How not surprising that a president who acts like a petty mob boss is holding one of our nation’s treasured institutions hostage until we meet his conditions—that is, putting his stupid name on the building. I say we just put it in mothballs until he is gone.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

McFaul: It’s been clear from the beginning of the second Trump administration that the Putin strategy was to engage with them—Witkoff in particular—to make this about win-win economic transactions… The Russian strategy is to say, "Work with us and we will do multibillion-dollar deals with you all."

The Supreme Court today said the current president had the unilateral authority to tear down the East Wing of the White House and build a monstrous ballroom. That means the next president will have the unilateral authority to rebuild the East Wing and tear down the monstrous ballroom.

The smoking gun evidence in the hush money trial that convicted Trump on 34 felony counts included a $50K payout to Red Finch Technologies. Red Finch artificially boosted Trump's polls. Just making sure no one forgets Trump has been fixing the polls for a decade.

John Roberts and the SCOTUS Republicans have allowed Trump to proceed with his egregious mail-in voting restrictions.
21 years ago, I warned at Roberts' confirmation hearing he would be a dangerously right-wing Chief Justice.
I have sadly been proven right, over and over.

Donald's Chief of Staff John Kelly said Trump had no knowledge of history. When they visited Pearl Harbor, Trump asked Kelly why they were there.
And Donald clearly doesn't know that "Mission Accomplished" was widely mocked as an awkward lie about a failed war. So he uses it in the same way. Idiot.
