You will NEVER convince me that this yo-yo approach to tariffs isn't yet one more YUGE grift - FORTUNES are no doubt being made by a lot of insiders and speculators who are buying, shorting and selling on the roller coaster stock market that responds to every one of Trump's tariff "announcements".

All media should stop referring to "Trump Tariffs" and instead call them "Republican Tariffs". Yes, Trump's idiocy is central to this, but until the GOP House members/Senators can find a spine among them to rise up, dump him & control his craziness, REPUBLICANS need to OWN every bit of this shit.

Not a single person out of 18 of the very most senior officials in this Admin — including the Director of National Intelligence and the CIA Director — voiced any concern with highly classified military plans circulated on Signal. You also can be sure this is not the only time.

As gobsmacked as we are re: Hegseth et al sending war plans on Signal & being outed when they stupidly sent it to the wrong (GOOD) guy, a FAR more worrying questions is "How many other times has this gone on undetected, and what other classified NatSec info has gone out (been intercepted?) already?

Buttigieg: What if this had, in fact, gone to somebody else? I mean, somebody who could plausibly be in some of these people's cell phones. I don't know, the Chinese ambassador or Russian negotiator. And the other question on my mind is how many other times has something like this happened?

Hey Greenland, why are you letting Americas planes land there? Why don’t you deny Usha Vance and the crew landing clearance? Fight back now or don’t be shocked when you can’t

I already cancelled my @washingtonpost.com sub; the @nytimes.com is next. Today's opinion Newsletter headline: "Trump bends the rule of law". Really? REALLY??? Let me fix that for you: "Trump continues to break the law at every chance he gets, and no one seems able or willing to stop him."

So let me get this straight: The guy who repeatedly says that there would have never even been a war in Ukraine if *he* had been President instead of Biden, can't even "negotiate" a full ceasefire with his best buddy Vlad? 'Splain *that* one to me!
