Are Sociologists looking at cases like these? What drives people to commit such horrid acts? And why are more people forgetting about stories like this so quickly? Hurt people hurt people. Where does it end?
I keep hearing social media influencers say "MAGA is abandoning Trump" and I'm not seeing it. It'd be nice. Would love for it to be true but I really think these people have lied to themselves for so long that they're too far gone. There's no return.
Seriously, why is Trump doing campaign rallies and exerting so much pressure on elections? He CAN'T run for a 3rd term. It's not a thing and everyone needs to stop normalizing this shit.
πππ It fits!
We've gotten numb to it, but what Trump/Hegseth is now doing to Anthropicβand what Trump did to the law firmsβare not just tantrums, they are impeachable abuses of power. They are, in effect, executive branch bills of attainder. ...

The Federal Government has not demonstrated a strong likelihood of success on the merits or βserious legal questionsβ coupled with a balance of hardships tipping decidedly in its favor. Any harm from the investigation- specific disqualification is abstract at best, whereas granting a stay would reinstate an official who acted without lawful authority -- a clear injury to the State Government. The public interest likewise favors ensuring that governmental power is exercised only by officials with lawful authority. Each factor, and all four taken together, weigh against granting a stay.
Another defeat for another unconstitutionally appointed Trump DOJ prosecutor:
Ex-Trump campaign lawyer John Sarcone will remain disqualified as U.S. Attorney for Albany, and his subpoenas to Letitia James' office will stay quashed.
He's not likely to succeed on appeal, a judge finds.
Oh my! May I ask what general area of the country is this?
The Heritage Foundation and all its affiliated should be dismantled, with malice.
Doubt it. If Iran's oil production is rendered helpless customers, such as China, will turn to Saudi Arabia; at higher prices too. Think about how much money Saudi Arabia has already given to Trump and family. This "threat" is smoke & mirrors.
BREAKING: Judge Brann has ejected the new leaders of the NJ U.S. attorney's office, once again finding the Trump administration is illegally attempting to circumvent Senate confirmation.
He says this could result in dismissals of indictments.

Fox News just showed footage of Trump in his ballcap at the dignified transfer, though you had to look pretty hard to see him
Dear Republicans,
If you're calculating your political future and thinking Trump will have a successful coup so you want to stay in his favor, you do realize, if that happens, he'll have no need for a Congress at all?
You get that, right?
NEWS
Trump DOJ offers a deferred prosecution agreement to Halkbank, the Turkish state-run bank charged with laundering billions in Iranian oil money.
Trump repeatedly tried to end this case in his first termβper John Bolton, as a favor to one of the "dictators he liked" (i.e. Erdogan).
Iran, the middle east, Ecuador, Cuba(?) and what's next?
As my heart breaks for the innocent people being harmed, it dawned on me today that Drafting our sons and daughters to go die is a very real possibility now.
Would any parents like to discuss?
It doesn't seem like these rulings have any impact. This administration keeps doing whatever they please, as if they're already a dictatorship. I'm surprised they haven't tried to dismiss Congress.
FFS π is trying to get everyone on π killed
To be fair, he didn't spend much time learning English.
Apparently Iran is another Gaza?
I don't want to see anyone die but anyone who still thinks of themselves as MAGA should be the sacrificial lambs.
Pssssst

My adult son and beautiful daughter in law are expecting a baby later this year. And I'm heartbroken π this is the America my grandchild is coming into.

The 2 advocacy groups trying to permit the public to see Jack Smithβs Vol 2 each tried to intervene before Judge Cannon twiceβonce in 2/25 and once in 2/26. She refused each time. Theyβre now asking to have all their appeals heard the week of June 22.

The secretary of Miami-Dade Countyβs GOP started a group chat for conservative students β and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"
Iran has been 2 weeks away from building nuclear weapons since when Reagan was in office.
I'm actually scared. Hearing that commanders are telling troops this is all Biblically Sanctioned and Trump is anointed to call back Jesus ... I never thought before about religious zealots in our armed forces and this is terrifying.
