What if US leaders had said the same when Germany marched on Warsaw - though not Boston of course - in 1939? Administration officials increasingly dismiss European security as entirely detached from U.S. security.

"Trump & Vance are making clear that they consider it their right, and their pleasure, to murder anyone, anywhere, for any reason or for no beyond a passing whim. That’s an ugly message to Venezuelans. It’s an ugly message to the UN & Americans as well." publicnotice.co/p/trump-venezu…

Trump/MAGA are trying to gaslight us into believing that anti-Jimmy Kimmel America is vast and deep, that MAGA's grip on the culture is unshakable, that mobilization is futile. This episode has demonstrated the opposite. Let's not forget it. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/200821…
He did nothing wrong, nothing illegal, nothing criminal. Really.
BREAKING: The DOJ is expected to indict former FBI Director James Comey, who Trump has vowed to seek revenge on. If the indictment proceeds, it would mark an escalation in Trump’s weaponization of the DOJ against his political adversaries. democracydocket.com/news-alerts/tr…
“MAGA believes that all Venezuelans, foreigners, and/or all non-white people, are by definition second class humans at best and guilty of being outsiders and traitors to MAGA at worst.”

Trump calls Kamala Harris "DUMB AS A ROCK" and says he "expect[s] an apology" from her (for comments she made that are in fact accurate)
There's no scenario — none — where WH staff isn't overseeing the prompter. Physical scrolling is typically handled by military personnel from the Comms Agency who train for years. A WH staffer *always* runs the show. As a former WH speechwriter, this is my only area of expertise.

On Monday, the IDF gunned down and killed five starving people trying to collect aid, and injured 24 others. In total, the IDF has now killed nearly 3,000 people at food distribution points, and injured an astounding 20,000. No, we won’t give you our aid.
yes, ironically: Comey showcasing doubts about Hillary Clinton's qualifications for president virtually on the eve of the election, when he certainly knew that Clinton was far more qualified than T***p for the presidency, helped to lead us into T***pDarkAge. what was the man…

"But assuming you decide to move forward with the Comey case—you face an immediate problem: What should you charge him with?" Benjamin Wittes and @AnnaBower delve into the Trump administration's push to prosecute James Comey and the weaknesses of a case against him.
The US government allowed the Syrian president into New York this week for the UN General Assembly - while blocking the Palestinian president from coming - but forgot to delete their tweet calling him a terrorist and offering a $10m reward for his capture. 🤦🏽♂️

Increasingly indisputable and an increasing conundrum for old-school media that don’t want to state this plainly or apply their own journalistic standards as they would to other sources with a track record of deception and/or inaccuracy.
Benny Gantz confirms in the @nytimes that the problem is not Netanyahu but Israel's "national consensus"
puritans always want to punish other people "for their own good." if suicide is so repellent to you, why not try to bring into existence a society in which troubled people are treated with compassion, politicians genuinely care for their constituents, & good health care is…

An undercover journalist blew her cover when she appeared on a popular primetime cable news show. 🤷♀️ Fox producers recycled old footage from Portland, OR as she talked about protesters in NYC. The only political group that violently tried to change an election is MAGA.
