The infantile Trump AI video is important for exactly one reason, as Jay Nordlinger notes

The American-led negotiations in Ukraine prolonged the war by encouraging Putin. The Russians dangled ludicrous business"deals" in front of Witkoff and Kushner who were too gullible to understand that they were being manipulated. Good to hear the US has abandoned this failed policy.

RFK Jr. fires leaders of group that determines what insurers must cover

The Entire Chump Family Should Be Arrested, Tried And Convicted, Of Enriching Themselves, During Don The Con's Time In Office......

Irrational, internally contradictory mumbo jumbo. This explains why Trump is unwilling to present a case for his wars to Congress or the American public—because he can't articulate one. And in the present American media environment, that's apparently perfectly okay.

The media need to retire their lame descriptions of the many financial scams of the crook-in-chief. It’s not “a break from norms.” It’s not “highly unusual.” IT’S CORRUPT! My Stop the Presses newsletter.

The key distinction is between nominal wages and real wages. Nominal wages are the dollars on your paycheck. Real wages are what those dollars can actually buy.⁣ ⁣ If prices rise faster than pay, you’re going backwards.

“The Treasury Department is responsible for depositing $1.776 billion into an account that will be controlled by a group of people selected by the acting attorney general, Todd Blanche.” www.nytimes.com/2026/05/18/b...

Trump issues executive orders to promote the fusion industry, he creates an Office of Fusion, prepares to deregulate it, all while Trump Media announces a merger with … you will never guess … a fusion company.

“1.776 Billion” is a nice touch — Trolling us with fake patriotism as he steals our money and gives it to people who attacked the Capitol to end democracy for him How much will Rep. Andy Ogles get? @MarshaBlackburn?

AOC: “It is time for the North to pull up to the South & let them know exactly what they have uncorked with this injustice. They think they can draw us out of power. They do not know the sleeping giant they just awakened. What they thought was the final blow is actually just the opening silo”
