For criticizing him, Trump opened an investigation into me for “treason.” He doesn’t scare me. I’ve decided to call out his corruption louder than ever. See you at the movies, Mr. President. No need to buy a ticket. We’re making this free for everyone.

The Supreme Court is utterly diseased. We must flip the senate, block all Trump nominees, kill the filibuster, elect a Dem POTUS, and pass a law adding four seats to remediate the racist cancer on the bench.

"President Trump, the most powerful man in the world, maybe in history, comes off in these pages as among the most miserable of humans — surrounded by sycophants and toadies, living in a gilded palace, filled with rage and bile." www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

NOTUS: A 79-year-old man received “compassionate use” access to an experimental obesity drug from Eli Lilly, and his application was arranged by a top NIH doctor. Could that recipient have been Trump? (White House spokesperson Kush Desai says no.)

“All we have to do is look at his trashing of our nation’s capital to know that he is unfit to serve and should be removed from office. The images are pictures of his disheveled, deluded, degraded and disgraceful mind.” open.substack.com/pub/america/...

There was a rule when I was in Trump's first term: if a memo had a staple in it, it was too long for him to read. Life-or-death decisions were cut to one page. Or a half-page. Or less. Bold fonts. BIG pictures. When you’re wondering why everything’s a mess, remember that.

Competition only works when buyers can compare prices. I tried comparing the same sushi order across food delivery apps. Thirty minutes later, I had an economics lesson. New Diving In: newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/convenienc...

This brief segment from Fox & Friends last week could be used as a commercial for D.C. statehood. Janeese Lewis George the Democratic Socialist in the race won the primary easily with 54% of the vote. Trump doesn't think the residents of D.C. should pick their own leadership.

Even in New York, Israel is proving toxic in Democratic primaries. Progressives critical of Israel and the war in Gaza swept a trio of House races in the state — a stunning shift that carries national implications for the party.

Across NY & MD, I'm counting 12 Democratic incumbents who lost (or, in one case, are trailing) to a challenger to their left. —2 congressmembers (both NY) —4 state senators (2 in NY, 2 in MD) —6 state house members (5 in NY, 1 in MD) A thread to break this down.

RESULT: Darializa Avila Chevalier, a challenger backed by New York's left, has ousted Rep. Adriano Espaillat. An earthquake result, which means all 3 congressional candidates backed by Mamdani have won: Chevalier, Brad Lander, and Claire Valdez.

Two defendants who received 50 years each, Savanna Batten and Elizabeth Soto, were never accused of helping plan the demonstration here. They arrived separately, left the protest when guards asked them to, and were not accused of any act of violence talkingpointsmemo.com/news/prairie...

If we are going to classify antifa as a terrorist organization, shouldn't MAGA also be considered one?

A headline that says “Trump Says” is a headline built on a lie.

I know the onslaught of degradations and violations typically propel us to move on, but allow me to linger longer on Trump’s incompetence, corruption and lying about the reflecting pool. My comment from this weekend www.americaamerica.news/p/what-does-...

🔥Jewish Actor Mandy Patinkin (brillant in Homeland) gets really passionate about Gaza and the child killer Benjamin Netanyahu. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

He’s screwed up the reflecting pool. He’s screwed up the White House grounds. He destroyed the East Wing & the Rose Garden. He’s failed in Iran, fouled-up the Mideast & ruined relations with our allies. And yet the Republicans continue to stick with him as if he’s not demented & destroying America.
