I've said it before. In my mind, Trump and his administration (Rubio, Hegseth, Vance) will be war criminals with respect to Ukraine if something bad happens as a result of these unilateral negotiations. When our president is talking about annexing countries and the Panama Canal, it's not surprising.

Love Glenn and glad he did this. I was going to tag @briantylercohen.bsky.social and say he should say the same, but I see on his profile now that is says "Past: MSNBC". BRAVO! Just be careful of some Democrats that are guests on the show.

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

I find it really disturbing that I keep seeing advertisements on YouTube that I believe are using AI to impersonate celebrities. It's video that is AI-manipulated. The video is choppy mid-sentence. Many of these celebrities / influencers wouldn't be caught dead advertising. They have no need.

Trump just suspended enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a key anti-bribery law signed by Carter in 1977. For 50 years, it stopped corporations from bribing foreign officials. Now, Trump is letting corruption run wild.

I'm not some diehard Lady Gaga fan, but this is a good one.

This is how Russia operates. Invent a conspiracy theory. Then use the government to go after people or organizations based on lies you conjured up.

Someone I was just talking to just flew back into the US and went through Dulles Airport on her way in. She said it was empty. I can't imagine why people wouldn't want to fly now...

Again, buyer beware. Trump has neither the authorization nor an appropriation to fund this, and is bound by a law limiting the value of such payments to $25K. Inducing people into an agreement you can’t and won’t perform is called “fraud in the inducement.”

The billionaires are going to short sell this stock market and then buy it low. Then the tariffs will be lifted and it will recover. Make a killing on the drop, and then make a killing on the recovery. I think it's why we're not hearing much from them on this.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

America is becoming an axis of evil in a new world order.
