Can Connections please offer the option of turning off the Thanks for Playing screen, which appears before I’ve had a chance to read the solution? I don’t need thanks.

It’d be nice to be able to complain about Morning Joe without dozens of people posting “I don’t watch that shitty show.” Doesn’t add anything. We get it. You’re smarter than we are. We’re still gonna hate-watch occasionally.

Trump actually thought Chancellor Merz was rooting for the Nazis in World War 2, and “kidded him” about D-Day like you would a Red Sox fan about Bill Buckner. That should be a bigger story.

So Trump now says he offered Musk makeup for his black eye. The black eye that, on the day, he claimed not to have noticed. (Again, remember there was no reason for him to say he hadn’t noticed. No one had asked him. The unnecessary lie is a mark of the pathological liar.)

What could possibly be in a Melania Trump documentary series? What has she done? Near as I can figure it will have four parts: 1. I Leev With My Parents 2. I Am Model. For Three Tousand I Pose Nood 3. I Marry Donald 4. Separate from Donald, Finally Reech from Beetcoin

I love that cable news guests can now appear from home or office, but too many @msnbc.com guests have terrible, echoing sound. I think it’s only fair to require guests have a microphone, or even earbuds.

Trump thinks he’s in the mold of Winston Churchill. He reminds me more of Veruca Salt.

Trump’s June 14th birthday parade may fall on a Saturday, but for America it will be TACO Tuesday.

TRUMP’S TARIFFS BLOCKED BY FEDERAL COURT

Even if the reporter who asked the TACO question is kicked out of the White House, it’s better to die on your feet than live on your knees. Reporters who don’t ask tough questions have no value for their outlets or their consumers.

There is zero chance Trump watched the Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping trial. He couldn’t stay awake for his own trial.

White House reporters, I’m begging you to ask this question: If the Qatari plane is a gift to the U.S. Air Force, why do you get to keep it? Please, just one of you, do the right thing.

This was typical @msnbc.com coverage today. They should have been discussing Trump’s addled gibberish and obvious dementia.

At West Point Trump said that William Levitt used to pick up loose nails at his construction sites to avoid waste. According to the book “Lucky Loser” this was an oft-told story of something Fred Trump did. I don’t know if Levitt did it, too, but it’s more likely it’s all a jumble in Trump’s brain.

Leavitt was clear: Trump appeared at the crypto dinner as a private citizen, not President. So he had no immunity. It is a federal crime to display the Presidential Seal, “in a way that could be reasonably construed as a false endorsement or approval from the government.” Lock him up.

When Trump says the plane is not a gift for him, but a gift for the country, I’ve never heard a reporter ask the obvious next question: “Then why do you get to keep it?”

25% tax on Apple products while singling out the CEO by name for retribution, 50% tax on European goods, expulsion of foreign students, bill passed with most debt in history, while hosting a dinner for people who gave you $300+ million. All in the last 24 hours. The Golden Age.

I’ve never seen an adult take as long to sign his name as Trump does. It’s like a child trying to carefully sign just right.

Now we can start the betting as to whether Trump will actually wait for the plane to be secure. It’d be like giving a toddler a new tricycle and saying he can’t ride it for three years. Tantrum time.

Of all the coverage I’ve seen of yesterday’s Oval Office debacle, the only piece that thoroughly covered the South African issues involved was this one from The Bulwark. @thebulwark.com is increasingly my most reliable news source. youtu.be/zg2eY_mXuuA?...
