He honestly thinks we're stupid.

Am I understanding this correctly? The President, the Vice-President, the Speaker of the House AND the Secretary of Stare were all at the White House Correspondent's Dinner together and security was so laxed that a guy ran through security with a long gun? I call bullshit.

Tonight, Jeff will be seeing the incomparable Betty Buckley as part of her yearly residency at Joe's Pub at the Public Theater. I believe that Jeff has seen Betty more than any other performer, & he adores her. (I do, too!) bsky.app/profile/pitp... @bettybuckley.bsky.social @joespub.bsky.social

President Trump views his repeated brushes with violence as a sign of his historic significance. “I’ve studied assassinations, and I must tell you, the most impactful people ... they’re the ones that they go after,” he said.

A big-game hunter from California was killed this month by an elephant after his hunting party stumbled on a small herd of the animals in the dense forests of Gabon in central Africa, according to the Sacramento Safari Club and a former hunting partner.

Odesa… People are pulling whatever remains out from under the rubble. It’s a shame our bodies aren’t as sturdy as machines. Night, Ukrainians died here, right in their own bedrooms.

“The U.S. has burned through so many munitions in Iran that some administration officials increasingly assess that America couldn’t fully execute contingency plans to defend Taiwan from a Chinese invasion if it occurred in the near term, U.S. officials said.” www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

The Supreme Court has a secret weapon: the "shadow docket." Rulings in days, no debate, no explanation. It's how Trump keeps winning in court even when lower courts rule against him. A new investigation traces it all to a rushed decision by Chief Justice Roberts in 2016.

AOC: “If you’re a man in the Trump administration, misconduct gets rewarded. They don’t seem to have a rhyme or reason… unless it has to do with the Epstein files. Then you’ll get the shot.” 🎯 Same behavior. Different consequences. #SheShed

Very much looking forward to the magic @bettybuckley.bsky.social will bring to Joe’s Pub this weekend! It’ll be my 3rd year there! 😍

The Atlantic isn't backing down. They appear more than happy to go to court with what they have on him.

There's no other way to say it: This AP-NORC poll is atrocious for Trump. – Overall: 33-67 – Immigration: 40-59 – Iran: 32-67 – Economy: 30-70 – Cost of living: 23(!)-76 37% of Republicans disapprove of his handling of the economy, 47% disapprove on cost of living. apnorc.org/projects/few...

Trump officials under pressure to increase their 'masculine appeal': report

Wow. This is the FBI Director. Several officials say Kash Patel’s drinking has been a recurring concern across the government. At the FBI, it’s called reasonable suspicion. That’s enough to trigger testing or administrative action. So what are we waiting for? 🧵
