Crab cakes hit different in Baltimore

Rare to see a true "Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer" bit in the wild, but here we are.

My "We are won or winning" T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

"I'm a cop, I don't understand the law" is literally one of the most on-brand things I have ever heard in my life

Himes: "The standoff is not done yet. The president is illegally paying, apparently, TSA agents."

It is extremely wrong how Dems talking point on this is that paying TSA by EO is totally legal and he should have done it sooner. It is not legal, that $10B is only for border security and TSA is not border security. He's stealing the power of the purse, stop saying he should have done it sooner!

Homan: "We're going to continue an ICE presence there until the airports feel like they're 100% in a posture where they can do normal operations. If less TSA agents come back, that means we'll keep more ICE agents there."

Andy Kim: "Homan did an excellent job dodging your question about why Trump didn't start paying the TSA agents sooner if he had the authority all along. I know the answer to that, the American people know. It's because he doesn't care about them."

Ron Johnson: "Even more deviously, they trained activists to obstruct justice, encouraged them to put themselves in harm's way, they got two martyrs, then they used their martyrs as their excuse to try to defund law enforcement"

BARTIROMO: People look at this situation and they don't understand. Republicans are in charge. You are running the House, Senate, and WH, and yet we have these fights and it's obvious that you can't get on the same page and it seems Democrats are still winning McCLAIN: It's extremely frustrating

WELKER: Do you agree with President Trump that the US has in fact won the war? LANKFORD: We are won or winning

Homan is modest about his own abilities. Just look at the "plan" he came up with to have ICE thugs wander aimlessly through crowded airports.

“I’m a cop, don’t ask me about the law” is quite a line 😳😳😳

Fortunately, I own a time machine and can fill up my tank with gas from March 2025.

He dug out a letter from last October. President Death Spiral really does feel the end is near, I guess.

Flying out of BWI is now an extreme sport. Seven-hour TSA lines, ICE agents roaming, no paychecks for staff. The 'joy' of Trump's America: every mundane task becomes a logistical nightmare. Hitchhiking might be faster. Or just accept Baltimore as your final form.

Trump just posted a letter from Franklin Graham assuring him that says "you commented to the media that you might not be heaven bound. Maybe you responded in jest, but it is an important issue to know for certain that your soul is secure and will spend eternity in the presence of God."

LMAO! Fox News is spinning Trump's high gas prices by touting the "average daily price per barrel of oil" throughout presidencies, as though the fact prices were low a year ago will be reassuring to people today

the arsonist is tackling fires

TAPPER: If Trump had the power to pay TSA agents this whole time, why only start going it now? HOMAN: Look, I don't understand -- I'm a cop -- I don't understand the whole appropriations language, appropriations law

I am supposed to fly out of BWI tomorrow which means the rest of my life is now a mystery. Do I wait in line for 7 hours? Stay in Baltimore forever? Hitchhike? Live off the land indefinitely? The joys of living in Trump’s America!

always a pleasure to spend some time in the Charm City

Look how aggressively we are sanitizing Kushner's conflicts. The NYT described Kushner as "having business interests" in the Middle East. KUSHNER IS BEING DIRECTLY PAID TENS OF MILLIONS ANNUALLY BY MIDDLE EASTERN GOVERNMENTS

while the country is at war, Trump is golfing

Monica Crowley: "It's called soft power and no one exercises it better than the First Lady. While the president is really focused on ending conflicts and unnecessary forever wars, the First Lady is focused on future generations."

Monica Crowley on Melania Trump: "Our spectacular First Lady is really bringing the world together to focus on digital literacy, artificial intelligence and education, and online safety and protection for children. It was a huge success and I'm so proud of her."

As I keep saying, the trick to post-truth authoritarian politics is not changing laws, it’s pretending that existing laws already allow anything. Words don’t have meanings, they’re merely tools to get what you want. If you don’t believe me on this, listen to the foremost practitioner explain it.

New episode of @davidnir.com and Rupar is live! We discuss why the GOP is in shambles, whether it comes to funding the TSA or winning special elections down in Florida. We had a lively conversation. Check it out:

Q: What do you want your legacy to be? TRUMP: I settled eight wars. I'd love my legacy to be made as a great peacemaker. It doesn't seem it right now, but I think I'm a peacemaker

Trump describes negative media coverage of him by the New York Times as "almost treasonous"

Trump: "A tremendous mistake was when NATO just wasn't there. It's gonna make a lot of money for the US. Because we spend hundreds of billions a year on NATO, and we would've always been there for them, but not I guess we don't have to be, do we?"

Q: We have leaders here from Africa. What's your vision for Africa? TRUMP: I tell you, it has tremendous potential. It's got tremendous earth.

Trump: "We have a thing called a war, or as they would rather say, a military operation. It's for legal reasons. Because as a military operation, I don't need any approvals. As a war you're supposed to get approval from Congress. Something like that. So I call it a military operation."

Q: The winner is entering a new economic era. Who do you think are the winners, and who are the losers? TRUMP: Well, the United States right now is the hottest country in the world. I must say, I respect China greatly.

Trump says "I don't care" about the Nobel Peace Prize. Because when people don't care about something, they talk about it all the time.

Trump: "I find that people that win, it's much easier to lead when you're successful. Vince Lombardi was a very tough person. He was a violent guy, actually. I knew him. But he won and he got away with things because he won."

Q: What is the one leadership trait the world is missing right now? TRUMP: Well, it's winning. I always like to hang around with losers, actually, because it makes me feel better

Q: Where should the the world invest in America right now? TRUMP: The one that they're crazy about is AI. So if you want to say one thing, AI, and just hope that it works. You better hope!

Trump: "I'm going to take a few questions. You can ask me anything you want. You can talk sex."
