We stand by our reporting.

Trump was asked this week how he would determine tariff exemptions for American companies. “Instinctively,” he responded. That’s not a policy — it’s racketeering. Pay Trump. Get a deal.

I propose that all Trump supporters and all Trump haters go out into the street and fight. No guns. No weapons. Just fists and fingernails and teeth. Let's beat the shit out of each other.

As I expected, the government ignored the 9:30 a.m. deadline set by the federal court in Maryland. The court moved the deadline to 11:30 a.m. As I expected, the government ignored the 11:30 deadline. A 1:00 p.m. court hearing was scheduled. As I expected, the government demanded it be canceled.

I’m getting back into #TheDiplomat because watching shows about highly competent people comforts me. I’m rewatching S1 finale and then will finally get into S2.

Brooke Rollins goes full Pyongyang: "What you have assembled in your vision is a turning point and inflection point in American history. And so just being a part of that is being the greatest honor. Thank you for that."

S&P 500 session lows down over 6%, worst day since March 2020. Incredible scenes.

This is largely on elderly Dems who keep selfishly running because they want to die in office, but voters are partly responsible. If someone 70+ is running for reelection, no matter how much you like them or appreciate what they did for a cause 20 years ago, vote for the other person in the primary.
