MAGA Wanted a Puppet—Amy Coney Barrett Gave Them a Judge The MAGA crowd is turning on Amy Coney Barrett after she ruled against Trump. Now they’re calling her a “bad nominee” and a “disgrace.” Turns out, blind loyalty matters more than the law in Trump’s world.

The Most Memorable Moment Of Trump’s Speech: It wasn’t Rep. Al Green (D-TX) being escorted out of the House chamber or the long list of Trump absurdities. Nope, it was Trump rubbing Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts’ face in their mutual corruption: talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

Last night’s joint address to Congress was filled with lies, all designed to distract you from the truth. Trump is failing to deliver on any of his promises to the American people. When it comes to lowering prices or protecting free speech, Trump is doing the opposite.

Maybe watching Ukrainians - outgunned and outmanned but still eager to fight for democracy in muddy fields with their bare hands - has made us wonder why leaders aren’t rising to fight for ours in antiseptic climate-controlled office buildings where their biggest concern is losing the next election.

In case you're wondering, yes, they do in fact incorporate Trump's comments last night that Musk is in charge of DOGE. Pretty quick addition for a lawsuit which has likely been in the works for months!

🚨 INFURIATING: Trump & Elon Musk are gutting the VA, firing Veterans, and sabotaging their care. Jammie Mosser served this country for 30 years. He took a job helping fellow Veterans—then got kicked to the curb after just one month. Now they want to axe up to 83,000 more.

It remains a disgrace and a scandal itself that this kind of commentary is normal. If Karine Jean-Pierre or Jen Psaki had even said something half as dickish as this it would have been a scandal on Fox News for months and led to congressional hearings.

I sure would like to know who has been buying the dips right before Trump announces he has changed his mind and reverses a tariff. Seems like valuable information in the markets to know when he announces a tariff and when he’s going to rescind it.

My God: they are selling off federal buildings and no longer planning on collecting revenues. Again, none of this is about efficiency. I know the IRS is not popular, but for every dollar invested it generates about $7 in returns. The goal is not to save money but to stop collecting it.
