As Jennifer Rubin explains, the reason Trump's ratcheting up the diversionary fits — the FBI raid in Georgia, arresting Don Lemon, etc. — even as he refuses de-escalation in Minnesota is that he's caught between a rock and a hard place.

MAGA is driven by theocratic fury fed by white supremacy. MAGA wants the assaults on immigrants.

"The actual physical seizure of a state’s voting materials was a Rubicon we hoped Trump would not dare cross. But here we are, and it’s only January."

"Donald Trump is enormously dangerous. And we would be fools to look at a small rhetorical retreat from the horrors of his armed occupation in Minneapolis as a victory that will last."

"Informed sources": US Director of National Intelligence #TulsiGabbard bans sharing of information about talks between #Russia and #Ukraine with Five Eyes allies of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and UK

July 20 directive classifies all information related to the negotiation process as "NOFORN"

The U.K. has agreed to drop its mandate for iPhone-maker Apple to provide a "backdoor" enabling access to the protected encrypted data of American citizens, U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has said. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/08/19/tech/us-gabbard-uk-backdoor-apple/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #us #uk #apple #tulsigabbard #iphone

"How John Durham Buried Evidence He Had Been Doing the Work of Russian Spies … and then Tulsi Gabbard Buried More"

"Durham — as well as John Ratcliffe and Kash Patel — should have recognized they were pursuing an investigation of Hillary Clinton based off a deliberate Russian spy hoax."

"Durham (who continued his investigation for two more years after he would have concluded the emails were “composites”)"

Wait so which one is the coup that #TulsiGabbard was talking about?

Wait so which one is the coup that #TulsiGabbard was talking about?

Just months ago, Trump's Director of National Intelligence #TulsiGabbard testified to #Congress, in her opening statement, that the US intel community "continues to assess that #Iran is not building a #nuclear weapon" & had not reauthorized its nuclear weapons program.

While #Trump recently publicly disputed Gabbard's testimony, acc/to 2 admin ofcls with knowledge of internal deliberations in recent weeks, Trump's decision to strike was not driven by any new US #intelligence on Iran.
