At a rally, Trump told his supporters just how incredibly stupid they are, that he could "say the stupidest thing and [they'd] clap," and they were so stupid that they laughed clapped. Brilliant self-own.

As a multiple minority academic, I can't tell you how many times I've been discriminated against by progressive liberals on hiring committees--all of whom, if asked, would no doubt be happy to tell you all about how they "support" equality and even work for social justice organizations.

So the UFC performance at the White House was really just profiteering from links to a known criminal to benefit himself at the expense of the American people.

"Terrorism" refers to violence to achieve political ends. Research shows that immigrants commit fewer crimes, which means that ICE's actions are about Trump's racist politics, not law or security. That means ICE operates as a de facto racialized terrorist organization, not unlike the Gestapo.

Attacking those who would hold you accountable for your crimes isn't governance; it's conspiracy to commit more crimes.

How weak and insecure is Trump to feel a need to constantly remind people of the office he occupies, his desperation to nab a Nobel Prize he will never deserve, and to sign his unhinged social media posts in all caps.

Something barely discussed from the last election was Russia's numerous bomb threats against polling places in swing states. We have no idea how much of an impact that had, or what they have in store for the midterms. One thing seems certain, however: We can expect more illegal interference.
