A message to our political leaders:
You don't need to listen to your critics who claim the Tangerine Tyrant is not our friend... just read what his administration says in a report (explicitly endorsed by the President) says.
Its time to realise that Atlanticism is a false promise that leads only to disruption & political chaos caused by the normalisation of racism.
However, whether our political class care is another issue, though.

And here's Jonathan Freedland making a similarly point about the criminal enterprise that is the Court of the Tangerine Tyrant....

Trump’s Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy Once Defended Congress’ Power of the Purse. Now He Defies It.
---
As a congressman, Duffy made an impassioned legal case against executive overreach. A decade later, judges have used those same arguments to rebuke him for withholding billions in transportation funding.

"Immigration sweeps are expected to begin imminently in southern Louisiana. Protests have already begun."
~ Dan Froomkin
A Democratic-voting city with a Black female Democratic mayor — and probably not by chance, a city in which the roots of a biracial pope who has been outspoken in defending immigrants and other vulnerable people lie.

Costco wouldn't back down on DEI, and now it's going up against the Trump administration, suing on the grounds that Trump overstepped his emergency powers by imposing tariffs — and asking for a refund. Here's more from @CNN on what Costco said in the lawsuit, and the handful of other companies that are separately suing the government.

If Trump wants to change the blistering narrative from his administration's war criming, he should release the Epstein files.
And speaking of the Epstein files, Peter, the image below is a pretty good illustration of their current status:
(Or should we more properly call them the Trump files.)
When the fuck are we going to rise up and prevent this destruction of the very science that actually made America a great nation. Pussy Riot was correct when they told @Maddow last night that Americans are all asleep at the wheel. Wake the fuck up.
Oregon Struggles to Land Federal Counterterrorism Money as Trump Orders Troops to Stop “Terrorists” Hindering ICE

Oregon could lose nearly $18 million worth of terrorism prevention and emergency funding. In the past, the money has paid for bomb detectors, law enforcement training and barriers that prevent cars from plowing into crowds.

Wealthy Ranchers Profit From Public Lands. Taxpayers Pick Up the Tab.
---
A ProPublica and High Country News investigation found that government programs supporting grazing on public lands prop up a wealthy few while harming the environment. The Trump administration is supercharging the system.

“This is ‘protect Pete’ bulls---,” one military official, who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal conversations, told The Post.
Leavitt’s statement “left it up to interpretation” who was responsible for the second strike that killed the two survivors, a separate military official said, imploring the White House to provide clarity on the issue.

Her scripted remarks at a news briefing elicited a furious backlash within the #Defense Dept, where ofcls described feeling angry at the uncertainty over whether #Hegseth would take responsibility for his role in the operation— or leave the military & civilian staff under him to face the consequences.

Karoline Leavitt, the White House propagandist, acknowledged Monday that #Hegseth had authorized Bradley to conduct the strikes on Sept 2. Bradley, she added, “worked well within his authority & the #law, directing the engagement to ensure the boat was destroyed.”

Officials in #Congress & the #Pentagon said Monday they are increasingly concerned that the #Trump administration intends to #scapegoat the #military officer who directed #US forces to kill 2 survivors of a targeted strike on suspected drug smugglers in #LatinAmerica [in order to fulfill Hegseth’s command], as lawmakers made initial moves to investigate whether the attack constituted a #WarCrime.
Take responsibility asshole
#Hegseth, with White House help, tries to distance himself from boat strike fallout
As #Congress vows accountability, the #Trump admin emphasized it was a top #military commander — not the defense secretary — who directed the engagement.
