify the plaintiffs or the court about the recent tree work,” The Washington Post reported.

Although this episode may seem minor compared with the enormous list of Trump’s outrageous actions and alleged wrongdoing, it is painfully symbolic of his presidency: nihilistic destruction and a shocking disregard for the rule of law.

Trampling the law is his credo.

Trump just cut down cherry trees gifted to the united states by Japan in 1912.

The court said he couldn't and he did it anyway.

He testing the people to see what he can get away with.

Think about this, Todd Blanche, Kash Patel, Pam Bondy and a thousand FBI agents have seen famous old men and probably Trump r*pe children. How do you compartmentalize that?

And when the tapes come out and the unredacted files which they will, and the 1700 photographs that were on for all of Epstein mansion are finally revealed people listen to the survivors, and they will know they were telling the truth. They aren’t going anywhere!!!!!!

🚨Meet “Follower of Christ” and anti-LGBTQ Trump supporter Dale Nixon of Kenosha, WI who was just arrested on allegations he s*xually abused a child hundreds of times.

A former youth church volunteer, Nixon spent years online lecturing strangers about “Biblical truth,” calling abortion “cruel,” and insisting homosexuality is a sin that people need to “repent” of and “turn away from.”

Now he’s charged with child enticement, s*xual assault, inc*st, and causing mental harm to a child — after his adopted daughter, now 17, told Kenosha Police he assaulted her as often as 5 times a week for about 5 years, starting when she was 10 years old.

She estimates roughly 260 incidents total; investigators say the real number could be higher.

The alleged abuse happened at the family home and during trips to Cancun and Sedona, and reportedly continued until winter 2025.

When Kenosha Police asked him on August 25 if he knew about the allegations, the complaint says he paused, took a breath, and answered “maybe” while nodding yes.

He’s due in court for his initial appearance on September 3.

Nixon spent a decade online telling LGBTQ people they’re the sinners, told a trans actor Elliot Page to check “where the real hate is coming from” when he criticized the hate coming from right-wing Christians, cheered on far-right lawmakers Scott Walker and Paul Ryan, and called birth control access “handouts.”

Family values, indeed.

Police were called to Samuel Saxon’s home 23 times in eighteen months for domestic violence. He kept his badge the whole time.

An ICE assistant field office director in Cincinnati, Saxon had been abusing his partner for at least eight years — strangling her repeatedly, breaking her nose, and breaking her pelvis so badly it needed surgery.

On December 5, 2025, a witness watched him drag her into their apartment in a chokehold and heard her screaming. Police found bruises across her chest.

Investigators then caught him lying about it to a federal agent — he claimed he’d only spoken to her by phone that day. A witness’s video proved otherwise. He pleaded guilty to that federal charge and is awaiting sentencing; he still faces trial on the underlying assault and strangulation charges, to which he’s pleaded not guilty.

He spent 20 years as an ICE supervisor. As of this month, he no longer is.

It’s hard to imagine many people having a bigger impact than Dolly Parton. Born in a one-room cabin, she earned 11 Grammys and an Emmy, built a business empire, helped millions of kids learn to read, and — as if that wasn’t enough — helped accelerate the research that led to the Moderna COVID vaccine. What a life. Michelle and I are thinking of Dolly’s family and her many, many fans.

4 days ago The Pentagon fired the editor in chief of Stars and Stripes.

Yesterday they broke the story of Elsie Dominguez, a civilian engineer who was raped repeatedly by the Captain of a Navy ship she was on.

They keep trying to silence the press.
