"There is good reason to believe that, finally, Trump’s unprecedented corruption is going to bite him in the ass."

You wouldn’t marry someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t be friends with someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t do business with someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t work for someone who lied to u like this. You’d want nothing to do with someone who lied to u like this.

In 1990, I talked my boss out of invoking the War Powers resolution before Bush 41 went into Kuwait. But Trump's attack on Iran is a different kind of conflict, and Congress should rein in this exercise in unlimited war-making, as I wrote here: www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

How is this being treated as normal? A Republican governor is declaring a state of emergency to cancel n ongoing election for Congress. If you think this is ends with redistricting, you are not paying attention.

“I would also note that under Barack Obama, 197 general officers were removed,” Mr. Hegseth said in testimony before the House Armed Services Committee. “So this is not something specific to this administration.” The number Mr. Hegseth gave has no basis in fact. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/u...

In 1994, a man crashed his small plane into the White House. Clinton did not build a ballroom because of it. In fact he barely mentioned it. And he definitely did not say that no one can criticize him anymore.

Here they are: our two top Iran negotiators. No diplomatic experience. In way over their head. Both with massive financial conflicts of interest, their fortunes tied to the Middle East dictators that make them rich. What a disaster.

Reupping this post bc more analysts are finally getting that we can't treat Trump as a rational being. I note Iran poses two other intractable psychological dilemmas for him. 1) To beat Iran he would have to confront RU, which he cannot do. 2) To make a deal he would face Obama's superiority to him.

Buried at the bottom of the garbage heap that is the news... Donald Trump's EPA greenlit more toxic coal ash dumping. The stuff that's full of arsenic, lead, and mercury that poisons water and causes cancers and other illnesses in low-income communities. We should be talking about that more.

Something we don’t address enough is how many people, especially adults, do not have a working imagination.

i believe this is related to the rise in people who are utterly incurious about anything not directly beneficial to themselves

Jay Bhattacharya, who is best known for ranting about COVID conspiracies and “coverups” for the past 5 years, is now literally suppressing the data on COVID vaccines…because he is an antivaccine hack not a scientist

Jay screamed that he was being “cEnsOrEd!¡” during the pandemic because clinicians, outbreak control experts, virologists, & public health professionals rejected his push for mass infection instead of mass vaccination Now, as the nation’s most powerful scientist, he is censoring vaccine science 🧐

What Trump, with his contempt for the rule of law at home, doesn’t seem to grasp is that creating a welcoming climate for foreign investment requires, above all, the rule of law. Yet there cannot be an independent judiciary in Cuba as long as the same regime remains in power. wapo.st/4vLxQfs

I've highlighted the potential conflict with China here, but it's also true that the blockade potentially puts the US at odds with India, which it has been trying to court as a security partner vis-a-vis China.

A prominent Atlantic writer is sounding the alarm about President Donald Trump's mental state after the president spent a weekend attacking the pope, posting an AI image of himself as Jesus Christ, and rage-posting on Truth Social until nearly dawn.

Sure, but this means the entire GOP owns it. Literally, this SHOULD be incredibly easy to turn into a midterm issue. And this is why it's important to note that these people were not JUST convicted of sedition, but also some or most were adjudged as terrorists. They're terrorist sympathizers.

For decades, presidents avoided even the appearance of profiting from their office. President Donald Trump is taking a different approach. https://to.pbs.org/482NOaK

Boiled Frog Journalism: Is Trump an Agent of Saudi Arabia, and Other Pressing Questions Buried under Biden's Age emptywheel.net/2024/07/17/b...

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health. 'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

New whistleblower book reveals that Trump admin officials tasked with dismantling USAID had no idea what the agency actually did, with one official admitting he assumed it only did abortions, and asked career health experts to dumb down their presentations to the level of a children's TV show. 1/4

In all seriousness, Swalwell and Gonzales resigning does signal shame does actually work. For the longest time, Washington has been immune to shame and even the most disgraced scandal-ridden politicians don't leave unless they are made to. Shame does work

The one outlet that covers him the way they would a Democrat.

A series of disjointed, hard-to-follow and sometimes-profane comments capped by threatening to wipe out Iran and attacking the pope have left many with the impression of a deranged autocrat mad with power and revived the debate about Trump's mental health. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/13/u...

Nobody in this admin has a clue what their actual job is, they all just wing it. Rubio's babysitting Trump, the VP is doing the State stuff with 2 rich guys, half the rest think their job is 'influencer,' Trump is doing real estate and the actual POTUS stuff is going to Stephen Miller.

I know it's fun to mock JD for this, but the reality was that the "ceasefire" (aka the climbdown from Trump's threat to destroy Iranian civilization) was based on a phony deal all along, and there was never going to be any way of reconciling the two sides' stated positions, which were 180 opposite.
