President Trump on Jamal Khashoggi, who the CIA determined was ordered to be killed by Saudi Crown Prince MBS:
"You're mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen."
Q: "How comfortable are you with the president apparently seeking $230 million from the DOJ?"
Johnson: "I don't know the details about that...I know that he believes he's owed that reimbursement...They attack him for everything he does...They have Trump Derangement Syndrome."
Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

Christian nationalism is one of the first steps on the road to fascism. At a recent London far-right rally, Christian preachers tore up flags that said “Secular Humanism” and “No Religion, "part of a growing movement to fuse politics with religion, roll back rights, and silence non-religious voices.
The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

The royal family and the UK government know nothing works on Donald J. Trump like shameless flattery.
The Supreme Court just made it easier for ICE to stop you … for being brown. The Court sided with ICE, letting them continue targeting people based on race, language, where they are, or the kind of work they do. This ruling is a setback, but it’s not the end.
