I’d just like to see a big, naive, money losing world’s fair here again. We used to be the leaders in big, naive, money losing world’s fairs.

Trump creating his own 250 organization to compete with the bipartisan one is really working out fantastically all around.

It feels like the only people in attendance are there to document the lack of attendees.

I’ll be generous and say maybe 50 more standing.

At this point I can’t tell if this is really a thing or if it’s just that places like Axios desperately want to make it a thing.

That’s Trump’s yearbook photo, age 17. Remarkable that he thinks he was still attending his high school military academy at age 20. 🤪

I would've lost my mind to have seen this www.youtube.com/watch?v=bm9z...

Seems like you don’t need an expensive consultant to tell you the more unbridled corruption and heinous policy Trump gets away with in broad daylight, the more voters will gravitate toward anyone who seems to have the will to stop him. Which may get some questionable candidates over the line.

I’d like to think that he has that one swim suit.

As if he could carry his own golf clubs.

As if he needed the 250 excuse for any of the self aggrandizing he's up to.

I get the discomfort about Chevalier specifically, but it's not a great look when establishment Democrats insist the base has to accept pro-life candidates from conservative areas but they have an extended freak out when lefty candidates win in liberal strongholds.

I can’t wait until we have a Democratic president and blatantly lying is considered bad again.

“How much is a magical world worth?” A beautiful thread about Cabo Verde, the Peace Corps, and the World Cup:

Seeing the sad excuse for a celebration in Washington, I remembered when I was a kid in '76 the Smithsonian recreated a Centennial exhibit hall in their oldest building. I was fascinated because it felt like time travel. Today's kids get a plywood arch.

Well, it's no tiny crystal football from Marco.

New cat bed already causing beef.

I think a President should know how passports work.

I thank my lucky stars To be living here today 'Cause the flag still stands for freedom And they can't take that away

I kind of feel like if it’s your thing to keep insisting Democrats must elect more centrists you should start be demanding Republicans elect any.

Sleepy Joke.

The floundering fathers.

Does he understand that passports are given to Americans who go to other countries, not to people visiting the US?

Was the fake Trump arch a 7th grade class project?

Honestly can’t tell if the fast casual shrimp post is real or satire.

In a real society, in a real country where laws were applied to everyone and consequences were a thing, saying "I will protect the pedophiles and crooks in this room from justice" would be the end of this guy's career and he'd be in jail

The older Ralph Reed gets, the more he assumes his final form: ventriloquist dummy.

Man, if only Democrats were as ruthless as their friends across the aisle say they are around elections.

Can they do a secret resort deal here too?

You can feel the "open secret" material being danced around in the stories of Trump and his human printer.

I appreciate the two takes here.

This is such a disturbing flex. He’s basically acknowledging that he and Trump have raised the bar on what scandals presidents can get away with so much that Watergate was nothing compared to them today. True. But yikes.

That “on leave” is going to feed 10,000 variations on the same joke.

I thought this was America.

Yikes, catastrophically low turnout for Trump's "rally" last night kicking off the 250 festivities...

I think if there were still such a thing as a moderate Republican it would make moderate Democrats seem less like that’s what lane they’re going for.

Honestly, I think electing a few socialists is probably the least disruptive reaction to Elon Musk wants all the money.

People who have witnessed what Trump and his band of GOP stooges have done to the country over the last ten years are shocked at how a pendulum works.

The funniest thing about the Mamdani sweep freak out is it seems to be suggesting a House that was serious and sober legislative body up until now.

Mamdani has delivered yet again!!

I think there’s some pundits whose whole thing was waiting for something that would take down Mamdani a notch or two and it’s kind of going the other way for them.

Did people think a guy as broken as Elon Musk being allowed to manipulate markets to trillionaire status and all the other daily oligarch outrages wouldn’t dilute the fear of socialism they’ve worked so hard to instill?

I think moderates who vote to confirm bad Trump nominees are driving voters to look for anyone that seem aware of the stakes.

Seeing another purge curtesy Bill Pulte I think the criteria is they assume anyone competent won’t be sufficiently loyal.

Tapping into the nation’s strategic tarp reserves now.

“We’re going to need a bigger tarp.”

Just waiting for Kash.

Some random tractor pull’s loss.

Now I’m just morbidly curious how much more Trump can clown himself over a water feature.

Well, he is a generational talent obviously.
