The former head of Kazakhstan’s intelligence service recently claimed that Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987, when the 40-year-old real-estate mogul first visited Moscow. This now makes a total of three KGB agents—located in different places and speaking at different times—who agree on that.

Trump: "We don't need Canada's lumber. So what I'm doing is I'll be signing an executive order freeing up our forests so that we're allowed to take down trees and make a lot of money and then re-harvest trees ... we don't need anything from Canada."

Donald Trump has good days and bad days but increasingly it's only days when he gets confused by basic questions about his signature issue. Brains leaking out his ears. Incapable, senile.

Those three dates, Easter Sunday, Hitler’s birthday and the end date for the recommendation on whether or not to use martial law is quite a “happenstance” that is symbolic to a large portion of the Nazis in the administration. This is the stuff that keeps me up at night. Because it’s coming. Fast.

Popular car models could cost between $4,000 and $12,000 more once Trump’s tariffs take effect on Tuesday. The sweeping tariffs — an import tax paid by American companies that's typically passed along to consumers — will raise prices on vehicles and vehicle parts manufactured in Canada and Mexico.

This sounds hopeful, but NO peace deal will be acceptable to Ukraine unless it includes ironclad security guarantees against future Russian aggression. Putin lies through his teeth, and Russia has repeatedly violated ceasefire agreements in the past.

I had a front row seat to watch 18F get started a dozen years ago by some of the smartest and most dedicated public servants I’ve ever met. Their work saved countless lives, and yes, hundreds of millions, probably billions, of dollars. But just as significantly: it made government more responsive.
