And then of course he says multiple times, “one last question for the Prime Minister, for the PM? ok go ahead” - and then as she’s starting to speak he jumps in to answer it!!! WTAF even for this guy.
I couldn’t believe what i was seeing. And i didn’t think the Tangerine Palpatine could surprise me with anything. Watching her face try to not show reaction…. and then the reporter asking the last question sounded incredibly upset and i assume it was because of that horrendously offensive idiocy.
Franklin Foer discusses the war that has been meticulously planned for thirty years and is now being carried out by people who didn't bother to examine any of those studies or plans. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...
“The revenge of the obvious” is going to sum up a lot about this whole administration.
This needs so much more coverage. Please help shine more light on this. I didn’t even know there was a Military Religious Freedom Foundation.

The only things we can know for certain sure here are that 47 doesn’t care one whit about our service people, that he will mishandle this at every possible turn, and that he will continue to lie about it up one side and out the other.
#SendBarron and then come back and talk to us.
And 2., said veterans and sitting senators and representatives who simply reminded active duty service members that they don’t and mustn’t obey illegal orders, should be charged with sedition and executed. No one does that who isn’t planning to issue a butt ton of illegal orders.
And let’s not ever forget this is the guy who 1. absolutely disrespected our veterans in so many ways, including misusing Arlington and “I like people who don’t get captured” and “Why would they risk their lives?” as well as gutting VA programs and medical resources….
Maybe someone in the cabinet has a plan for Iran, but i’d guess the only plans Agent Orange has are 1. distract from Epstein files; 2. try to use being at war to quash protest and voting; 3. feel powerful by blowing stuff and people up; & 4. use up weapons so his arms manufacturer donors can profit.
Watching the starting montage of his favorite word, i thought, he loves it because it’s code for “shakedown” in his mafia-boss mind. “Tariff” to him means “pay me personal tribute and if you displease me in any way, you’ll pay more.” It’s like a mafia “insurance” racket.
Great segment, that’s how i heard about you just now, as i’m sure many others will too. Thank you for doing this work.
Also see Rachel Maddow’s show tonight, major segment on this and interview. Very very important.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he did it deliberately to distract from Epstein (and ICE, the economy, etc). He’s much more comfortable with reporter questions about racism - the tell is how calmly he responds, like he’s in control of this narrative, as opposed to the anger and nastiness for those.
Regardless of one’s feeling about it, such a public response to a political leader is news, and deliberately failing to mention it is self-censorship. It’s like if reporters agreed not to report on the man who threw a shoe at George Bush. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
@chrislhayes.bsky.social Chance that Agent Orange deliberately did the horrendously racist video to distract from the Epstein files? He’d rather have people yelling at him about the racism instead of the sex crimes?
I hope your interview with @nancyerikasmith will be posted here as a clip that can be shared. She called it 100% like it is on all counts and in some ways that are not often heard these days but are so essential to understanding the situation.
@nancyerikasmith.bsky.social Thank you for your appearance on The Beat on MS-Now. Hardly anyone brings up all that context and history, and it’s the most relevant to the perversion of the justice department into the criminal president’s personal law agency and his support of all other rapists.
This is true, Kennedy Center closing July 4th, 2026. Everything he touches turns to shit.
This is JFK’s grandson’s response to Trump closing down the Kennedy Center.
And a deliberate spit in the face of congress, the rule of law, human decency, and the rights of survivors.
It would explain a lot if Clarence Thomas was in those files. Certainly some of the guys giving him huge bribes are. And he’s shown that’s who he works for, not the American people.
It’s deliberate for sure. They’ve been going through the files for how long? Redacting 45 and cronies while 1) claiming they need more time to redact survivor info and 2) actually exposing survivors far beyond what actual incompetence could have produced. It’s malicious “compliance” with the law.
and be completely on brand with what Anita Hill revealed all those years ago. Rapists protecting rapists gave us 47 with supposed immunity to all these crimes, Kavanaugh, Hegseth… there’s a through line from letting rapists have power to destroying literally everything good.
They’re scoffing in the face of the law, congress, and the courts along with the survivors who should matter most of all but are treated like they don’t matter at all. They do matter, and deserve truth and justice.
Want to bet Clarence Thomas is in there in a big way? That would explain a lot…
It’s not a failure, it’s deliberate malicious “compliance” with the law, and the most obvious lie (which is really saying something with this DOJ). It’s deliberate punishment of survivors for pushing for justice. They’ve been going through all this for ages, protecting 45 and cronies, not survivors.
Wow. This is a great opportunity for the NFL to take a stand. Seattle and LA both will be strong about keeping ICE away from their biggest game. The Super Bowl is a lot more popular than rethuglicans right now. Imagine the loss of $$ if they say “No game happens unless ICE is kept safely away”.
Damn right.
