Hegseth can't even bring himself to lie and say he would prefer that Ukraine wins. To him, the important thing is that *Trump* wins, and if not him, then Russia. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Trump is never coherent, but this may be his most baffling post to date. What is anyone—legislators, employers, workers—supposed to do with this? What's happening to the "very good long time workers" who are "almost impossible to replace" & whom he is deporting? "Changes are coming!" Like, um, what?

The one upside to Biden's egocentric refusal to elevate any Cabinet members or other Democratic voices for the entirety of his first term: no White House puppetmaster for Foxlandia to attack. Except 94-year-old George Soros, but presumably even Trump thinks that would be a stretch.

Seriously, 80% of this film is great, and bonus points for Arnold's self-mocking

"ICE officials have detained hundreds of workers, including at a meat-processing plant in Omaha, gas stations in Phoenix, construction sites in Tallahassee & Texas’s Rio Grande Valley, and a pallet manufacturer in Pennsylvania." Horrific, of course, but glad it's not only blue states being targeted.

Fingers crossed! . . . though he'll forever claim that the weather was perfect, and no Republican will dare suggest otherwise

(Incidentally, @mattweiland.bsky.social, you & Sean inscribed my copy at the @barnesandnoble.com book launch—and since then I've had maybe twenty of the authors add their signatures!)

Sounds like a great read! Reminiscent, too, of @mattweiland.bsky.social's essay collection STATE BY STATE: A PANORAMIC PORTRAIT OF AMERICA

As someone still waiting for his first Soros check, I wonder whether even Trump believes his insistence that "most" anti-Trump protesters are paid outside agitators. When pressed, the best his people ever come up with is that organizations w/ paid staffers helped organize the protests, which, yeah.

Am a little surprised that AFAIK no House Republican has yet introduced a resolution to rename the White House the new Trump International Washington, D.C.
