Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece. It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out. 1/2

Federal judge, appointed by Reagan, in 161-page opinion today in deportation matter: "There’s the issue of masks... To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police"

100 percent

HEY DONOLD — YOU’RE NOT GETTING INTO HEAVEN SO STOP ASKING! WE DON’T LET PEDOS IN! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! - GOD

Trump doesn't seem to see that some people are still immune to his threats. Jack White criticized Trump's Oval Office decor. The White House then called White a "washed-up, has-been loser... masquerading as a real artist." And White, undeterred, posted an absolutely blistering takedown in response.

Corrupting economic statistics will change our economic reality. Here's how: Tariffs raise prices. Social Security is indexed to inflation. If Trump tells a partisan BLS head to downplay inflation, seniors' social security checks won't keep up. Rigged stats = stolen benefits.

@charlieangus104.bsky.social with another great video. Also US media, why aren't you covering this? None of this is okay. This whole Western Civilization/Values BS is frankly terrifying when you understand what they mean. youtu.be/9BptD9K1Bu4?...

TRUMP IS SCUM WHERE ARE THE EPSTEIN SEX TAPES????????

"So the tariff is paid in this country by the importer, is that right?" -- Eugene Robinson guides Scott Bessent into acknowledging that tariffs are in fact paid in the United States, not by foreign governments

Went to check my bank balance and I didn’t much care for the number the teller provided so I called for the manager to fire her on the spot. F*ck this woke BS. Found out she was hired during the Biden administration too.

Me three months ago:

I would like to think that Abraham Zapruder’s great-grandchild was behind the camera here.

Let that sink in for a sec.

@jamellebouie.net , it was a code word Epstein and Trump used. Enigma is an anagram for "gamine."

Reup: Congratulations to Pam Bondi for creating an additional 1,000 people who know what is in the Epstein files. Really superb work! www.emptywheel.net/2025/07/18/p...

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s dissent hits the target. She is reminding us of the stakes in this case. And she is spot on. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Fyi; this tweet is about Trump’s habits and addiction. I am well aware there are Trump branded properties all over the globe. He spends no time at them and has no overseas residence because he wants to be at home and show up looking like he did at WH this morning aka hammered sh*t.

Trump has nothing on his public schedule today, he flew back from G7 so he could post on truth social & pretend he was in charge of the conflict in Middle East. He couldn’t stand being seen as the one NOT calling the shots. He’s playing at POTUS but he’s an old man in a diaper.

Vital Knowledge warns investors not about #TACO 🌮 — but #TALO.

Scott Pelley—American author and reporter for CBS News for more than 31 years, did not hold back

Incredible chart work. 🙏🏼 #90dealsIn90days

OMG Who did this? 😭☠️😭

Since leaving Twitter, I had forgotten Jonathan Turley existed. Apparently he is still obsessed with me. It is amazing people still pay him to teach them law. He is just Mike Lindell with tenure.

This is an astoundingly good interview. The LA Port Director explains very clearly how profoundly trade is coming to a screeching halt. This summer will be tough.

The 8th May has been marked as VE Day since before Trump was born. VE stands for Victory in Europe. As for the First World War, the idea that some Yank who refused to serve in the military, will command people around the world not to call it Rembrance Day is laughable. Sod off.

Stop what you’re doing & listen to this!

Larry David appears to be responding to his friend Bill Maher here with this NYT Piece “My Dinner With Adolf”

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: I think what’s really concerning is that an idiot like Trump has been allowed to sabotage the global economy without anyone stepping in to say, “Whoa, Donald—what the heck are you doing?”

thehill.com/opinion/camp... This op ed is scathing. Enjoy over a cup of coffee:

Fed Chair Jerome Powell at the Economic Club of Chicago: "The level of tariff increases announced so far is significantly larger than anticipated, and the same is likely to be true of the economic effects which will include higher inflation and slower growth." This isn't a good thing, MAGA.

Thank you, Neil, for your support. Keep on Rockin’ in the Free World. tinyurl.com/yzmj52yj

keep seeing takes about how Bill Maher got played. Bill didn’t get played, he’s an asshole. Warner Brothers was looking for a way to suck up to Trump so they sent the dude who they write a big fat HBO paycheck to eat ass at the WH & platform Bannon. It’s simple prostitution.

FUNDSTRAT tonight: “.. in the last few days, we have had many conversations with macro fund managers. .. A few have quietly wondered if the President might be insane.”

Snort

Perfect

A sudden drop like this—especially during a global selloff—isn’t a sign of strength. It signals collapsing demand expectations, fear of recession, and market instability. This isn’t prosperity, it’s a warning.

This!

If you’re among those who consider yourself real reporters and aren’t just chasing clicks & TV spots to push your podcast dig deep on Howard Lutnick. There is a lot of there, there, most especially his Epstein connects and Trump kompromat.

One of the best Downfall takeoffs I’ve ever seen. The subtitles are simply brilliant.

Pete Hegseth’s attempt to explain his leak is laughable. This parody is the best thing you’ll see all week! 🤭✌🏼🩷 Thanks to Day from TikTok
