I cannot believe how many Dem leaders are failing the “It is wrong to kidnap people for exercising free speech” test.

I've never been more embarrassed for my country. This is shameful - the leader of the free world reduced to reading ad copy so his buddy's stock goes up. The Shining City on the Hill is nothing more than a bunch of Temu ads.

BREAKING: Perkins Coie sues Trump, seeks TRO, over last week's executive order targeting the law firm — which I wrote about over the weekend at Law Dork (www.lawdork.com/p/trump-test...). As was reported Monday, Williams & Connolly is representing Perkins Coie in the litigation.

Here's the full email about the classified and personnel records destruction, which just hit the public record in labor groups' litigation against the Trump admin. The groups say: "Defendants are, as this motion is being filed, destroying documents with potential pertinence to this litigation."

As Philip points out here, it's not 27-dimension chess. People-- who otherwise might be predisposed to buy an EV-- hate Elon and Trump. So they buy EVs from somewhere else.

Trump: Some of the best people on Wall Street are saying the only reason the economy is good is because they think Trump's gonna get elected. That's the only reason the stock market is up.

There's an old line about Trump supporters: "Frequently wrong, but always certain." I've never, ever seen that in more stark relief than in this 44 second clip. It's extraordinary. They're unreachable.

The economy is down. What's passed is wildly unpopular. What's threatening to pass is even worse. Trump has rapidly alienated a lot of people. The GOP is quickly approaching default on its political capital. Meeting them "halfway" is giving them a lifeline. Why bail them out on anything?

I know not a thing of this man's politics. I do know his treatment by the White House is profoundly un-American.

“You are a traitor.” An absurd and insulting thing to say to anyone who posts what Senator Kelly did. And even more insulting since he served as a U.S. Navy captain and a NASA astronaut. Kelly was a combat pilot and flew 39 combat missions during Operation Desert Storm in the Gulf War.

Ruth was my editor when I contributed to the Post. She’s the best, as a human being and a journalist. I can’t imagine how painful to her the destruction of the institution to which she devoted her amazing career as a reporter, editorial writer, and editor must be. It’s heartbreaking.
