Good that Trump has stood down. But he has also almost certainly overstated how close we are to a deal and has definitely lied about the benefits to the US and the region of his reckless and illegal war.
two weeks, that will give Donald Trump just enough time to finish writing his healthcare plan
Two pilots dead at LaGuardia. A lone controller managing two simultaneous emergencies. The FAA is 3,000 controllers short. We will blame the human. We should fix the system.

Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way.

Last night, Trump, who consistently makes decisions that enrich himself and his donors, had the audacity to complain about corruption in Washington as if he's not at the center of it.
As @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social said: does he not understand or is he just shining us on?
I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws.
You know, like a democracy.
The cover-up just never ends. Rest in peace, Ruben Ray Martinez.
NEW: Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker sent Trump a letter and an invoice demanding the return of $8.6 billion taken from Illinois families after the Supreme Court ruled Trump’s tariffs are illegal.
Katyal: "I was able to go to court - the son of immigrants-- & say on behalf of small businesses, 'Hey, this president is acting illegally.' I was able to present my case, have them ask really hard questions, & at the end of it they voted & we won. That is something extraordinary about this country"
$10B for Trump's "Board of Peace"
$10B for Trump's IRS lawsuit
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation"
$135M for Trump's golf outings
The Grifter-in-Chief knows no bounds.
As the world reels from the president's rant and threats of additional tariff chaos, I'd just like to remind the UK that they recently arrested someone who could probably bring down this entire house of cards with very little incentive.
Eligible voters of the United States!

Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.
We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.
Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.
If the goal were truly public safety, the numbers would look very different. Minneapolis won’t be silent while enforcement actions target innocent families. www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-arr...
Everyone should listen to this. Something has to happen. The Epstein saga feels like a horror movie already, but it's so much worse.
“Epstein was convicted in 2008 of procuring a child for prostitution. He was a registered level 3 (highest risk of re-offending) sex offender in New York after 2010. Everyone emailing him and hanging out with him after that did so knowing he was a child sex trafficker.”

This is incredible. Sound up.
This five year old is still in jail
“This is a preschool you stupid motherf*ckers!”
(From Somali Snaps)
"Pretti was a U.S. citizen, born in Illinois. Like Good, court records showed he had no criminal record and his family said he had never had any interactions with law enforcement beyond a couple of traffic tickets."

“It is legal to film ‘law enforcement’ doing ‘their job’ in all 50 states, so if you see ICE cowards in their masks, whip out your phone and let the world know what’s being done in our name.”

ICE has now killed a white man and white woman.
Both citizens.
It isn't just immigrants, brown folks, Black folks, pro Palestinian activists and Muslims.
If this doesn't wake up "white moderates" and privileged centrists, then...all I can say is good luck.
CW: EXTREME VIOLENCE
PLEASE DO NOT WATCH THIS IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE TO VIOLENT IMAGES
I'm very glad this video has been found and the woman appears to be okay
Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)
From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now):
-If you work for ICE.
-If you vote for money for ICE.
You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.
NEW VIDEO: LET FREEDOM WIN 🗽
Over the last year, Trump showed us the horrors of unchecked power.
Enough is enough.
In 2026, we fight back.
We vote.
We let freedom win!

Rod Stewart calls out “draft dodger” Trump for denigrating the service of allied combat vets, and says that PM Keir Starmer must insist that Trump publicly apologize.
For some reason, Trump said his tariffs would bring costs down for Americans. But the data shows what you already know: Americans are bearing 96% of the tariff burden. That's $200 billion coming straight out of our pockets because of him.

I will just keep repeating. I have never never never seen anything like this. 30 years of reporting.
