The GOP wanted to impeach Biden for a fake $5M bribe from Ukraine that was made up by a guy sitting in prison for lying about it, but they’re cool with a $400M plane from Qatar. Do I have that right?

WATCH: It's so strange how the stock market under President Trump is really Joe Biden's...while the stock market under Joe Biden was somehow Trump's.

Pritzker: If you're not out there protesting in front of a Republican congressman's office, or out in the street making your voice heard, or calling your friends in another state to have them do it.. then you're not doing what's necessary to put pressure on them to vote the right way.

This exchange is so very telling. Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this: "I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

COLLINS: Can President Bukele weigh in on this? Do you plan to return Garcia? BUKELE: How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? Of course I'm not going to do it. The question is preposterous TRUMP: These are sick people

WTF. This is insane. For so many seniors, there would be no money for food, rent, or prescriptions without their Social Security check. Howard Lutnick says if they complain about missing a check, they're a fraudster.

This reality show premise of finding the dumbest MFer in the country and making him president isn’t going well. Season 1 sucked. Season 2 is much worse.

Several top prosecutors inside the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia — including some involved in Jan. 6 prosecutions — were demoted to entry-level positions by the Trump-appointed interim U.S. attorney, multiple officials tell NBC News.

In reality, Trump has been trying to shake-down Zelenskyy since at least 2019, when he failed to strong-arm the Ukrainian leader into announcing a (bogus) investigation into the Bidens, a move that got him impeached. Through it all, amazingly, Zelenskyy has maintained the moral high ground,⤵️

Zelensky found out what it was like to be a US governor in a blue state asking Trump for medical supplies during the pandemic. Or disaster relief after a wildfire or storm. It’s not his money, but he fully expects you to beg and plead for it and tell him how wonderful he is.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

While Musk runs the country, Trump had a productive weekend naming himself Chair of the Kennedy Center, picking the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl, canceling pennies, demanding Google Maps rename Gulf of Mexico, invited only White immigrants from Africa, and saved plastic straws.

Deportation flights never stopped. The Biden Admin deported about 1 million people per year. Republicans never talked about that because it didn’t fit their narrative, and Democrats never talked about it because they feared it would anger part of their base. So ignorance ruled.

Montage of clips of Trump “guaranteeing” that he will end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours of taking office, that “it wouldn’t even be tough” for him to do, and that “everyone will be happy” with the end result.

I'll never tell a lie. I'll never make a misleading statement. I'll never betray the confidence that any of you had in me. And I'll never avoid a controversial issue. Jimmy Carter This was a man who lived a life that made this second nature. Remember this the next 4 years.

Add $50,000 that Trump owes the city of Grand Rapids, Michigan to the list of cities that didn't get paid for his rallies. Such a fine businessman. He knows how to screw each and everyone to save a buck for himself.

Republicans in the House and Senate need to remember that they are not cheerleaders whose job it is to pump up the crowd for Trump. Their job is to be an equal team member with the executive and judicial branch.

Do you think Donald Trump wants to be a beefcake hero? By all signs, as Randy Newman once noted, Putin sure seemed to have that desire. And with all the AI photos that Trump loves to repost, I'm certain that he wants his followers to see him as something he is far from being.

I have shared the same bathroom with Sarah McBride on several occasions, and she never once made me uncomfortable. She did however help me fix my makeup. That congresswoman knows how to blend her foundation, which is more than I can say about Donald Trump.

Stephen Humphrey Bogart recently said that kids these days have no idea who his parents were. He is 75 while I am 66. It doesn't take long for people to be forgotten no matter how influential they might have been.
