Weird. As part of a lawsuit with @JudicialWatch, the emails of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel were searched for references to Jeffrey Epstein. Both turned up zero results — which makes no sense, since they had a public communications about Epstein in that time period.

When you put all of Trump’s shifting demands, conditions, and timelines together in one place and read them chronologically, you get a picture of either a degenerate bullshitter, or a man who’s lost his mind. A full unpacking in today's Triad from JVL: lnk.thebulwark.com/4t0tmj6

"Last week Trump said he didn’t care whether or not the Strait of Hormuz was reopened because it wasn’t America’s problem. On Sunday he demanded the strait be reopened in two days or he would begin a campaign of war crimes against Iran. Which is it?" open.substack.com/pub/thebulwark…

NY Times reports DHS had the so-called "shovel attack" ON VIDEO within hours of an agent shooting an immigrant in MN. There was no attack at all. His friend helped him into the house, and the ICE agent shot through the door for no reason. Just like the victim said! DHS LIES!

Important analysis on US slide to "total war" with Iran. Some background: UN Commission on Inquiry: “Russian armed forces’ waves of attacks ... on Ukraine’s energy-related infrastructure ... may amount to crimes against humanity.” The authors are former US military lawyers 1/

"Raising the possibility of resistance within the executive branch and of impeachment may seem alarmist. But it’s not alarmism, it’s realism, to doubt we can make it safely through the next thirty-three months without considering measures like these." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwark…

Fascism presents an almost symbiotic relationship between the militarization of politics and the aesthetic glorification of violence. Trump here is attempting the same in a more vulgar way but his fascist ideological tendencies are clear!

All honor to the U.S. military for the daring and successful rescue mission. The service members who planned and executed it were trained, equipped and promoted in a military shaped and led by men like C.Q. Brown and Randy George, which was derided as woke and weak by Hegseth.

“Our President is not a Christian and his words and actions should not be supported by Christians.”
Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸@FmrRepMTG

On Easter morning, this is what President Trump posted. Everyone in his administration that claims to be a Christian needs to fall on their knees and beg forgiveness from God and stop worshipping the President and intervene in Trump’s madness. I know all of you and him and he has gone insane, and all of you are complicit. I’m not defending Iran but let’s be honest about all of this. The Strait is closed because the US and Israel started the unprovoked war against Iran based on the same nuclear lies they’ve been telling for decades, that any moment Iran would develop a nuclear weapon. You know who has nuclear weapons? Israel. They are more than capable of defending themselves without the US having to fight their wars, kill innocent people and children, and pay for it. Trump threatening to bomb power plants and bridges hurts the Iranian people, the very people Trump claimed he was freeing. On Easter, of all days, we as Christians should be reminded that the son of God died and rose from the grave so that we can be forgiven once and for all of our sins. Jesus commanded us to love one another and forgive one another. Even our enemies. Our President is not a Christian and his words and actions should not be supported by Christians. Christians in the administration should be pursuing peace. Urging the President to make peace. Not escalating war that is hurting people. This NOT what we promised the American people when they overwhelmingly voted in 2024, I know, I was there more than most. This is not making America great again, this is evil.

This was, I thought, a good discussion with Tom Joscelyn of the dangers of Trump's effort to turn the national security agencies into loyalist enforcers of his authoritarian and extremist agenda. Particularly focused on the firing of Gen. Randy George. youtube.com/live/Wncbacasb…

He sent the email to Hegseth. The man who fired him was one of the recipients. “Our soldiers are truly the best in the world - they deserve tough training and courageous leaders of character.” His replacement was Hegseth’s personal military aide. The Pentagon described him as able to carry out the vision “without fault.” George’s fault, apparently, was refusing to discriminate against officers by race and gender and then asking for a meeting to discuss it. He served thirty-some years. West Point. Desert Storm. Iraq. Afghanistan. Two years early out the door. The email had a subject line. It said “Thank you.” That’s it.
