When Trump shows you who he is…. Steve Benen examines Donald Trump’s recent campaign rhetoric about imprisoning political opponents: Last year, as his legal crises intensified, Donald Trump grew explicit about his intentions to retaliate against his perceived foes with politically motivated criminal cases. In September 2023, for example, the former president suggested he’d have “no choice” but to prosecute his political opponents in a possible second term. The Republican added soon after that when prosecutors took steps to hold him accountable for his crimes, “what they’ve done is they’ve released the genie out of the box.” (I assume he meant “bottle.”) This came on the heels of Trump vowing to appoint a “real” special prosecutor to go after President Joe Biden and his family. That’s all Trump means by “Great Again.” Be cruel and criminal enough that no one will dare cross him. That’s it. Sell ’em snake oil. Deliver retribution. Commit more crimes as president for his own sick pleasure and for MAGA’s entertainment.

Dear Virgin Mary,
First let me just say, you may not consider yourself a pop culture icon, but we have to put your story in historical context: if you were born two thousand years later, you’d probably be the star of your own reality TV show, have 362 million followers on Instagram, and people would post pictures of you at the Met Gala with the caption “Mother is mothering.” Undeniable fact: you’re an icon.
Stop the handwringing A friend asked yesterday if we have a chance this election. Well, considering we (local Democrats) have over three dozen candidates on our fall ballot, we have a lot of chances, I said. What he meant, of course, was the race atop the ballot featuring Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Buck the f#&k up! Voters want to support winners. Maybe start acting like winners? Do Republicans doubt themselves like this? Hell, no. They declare themselves winners before all the votes are counted. They try to litigate (or intimidate) wins when they’ve clearly lost. They are acting like 2024 winners even now, after a string of high-profile, post-2016 losses and with a presidential candidate just convicted of 34 felonies, three more cases pending, and more charges on the way. Ed Kilgore rolls his eyes at New York magazine: One of the most notable aspects of the 2024 presidential contest has been how often voices have been raised in the left-of-center commentariat calling on Democrats to abort Joe Biden’s reelection campaign before it’s too late.
