I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

We have reached out to the company who was awarded this contract and they have confirmed the ceiling was $8 million—NOT billion. Here is their statement. The federal government is cooking the books.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Why is Trump the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl? Because all the presidents before him realized it would be extraordinarily wasteful to spend 15-20 MILLION of our taxpayer dollars to go in person.

Mitch McConnell fell again and is obviously not well. But he won't have to worry about medical bills or skipping tests because he has high-quality, government-funded healthcare — the thing he's fought to deny the rest of us. We need Medicare For All Congress needs term limits

Any news outlet reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done its homework. Trump boasts he got Mexico to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. Apparently he didn't realize Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there prami.ibero.mx/informes-y-i...

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives

Trump wants to distract you from the fact that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator last week. Don’t let him.

DC plane crash, no survivors. This on the heels of trump planning to cut not only the TSA, but air traffic controllers! www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Sounds like a cheap hit. But maybe it wasn’t a great time to freeze hiring of new air traffic controllers for no reason why there was already a shortage. I’m not sure this is a stretch.

Trump is speaking right now, and he can barely look up from his piece of paper he’s reading off of. I guess he can’t speak from the heart, because he doesn’t have one. He’s the one who put two TV personalities in charge of the bloody departments of defence and transportation. His words are hollow.

Many in national security, myself included, who’ve worked w/ Kash Patel have seen his dishonesty & the threat he poses. Fear keeps many silent—but silence is not support. That this must be said about his nomination for FBI Director speaks volumes. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/welivedi...

CNN's Jim Acosta signing off: "I will not give in to the lies. I will not give into the fear. Post it on your social media so people can hear from you too." I will not give in to the lies. I will not give into the fear. Post it on your social media so people can hear from you too. Pass it on.

I appear on @CNN often. And if saying this means my days at CNN are over, then fuck it. CNN, removing @Acosta.bsky.social from his am show is cowardly bullshit. Acosta is an independent, unafraid host. To demote him to appease the crybaby in the White House is pathetic. Shame on u CNN. Don’t do it.

Trumpsters often say, “Politicians don’t keep it real or say what’s on their mind, but Trump does,” and that’s what they like about him. MAGA, please meet Anders Vistisen of Denmark… About Greenland: “Mr. Trump, f*ck off, It’s not for sale.”

This is NOT a reason for exercising the pardon power & it's not a legitimate use of presidential authority even if Trump is legally entitled to do it. Rewarding people for their political support of your candidacy by pardoning their kids is a sign of political corruption.

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire
