Trump’s new crusade is trapping MAGA into ‘painful mental contortions’: columnist

In just this week, President Donald Trump has sued the New York Times for $15 billion over its negative coverage of him, suggested that broadcasters who criticize him should potentially have their licenses revoked, and celebrated the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel as "great news for America.”

Trump 'is going to lose' because there is no widespread support for new scheme: analysis

Intelligencer writer Ross Barkan reports Trump “is going to lose the war on free speech” in a pattern reminiscent of Democrats’ overreach on police reform, but worse.

The Trump administration has set its eyes on a new target: Palestinians, who under a new directive will now be subject to heightened scrutiny when applying for asylum, according to leaked documents obtained by the Washington Post.

The outlet obtained an internal email from the Department of Homeland Security that advised staff within the agency’s asylum office to “be on the lookout for Palestinian cases,” regardless of whether applicants actually reside in Palestine, so long as they “otherwise affirmatively [identify] as Palestinian.” Those cases would then be “diverted for an additional review to the quality-assurance office,” the Washington Post found and reported on Saturday.
