Slingshot News: ‘I’m Not Concerned’: Trump Shrugs His Shoulders Over Destroying America’s Global Standing, Other Countries Allying With China [Video]

During an announcement on Social Security from the Oval Office several weeks ago, Donald Trump showed that he couldn’t care less over his economic policies driving countries away from the U.S. and closer to China. “They can do what they want,” Trump dismissively stated.

Miami Herald: IL Governor Threatens to Charge Agents — DHS Responds

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker has repeatedly criticized federal immigration enforcement, suggesting state prosecutors may investigate Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents for alleged misconduct under the Trump administration. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials have condemned his remarks, arguing they endanger federal personnel. Pritzker noted that Illinois and local prosecutors are reviewing possible legal action related to raids in immigrant communities.

Pritzker said, “These people should recognize that maybe they’re not gonna get prosecuted today, although we’re looking at doing that, but they may get prosecuted after the Trump administration for the things that they did because the statute of limitations won’t have run.”

Civil rights groups claim some operations involve racial profiling and have damaged trust with law enforcement. Pritzker stated, “The tables will turn someday.”

Pritzker added, “These people should recognize that maybe they’re not gonna get prosecuted today, although we’re looking at doing that, but they may get prosecuted after the Trump administration for the things that they did because the statute of limitations won’t have run.”

Pritzker said, “They’re taking away people’s rights, you know, by not identifying themselves; they’re coming in with masks on. They’re coming in with unidentified vehicles.” He added, “Now, they’re acting like a bunch of thugs and taking away people’s free speech rights.”

Pritzker stated, “These are all things that need to be taken up again by an inspector general or somebody investigating at the federal level because they have immunity at the state level, but we’re looking at how we might be able to hold them responsible despite the fact of federal immunity.”

Daily Beast: Trump Deflects Tensions With Rival by Blasting ‘Boring’ Reporters

Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva grew increasingly frustrated with the MAGA leader as their pre-talk press conference dragged on for almost ten minutes.

Donald Trump brushed off another world leader’s frustration over their marathon press conference by telling journalists they were “boring” him anyway.

Trump scrambled to deflect toward the end of a press conference with Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in Malaysia on Sunday.

“They’re not great questions today, I must say,” Trump joked.

Idaho Statesman: Idahoans rally against Trump. He responds with another crude tactic | Opinion

Looking across a sea of people at the rally, many of whom carried signs depicting their disdain for Trump, I was reminded of how America has turned on those least able to defend themselves as they take low-paying and often dangerous jobs American don’t want. A sign carried by a protester: “Inasmuch As Ye Have Done It Unto The Least Of My Brethren, Ye Have Done It Unto Me.” Jesus sends a message to evangelicals, white Christian nationalists and anyone who uses the Bible as a guidepost of the good life, but ignores one of the fundamental precepts of Christ’s teachings.

Another sign at the rally said it all. “First, They Come for the Immigrants,” a reminder that Trump starts with indefensible minority groups like Latinos. Then he goes after universities and free speech, a fundamental guarantee in the Bill of Rights. And then he goes after law firms who represented clients in Trump’s vengeful line of fire. And then he prosecutes those who prosecuted him.

Where will it all stop? Who’s next? We may not know the answers, but last Saturday proved that Idaho may be called a Red state, but there are plenty of blue-blooded Idahoans who won’t take Trump and his Idaho lackeys sitting down. They are not about to let him destroy our democratic way of life without making their case for “making America good again,” as one sign at the rally read.

As far as what’s next, I hope it’s more rallies as we head toward the 2026 midterm elections — our most immediate hope to stop the madness of Trump and a Republican Party gone rogue.

Daily Beasty: Trump Hijacks NBA Scandal to Dunk on Favorite Adversary

The president couldn’t resist seizing the moment.

President Donald Trump is trying to make the basketball gambling bust that rocked the sports world about himself.

But when Trump, 79, weighed in, he put his own twist—and pettiness—on the subject.

“What’s worse, the NBA Players cheating at cards, and probably much else, or the Democrats cheating on Elections,” he began in a post on Truth Social.

“The 2020 Presidential Election, being Rigged and Stolen, is a far bigger SCANDAL. Look what happened to our Country when a Crooked Moron became our ‘President!’ We now know everything. I hope the DOJ pursues this with as much ‘gusto’ as befitting the biggest SCANDAL in American history!”
