Trump's "Great Man" theory: "No limits" to his power www.axios.com/2026/06/19/t...
Trump says he's more powerful than Attila the Hun, Genghis Khan, Napoleon, Stalin, Mao and Hitler.
He's all about conquest, power & "ME".
He doesn't want to be Hoover,
but never considers FDR, JFK, Lincoln or "WE".

In a 500-plus-page book, Lamar Alexander opens up a bit more than usual about Trump & Rs today:
“If those actions do not constitute a ‘high crime or misdemeanor,’ I do not know what does.”
We spent an hour talking about the book & today’s GOP.

A wonderfully weird creature you'll find deep in the endangered Chocó Rainforest of Ecuador.
It's a moss-mimic walking stick insect (Trychopeplus laciniatus).

AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do

Fuerza responds to scenes where alleged ICE enforcement is reported. If officers are indeed with ICE, they hit record and spread the word. They also speak directly with those being detained.

Welch: I have no faith in him all because he acts like a guy who got a day pass from the memory wing of a nursing home. When you see him on TV, he's slurring. He's not competent. It is just terrifying when you see the chyron that says Trump is reviewing war plans.

The other day, The Washington Post condescendingly mocked me for stating that President Obama should speak out about what Trump is up to. Apparently, Barack Obama's thinking aligned more with mine than The Washington Post's.

❗️President Zelensky: Today I was at the site of the Russian high-explosive missile hitting a Kyiv high-rise building. I honored the memory of the dead. This vile strike on a building in the middle of the night took the lives of 23 civilians. My condolences to the family and friends.

When we moved into this house a couple years ago, my very kind neighbor was like “oh FYI my husband is a concert cellist so if it’s ever too loud or disturbing you or anything, please just let us know.” You know what, hasn’t been a problem.
