NEW -- Trump wants his autocratic, corrupt Hungarian role model to stay in power so badly he's endorsed him repeatedly and last week even sent Vance to campaign for him. Friday, he even offered Hungarian voters lots of foreign aid -- IF they re-elect him. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Iran's repressive theocracy is still in charge. They're making much more money selling their oil. They're even charging a toll for ships transiting Hormuz, which they were not before. So ... what did America win again? www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW — If the level of destruction in the Persian Gulf and gas prices here at home aren’t high enough for you yet, just give it a few days. Trump has promised to commit major crimes against Iran unless they meet his demands. Which he will not articulate. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- As of right now, there is still a downed Air Force crew member in Iran. Maybe now people can understand why it's better to avoid saying idiotic war crimey things like "no quarter" and bomb them "to the stone ages?" www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Apparently Pam Bondi wasn't turning the DOJ into Donald Trump's personal attack dog law firm fast enough. Her immediate replacement is also his personal criminal defense lawyer, so look for a picked-up pace on weaponized prosecutions. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW — Actually there was nothing “new” in this speech, least of all a plan to end his war without Iran in control of the Strait of Hormuz. Oh, but he did re-up his threat to do war crimes. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Remember Colin Powell's "You break it, you own it" rule about invading Iraq? Donald Trump has replaced that with a "I broke it, you fix it" motto for Iran. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Destroying Iran's electricity infratrastructure. Its drinking water plants. Confiscating its oil. All are war crimes. All are things Trump is threatening to do, yet again. Just another day that ends in "y." www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

What the WH said Trump would be doing this morning vs What he is actually doing www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Is DOGE still around? Because Donald Trump's golf hobby has now cost us $101.2 million in just 14 months back in office. That's correct. US soldiers are suffering brain injuries in the Middle East, gas prices are spiking, all while Trump golfs. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- NATO needs to help open the Strait of Hormuz, but it doesn’t matter if they don’t. The war is already “won,” but thousands of troops are on the way there. If there's a peace deal soon, great, but if there isn’t, that’s great, too. Alrighty then. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- The surprise winners in Florida's special elections got thousands of more votes than there were Democrats who cast ballots. Meaning they pulled from independents and even Republicans. Democrats everywhere are taking note. www.huffpost.com/entry/democr...

NEW -- Trump's war against Iran is going on four weeks now, inflation is heading back up, gas prices are up more than a dollar a gallon and suddenly two guys who might both want to run for the White House in 2028 are nowhere to be seen. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Trump tweeted his endorsement for the Republican running for the statehouse seat representing his Mar-a-Lago home IN ALL CAPITALS yesterday. Dems won it today anyway. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Hours after barring news media from witnessing the return of six service members killed in Trump’s Iran war, his White House posted images from the service on social media, including several showing the transfer case of at least one of the bodies. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Trump has insulted and berated our NATO allies for years, proclaimed repeatedly that one of them should be the 51st state, talked about attacking another to seize its territory, and suddenly they don't want to help him out of his mess. Weird, right? www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- There are thousands of Republicans who live in the Florida House district that includes Mar-a-Lago. Trump picked one who does not , and who changed his voter registration to a cheap motel a half hour from his home to be able to vote for himself. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- This kind of slipped under the radar this morning, but our secretary of defense casually threatened Iranians with "no quarter." Those words mean a specific thing, and that thing is a war crime. www.huffpost.com/entry/hegset...

NEW -- In a particularly unhinged performance, the defense secretary and former Fox News weekend host says he doesn't "worry" about the Strait of Hormuz, that it is "open" except for all the shooting by Iran, and that David Ellison should take over CNN. www.huffpost.com/entry/hegset...

NEW -- Remember Joe Isuzu? The ridiculous pathological liar in the commercials? Would we have ever put him in charge of the military and let him start wars whenever he wanted? Well, we pretty much did. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Trump could declare victory and bring our aircraft carriers home tomorrow or next week. But the chaos and high oil prices he's caused with his war on Iran? Those consequences will be with us for much, much longer. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- The Geneva Conventions state clearly that after a naval battle, all parties are supposed to take "all possible measures" to rescue survivors from the water. Our sub that sank that Iranian frigate Wednesday took no possible measures. www.huffpost.com/entry/submar...

