Authoritarianism—not patriotism Same guy who sat in a cabinet meeting while his handpicked cronies took turns praising him like a cult leader, wants tanks rolling down the street to celebrate him. Money’s no object —taxpayer-funded.

Trump has blatantly lied or made outrageously misleading claims about grocery prices, the cost of gas, and much more. The numbers don’t lie, but Trump sure as hell does. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/tru...

This man is clearly a demented sociopath. That he is one of the central architects of Trumpism is testimony to its malevolence and to the profound defects of the man who elevated him and has kept him close for years, Trump himself.

Miller, Homan, Martin, Kennedy, much of this administration is an extremist freak show. Normalizing them is profoundly dangerous and happening every day. Every story about them should detail their unfitness.

There’s no point correcting this. There’s no reason to expect this travesty of a human to be any less ignorant on history than he is on every other fathomable topic. So as a 20th Century military historian I’ll just say that those Americans who serve in both wars would be ashamed of this.

Texas Republicans are back with the creepy “Furries Act”—a total waste of tax dollars and legislative time over a fake litter box conspiracy. If this were real, kids would be flooding social media with videos. They’re not. Because it’s nonsense.

Fascinating to hear Trump voters express regret—especially on pocketbook issues like tariffs. But until they admit not voting for Kamala was a mistake, it doesn’t mean much. Case in point: “I didn’t think [tariffs] would be put in play in a juvenile way.” 💡Meanwhile that’s what was on the ballot

Kissinger was both Sec State and NatSec Advisor because he was such a potent force within the Nixon Admin. Rubio has both jobs (and his acting gigs running AID and the National Archives) because he is so weak, the kind of toady Trump wants everywhere in the USG. www.thedailybeast.com/the-real-rea...

The Trump administration halted $1 billion for mental health services for children, saying that the programs funded by a bipartisan law aimed at stemming gun violence in schools were no longer in “the best interest of the federal government.”

Call it something fancy like "malfeasance" or something simple like "incompetence" but either way there should be articles of impeachment to remove the HHS secretary for being a shameless liar who is working relentlessly to make people sick.

The Senate is expected to vote on a resolution that would undo the sweeping tariffs that President Trump imposed on most countries. If the measure passes the Senate, it most likely either won't be taken up or will be voted down in the GOP-led House.
