Alarming Verbal Diarrhea From the President When political scientist Seth Masket shared this story on Bluesky yesterday, I couldn’t believe it was real.

This is some weird Florida Fascist shit here. The camp will hold 5000 kidnap victims at maximum capacity.
Florida officials say the Everglades camp, which has been criticized by the Democratic congressman Maxwell Frost as “a cruel spectacle”, will open in the first week of July – a month in which south Florida’s daily heat index regularly exceeds 100F (37.8C).
“We believe in the swamp down here in Florida. We are swamp creatures,” he told the conservative podcast host Benny Johnson in a reveal of the schemeon Monday that bordered on mockery.
“There’s no way in and no way out. The perimeter’s already set by Mother Nature. People get out, there’s not much waiting for them other than pythons and alligators.”
The airfield’s 11,000ft runway, he said, was perfect for large planes bringing in scores of undocumented persons detained by Ice from all over the US.
“There’s a lot of low-hanging fruit,” said Uthmeier, who was held in civil contempt by a federal judge this month for continuing to enforce a state immigration law she blocked.
Christamitey! Is there nothing that can be done to stop these crimes against humanity? Apparently not.
Florida Fascists.

I think TPM’s MM writer forgot to mention that here comes the last day of the Supreme Court before its summer break, and its decisions should come today as well.
I have a feeling I’m going to be completely let down, but only because I’m speaking from previous experience. These red-hatted robed assholes disgust me.

There is no outrage left to express. It was all expended long ago with the constant drip drip drip of daily insanity. Things such as Hillary’s emails, Benghazi etc have been so eclipsed by the complete disregard for American values and traditions that those of us who care are just worn out, and of course the MAGAlytes are OK with anything/everything the Orange Idiot does because he is God’s Messenger. There is no hope for American democracy, it has been totally obliterated, not some desert centrifuges…

Trump may frequently be on the phone with Putin, but I think everyone assumes he’s lying about phone conversations with the Iranians.

Watch this interview from 2016 with my friend Werner Reich. A Holocaust survivor who was dragged from his home by the Gestapo when he was 14 and thrown in Auschwitz and 2 death camps. I asked him what was the tuning point for Germany. Does this sound familiar?

Democrats almost universally object to nearly everything Trump does. I read today the GAO may lose half its staff. That’s but one example among thousands of job cuts, policy changes, agency closures, bad laws and assorted cruelties.
Let’s say a Democrat wins the Oval in 2028. I’m curious just how much of what Trump’s administration did that a Dem President might refrain from correcting. How many jobs at hobbled agencies get restored? Might there be a chance at least some of what Dems object to today, upon further thought the next Dem Prez thinks, “We’ll just leave that alone”, because in fact they’re OK with it.
Many, many “Hey, you bitched about this, and now you’re doing nothing” moments are probably in store.

RIP Bill Moyers who passed away yesterday. Posted an obituary on yesterday’s MM thread. One of the few reporters/journalists I still trusted over the years.