NEW -- Remember in Trump's war video where he warned about the chaos that attacking Iran would unleash, the tanking stock market, the spiking gas prices, the tens of thousands of Americans stranded overseas... Oh, he forgot to mention that part? www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Why is Trump attacking Iran? It's their nuclear program, which needs to be re-obliterated after getting obliterated just 8 months ago. It's to free Iranians. It's to replace their autocrat with a different autocrat. Call it a work in progress. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Donald Trump promised as he was campaigning that he would cut your energy costs *in half* in his first year BUT YOU WILL NEVER GUESS WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED! www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Last night Donald Trump announced a $1,000 match for lower-income workers' retirement accounts. He forgot to mention that it was created under a proposal signed into law by Joe Biden. It is already going into effect in January. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- The most important piece of the Supreme Court ruling was not about tariffs. It was about Trump's made-up "emergencies" that democracy advocates worry he will use to rule as an autocrat. Six of nine justices stood up to him. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Donald Trump has put our country on the brink of war with Iran to stop its nuclear weapons program. Yes, the same nuclear weapons program that he claimed he "completely and totally obliterated" eight months ago. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Four years ago Trump praised Russia's dictator as a "genius" and "savvy" for invading Ukraine. Today Putin can't replace the 35,000 troops he's losing each month, is instead doing nightly war crimes against civilians. Trump is still on his side. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Trump and Stephen Miller love to demonize immigrants, especially illegal ones. They are super violent, they claim. They are sucking taxpayers dry. The truth is the exact opposite. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW — AG Pam Bondi, under oath, repeatedly told Congress that Ghislaine Maxwell had been not been transferred to a lower level prison. False. She was sent to a Club Fed days after meeting with Bondi’s deputy. I assume she will be indicting herself. www.huffpost.com/entry/bondi-...

NEW -- The White House is claiming that a newly unconcovered FBI document showing a 2006 phone call from Trump ratting out Epstein to the Palm Beach police vindicates him. No, it absolutely does not. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Trump loves to talk about how other people (but not him, even though he was invited) went to Epstein's island and how bad that is. Unless, of course, that other person happens to be his own commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick. Then it's okay. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Trump saddled Americans with the largest tax increase in decades with his tariffs, $181 billion last year. Now, with the Supreme Court likely to strike down his biggest tariff tool, he's scrambling to find alternatives. And it looks like he has. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Trump said today he asked Vladimir Putin to pause his attacks on Ukraine for a week because of the super cold weather and that Putin had agreed. That comes as news to Ukrainians, who have been attacked every single day this month, including today. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Captain Queeg had his strawberries. Donald Trump has his election lies about Minnesota. And Georgia. And Wisconsin. And Michigan. And Pennsylvania. And California.... www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Trump creates crisis. Trump ends crisis by completely caving. Another Trump Major Victory! Yet Again. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW — For his first year back in office, European leaders settled on a strategy of treating Trump like a toddler they were trying to coax to eat his vegetables, constantly praising him for every little thing. It didn’t work. www.huffpost.com/entry/opinio...

NEW -- A lot of the people who predicted Trump would rule like an autocrat if he returned to power are today confessing they got one key detail wrong. They did not foresee it could happen so fast. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- ICE and Border Patrol agents do not wear name tags. They don't identify themselves in their encounters with civilians. Many wear masks to hide their identities. Donald Trump has created a de facto secret police force to terrorize communities. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW — If you watched Trump’s speech purportedly about the economy today, it might explain why they giving him cognitive exams. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Trump and Stephen Miller keep bragging about the might-makes-right imperialism that let them confiscate Venezuela's oil. They neglect to mention how corrosive and nasty it is -- or how it almost certainly will not bring down gas prices here. www.huffpost.com/entry/nasty-...

NEW -- On the 5th anniversary of his coup attempt, Trump, lying, claims he had nothing to do with the violence that injured 140 cops and left five dead in the coming weeks. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Great news for losing presidential candidates! Used to be that you could ask for a recount and file lawsuits. Now, thanks to American voters having normalized what Trump did on Jan. 6, you can also attempt a violent coup! Without fear of consequence! www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW: TAKE THE OIL!! www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW — Ignore the naysayers. Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs absolutely worked. They liberated Americans from their jobs. (In addition to making most things more expensive.) www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- What the hell was that? And why? www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Donald Trump has set free convicted fraudsters, cop assaulters, money launderers, even a drug kingpin who smuggled 400 tons of cocaine into the United States. So why not a notorious child sex trafficker? Why not, say, Ghislaine Maxwell? www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

ACTUALLY NOT NEW AT ALL -- Donald Trump is a deeply damaged human being. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- LOOK IF ANYONE DID ANY WAR CRIMES IT WAS THAT ADMIRAL GUY OVER THERE WE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
