Incredible. Trump reflexively praises war criminal dictator Putin the way his sycophants flatter him during cabinet meetings.
Trump, commenting on the Iran deal: "I would want to thank Vladimir Putin. He was very neutral. They could have made it much more difficult for us." Russia supplied Iran with intelligence and technology used to target U.S. military bases in the Middle East.

El Faro reconstructed the story of three detainees who died in state custody in El Salvador and were buried in mass graves without their families’ knowledge. All showed signs of a violent death, and were legally innocent because they had not been convicted in court. beta.elfaro.net/en/exclusive…

"I'm deeply concerned by the arrest and reported disappearance of Ruth Lopez, a leading human rights attorney in El Salvador. When leaders arbitrarily jail those in civil society who shine a light on injustice, we must all speak out." -@SenatorShaheen @USEmbassySV
Ruth Lopez, a human rights and anti-corruption attorney, who spoke to Rolling Stone earlier this year about the brutal conditions in El Salvador's prisons, has reportedly been arrested by the Bukele government. (via @Cristosal) 🔗 rollingstone.com/politics/po…

We don’t talk enough about how autocrats view taxpayer dollars—not as public resources to serve the people, but as a pot of gold to enrich themselves and their allies. Their focus isn’t public welfare; it’s personal profit and power.

I cannot believe how shameless this man is, or how We The People continue to tolerate him and his party.
Trump: "We have a man who's doing a great job, I'll tell you. I knew it, because he kept me out of jail for years. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, he kept me out of jail."

Un año después de su captura, Enrique Anaya continúa privado de libertad sin haber tenido un juicio justo. Mientras se limita su acceso a la defensa, su familia sigue sin poder confirmar su estado de salud ni si recibe el tratamiento médico que necesita. Enrique está preso por decir en voz alta lo que muchos callan: que el régimen está anulando los espacios democráticos y concentrando el poder en una sola persona. 📢 A un año de su injusto encarcelamiento, exigimos #LibertadParaEnriqueAnaya.

The details about the Tate brothers in this @newyorker profile are as sick as anything you will ever read. They are rapists, pornographers, traffickers - and heroes to the "conservative" MAGA movement newyorker.com/magazine/2026/…

El dictador de El Salvador Nayib Bukele vio a @enrique_anayasv como a un enemigo político desde que Enrique denunció la candidatura inconstitucional de Bukele ante el @TSEElSalvador. Después de la reelección inconstitucional de Bukele, Enrique continuó denunciando valientemente los abusos y las acciones inconstitucionales de este gobierno de facto. Hasta que fue capturado hace un año. Los buenos salvadoreños y los amigos internacionales de El Salvador, debemos solidarizarnos y exigir todos los días la libertad inmediata para Enrique los otros defensores de los derechos humanos y constitucionales de los salvadoreños, como @Ruth_Lopez1977.
¿Por qué está prisionero Enrique Anaya? Porque tomó en serio la responsabilidad de defender la Constitución y lo hizo con brillantez. Con su detención, el gobierno criminaliza el ejercicio de la ciudadanía. Quieren vernos arrodillados. #tengandecencia

Republican-appointed judge: “The Court is not aware of another occasion in the history of the United States in which a federal court has had to threaten contempt — again and again and again — to force the United States government to comply with court orders.”

The biggest story in America is a president who has completely lost touch with reality. Who thinks the FBI let all the January 6 rioters into the Capitol, that he really won the 2020 election, that the Iran War is going well. Who, when occasionally confronted w reality, panics.
WOW -- Trump crashes out and cuts his interview with Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged "You're either crooked or you're stupid. Let's call it quits. Because I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her." "I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads.

This is a devastating interview. Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good. Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.

My god. Sickeningly unethical. Email directive from Bari Weiss to 60 Minutes executive producer Tanya Simon: “Can we make the protesters look more violent? […] The other thing was, Renee Good’s car. You need to describe her as driving toward the officer.”

The legacy of this @POTUS won't be the monuments he builds to himself but the destruction of faith in public institutions for his own power and profit. He wants to rewrite or erase history because he knows it won't be kind to him.

That is some wild, unhinged stuff from the President. Welker is a good person and honest journalist and didn’t deserve that but more importantly we have a president who constantly pushes conspiracy theories with zero evidence and can’t respond when politely challenged on that.
Here's the full chain of events that led to Trump storming out of his interview with Kristin Welker, beginning with her pressing him on the weaponization fund, continuing with her pointing out the baselessness of his "rigged election" lies, and concluding with him calling her "crooked or stupid" and leaving

This is unhinged. If a family member behaved this way, you'd worry about them. If a CEO behaved like this, the board would meet. He's living in an alternate reality and furious when a person won't indulge his fantasies.

Trump is exactly what we knew he was. The harshest questions and criticisms of journalism today and history tomorrow are about how a generation of Republican politicians, partisan media, and US voters willingly chose to ignore it for power.

For 5 years he’s been promising evidence. When asked for any, he responds like a little toddler. Such a bitch
President Trump broke off an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” that aired Sunday after host Kristen Welker challenged his false claims about elections and the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. wapo.st/4dU3Nez
