The Miami Herald takes a look at how Trump protégé and high-end model promoter Paolo Zampolli used his White House pull to have his former partner, Brazilian supermodel Amanda Ungaro, arrested and deported. A perfect snap shot of the corrupt abuse of power by men against women in the Age of Trump.

Amazing that in the national divorce the libs are getting the NFL, butter and cooking oil, being attracted to adult women, standup comedy, Bud Light, and now also Catholicism
You always have to pay attention to what is actually happening, not what Trump says is happening. Because Trump lies about everything. Too often media serves as Trump’s daily stenographer, passing along his propaganda verbatim.
Kash Patel’s colleagues are alarmed by what they say is erratic behavior and excessive drinking, Sarah Fitzpatrick reports. More than two dozen people she spoke with described his management failures and conduct that could harm national security. theatln.tc/SS6krazR
Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Remind you of anyone?

YouTube is now banning the Iranian propaganda Lego videos.
Google changed their map to show "Gulf of America" on day 1, so it is not overly surprising.
The Republican regime has both the carrot (your tax $$$) and the stick (anti-trust actions).

The Supreme Court is fundamentally corrupt & after the NYT reporting there's a big opening for Democrats to make a huge stink about the shadow docket and that it was born to stop the first Black POTUS's climate agenda. We must talk about how the shadow docket has become a racially weaponized tool.
Amodei is desperate for investor cash and he has to hype his product, but I wouldn't be too worried:
AI in its present form is at best a somewhat useful tool, but it's unlikely to replace humans any time soon.

Stephen Miller almost says that Trump is seeking a "final solution" in Iran but then catches himself
I think I zeroed in on my issue with Tom Steyer. Curious if anyone else feels this.
It's not JUST that he's a billionaire and has more power than most.
It's that these billionaires never take the steps. Why not run for a house seat, and spend a few years showing your
priorities?

Twenty-nine people have died in ICE custody since October, the start of the federal government's fiscal year, already surpassing 2004's toll of 28, the previous record, according to government data.
“After going on a passive house tour led by a neighbor … Cheng became part of a small but growing group that meets once a week to support one another with rebuilding energy-efficient, all-electric homes. A former JPL engineer, he has decided to become a passive house consultant.”

Jen Psaki looks at examples of behavior by Donald Trump that would have had right-wing politicians and commentators apoplectic with outrage if President Obama had done the same, and the shameless hypocrisy of critics of President Obama's deal-making with Iran.
Genuine question: after 6 weeks of bombing Iran, the US has almost run out of Tomahawk missiles, and their Navy is running out of food. Car companies are being asked to make weapons. Other public spending is being slashed to bits. What the hell is their $1 trillion a year military budget spent on?
"The Strait of Hormuz had 'returned to its previous state' and 'is under the strict management and control of the Armed Forces,' Iran’s military command said Saturday, according to a statement published by Iranian state-backed media."

Iran Parliament Speaker: “Trump lied 7 times in an hour”
Now that we’re embroiled in war with Iran, it’s time we check in on this again.
Name one thing Trump has done that was not beneficial to Putin.
The worst possible tactic you can use when negotiating a deal with a regime like Iran is to dunk on them in public during negotiations. Any knowledgeable seasoned diplomat knows this. But we have Mr. Art of the Deal who needs to feed his cult and the markets a steady diet of BS.
