     "Such is the fear of jail, bankruptcy or professional reprisal, that most of these people insisted on anonymity. This was in spite of the fact that many of the same people also wanted to emphasise that Trump would only be restrained by powerful voices opposing him publicly. At times, it has felt like trying to report on politics in Turkey or Hungary"

     The whole idea of raising tariffs in response to an ad is nuts of course, but the fact it was Doug f-ing Ford who ran it is really the icing on the cake. Under most circumstances Ford would be a natural Trump fellow traveler

     "As of Monday, roughly 8 per cent of American warships deployed globally were in the Caribbean, according to a fleet tracker from the US Naval Institute"
     As noted in the article, numbers are *far* too low for any serious of invasion of Venezuela, but a huge deployment to murder handfuls random people on boats

     What could possibly go wrong: "The Trump administration has effectively closed the division of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency that coordinates critical infrastructure cybersecurity improvements with states and local governments, private businesses and foreign countries"

     New Pentagon press corps almost entirely hard-core conspiracy and disinfo outlets: Lindell TV, Gateway Pundit, Post Millennial, OAN, Tim Pool, Federalist, Epoch Times…

     Honestly think even Hegseth may come to regret that, because many of those clowns are too divorced from reality to stay on message

     'Do the facts actually support treating this group’s threat as an armed conflict — one that would justify moving from ordinary law-enforcement powers to the extraordinary powers allowed in war? While the Trump administration asserts a categorical “yes” to this question, the objective facts point to a categorical “no.”"

     Comey's lawyers highlight a possible downside to publicly telegraphing that you're engaging in vindictive prosecutions: "concrete and objective facts justify thorough discovery into the suspect prosecutorial decision-making process that led to this flawed indictment and a hearing at which the government must justify its decision to bring these unfounded and retaliatory charges"
