Pro Tip: Innocent people don’t spend their days attacking judges, that’s what mobsters and despots do. Any lawyer who willingly does business with the White House is a creep & a cretin. I don’t care how much their firm pulls in a year. They’re enabling tyrants and they know it.

There’s an argument that Trump is/was ineligible to be president. It’s at least as strong as (I would say much, much stronger than) the argument against birthright citizenship. What about the argument that pardons by an illegitimate president are ineffective? Might be important in the aftermath.

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

Since I have defended and supported the WaPo in the months since the election and the infamous pulled endorsement, I feel obliged to say: this is very, very bad. A dear friend at a Post vet says it's the worst thing to happen to the Post in its long history, and I can't argue.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

If you are wondering who owns the presidency, watch the press conference with Musk and Trump, it was like a hostage video. He’s being blackmailed and that’s the only reason he let that happen. Elon predicted the swing states FOUR hours before the polls closed. HOW?

Hear me out — If parents call colleges freaked about their FAFSA data being leaked, schools may have to issue statements — which would reach a whole lot more families about how warped this is. Organizing isn’t always calling electeds. Sometimes it’s just calling people with a bigger megaphone.

The Budde sermon, and Trump's reaction to it, distills nearly everything I've written about for the past decade. MAGA believes they define the only true version of Christianity in America. A Christianity that sees Trump as white Christian America's savior, and all other Christianities as dead.
