Just remembered that for the promo for Samantha Bee's Not the White House Correspondents Dinner several years ago, I joked that President Trump was going to Hell.
He seems pretty committed to that goal these days.
Miami Beach native son Ron Dermer will be managing the Israeli end of the invasion of Lebanon while, get this, Tiffany Trump's f-i-l Massad Boulos will be handling the American end.

Bit of trivia - Charlie Kushner served less than 18 months in prison by claiming he was an alcoholic. His b-i-l Richard Stadtmauer tried for early release by claiming he was a drug addict but was turned down.
DOGE bros Nathan Cavanaugh & Justin Fox are partners in a Miami based company, Special Holdings Inc. per sunbiz.
Lol. I have history with Josh Nass, arrested for extortion in connection with Trump's pardon of nursing home magnate Joseph Schwartz. Had to do with Sam Nunberg, Baruch Rosenfeld & Moshe Lax. More later. Gift link:

I am generally a (very) critical person when it comes to legacy news media. Having said that, what is otherwise one of their worst qualities—their oppositional defiance disorder in the face of criticism—is likely gonna kick in hard in response to this threat & make them push Iran coverage even more
Aleksandr Vladimirovich Smirnov was a GRU asset assigned to assist Trump in the 2020 election by making lies surrounding the Burisima scandal seem more credible. He was convicted, sentenced, and now the Trump administration is helping him ge out. link.motherjones.com/public/44694...
SCOOP: Josh Nass, a lobbyist who worked to secure a pardon from Trump for a client, was arrested Friday & charged with attempted extortion, apparently for trying to collect an additional $500k he was owed by the pardoned client, Joseph Schwartz.
I've studied the way broadcasting was censored by Главлит in the Soviet period, and by the Ministry of Propaganda (Роскомнадзор) under Putin. Trump's system is far, far cruder.
I attempted to asked U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro whether she thought Judge James Boasberg — when deciding the Federal Reserve subpoenas issue before him — factored in her office’s prior attempt to indict six Democrats over their political speech.
The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.
A truly extraordinary moment.
We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
Act like it.
Can the mayor get a restraining order against Michael Powell of the Atlantic? Because this is starting to feel like an unhealthy obsession
Feels like every single Democratic official should be loudly pointing out that the president is a dementia-ravaged thug who needs to be impeached and removed from office, even if just to cover their own asses for when he inevitably tries to nuke the Oscar ceremony or whatever.
“With all newspapers in Germany being told what to publish and how to write the news and editorials, it was inevitable that a deadly conformity would come over the nation’s press.”

Donald Trump letting you know how the authoritarian capture of the media is going, in case you missed it. Unlike other authoritarians in places like Hungary and Poland he has no worries about advertising his authoritarian take over of the media.
The thesis of this article is that "opposition to Israel is central to Mamdani's worldview" and the evidence is that he posted a single photo with Mahmoud Khalil

- The Most Embarrassing President Ever
This very much reads like a guy who sold a felon a pardon from Trump tried to extort another $500K from the felon he felt he was owed.
Brendan Carr is threatening the media to cover the war the way the Trump regime wants. It’s one of the most anti-American messages ever posted by a government official.

(NYT) - The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad urged all American citizens to leave Iraq immediately on Saturday after the embassy was attacked overnight for the second time since the war with Iran started.

And I ask again: Where are my Harper’s letter writers at?
An FAA rule proposed during the Biden administration would have required companies like Elon Musk’s SpaceX to safely remove spacecraft from orbit within 25 years of launch.
The Trump administration recently killed the rule.

Remember how people claimed we were ridiculous and hysterical for saying there was a plan for authoritarian takeover? They’re out here proudly proclaiming it less than 2 years later.
