Stop using the word trade “deal.” It’s completely inappropriate. Mark Carney, who is a mensch and a scholar, never uses this word. It’s “partnerships,”agreements,” accords.” This is the language of international diplomacy.

Watching an NBA game, 50% of the ads are for gambling. Gambling company ads all over the arenas. Gambling-related arrests of NBA players and NBA coaches are today’s sporting news headlines.

Carney: But this decades-long process of an ever-closer economic relationship with the United States is now over. And as a consequence, many of our former strengths as a country—more particularly, our economic strengths based on close ties to America—have now become our vulnerabilities…

trump is now admitting he is demolishing the entire East Wing of our White House. The East Wing will be rubble by Friday. No one in power is stopping him.

Except for one call, the Warriors at Lakers was very well-officiated last night. Probably the best reffing I have seen in a few years. I hope the Association takes note. (My little brother says that’s because LeBron was not playing last night.)

The tear down without proper approvals is a classic New York real estate move although I have to admit that most of the time the developer owns the property before ripping it down. A great metaphor on what he has done to our country.

He’ll keep tearing it down because he can’t stop himself. It’s heartbreaking — the loss of a symbol of our country. On 9/11, passengers on Flight 93 fought to keep a plane from hitting the White House. He’s doing what the terrorists could not.

I wonder how many recent Russian arrivals are on the White House demolition crew. Probably not as many as will be on the ballroom construction crew.

The "separation of powers" was mostly just good vibes. It was a social contract we all thought we bought into. They did not. And they knew how vulnerable we were. That's Project 2025 in a nutshell. Exploit everything. And they have.

One thing the trump era taught us is that so much we thought was bedrock was just tradition and good manners. The system was not designed to repel a gang of thieves determined to tear it all down.

trump told President Zelenskyy to cede portions of his country to the Russian aggressors. When I was a kid, horrified by learning about the Soviet Union, trump was in Russia, taking their financial support and becoming a Russian asset. So to me and my peers, this behavior is just unfathomable.

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement. Check out how tiny the crowds were: Philly: 200 DC: "several hundred" Boston: 500 Austin: 1,000 Houston: 2,000

Good morning and happy Sunday to everyone. Before you buy Girl Scout cookies you should know they support transgender girls and reject donations from anti-transgender organizations, so make sure you order extra boxes of the new rocky road ice cream-inspired Exploremores.

Every Republican on the Sunday shows should be forced to watch the Air Feces One video and then be asked, “Is the President sane?”

At this point, if you're interviewing a Republican about the president's latest transgression and you *don't* have the video or post or whatever cued up and ready to show them when they pretend they haven't seen it yet -- I'm just going to assume you're in on the con yourself.

It's a test run for refusing to sign in new members after the midterms. Normalizing the power of the speaker also deflects from the responsibility of the entire body to uphold democratic processes and the law.
