"Trump turns being artless into an art form. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid." -Nate White

I'm sorry what? A New York real estate guy cos-playing as a diplomat says he trusts that Putin won't invade Europe? Yeah, let's go with that shall we?

Do you get it yet, law firms? What’s happening isn’t an isolated threat to Paul Weiss or Covington or Perkins Coie. It’s an existential threat to the independence of the legal profession. You’re a fool if you think you won’t be next. Say something. Do something.

@warnock.senate.gov: "If they're interested in waste, fraud, and abuse, they should start with co-president Musk's own companies, and ask why has he gotten $20 billion and more from the federal government. This is wealth-fare at its worst."

NEW: I just spoke to the Vindmans and Alex hasn’t used his clearance for over five years - since he left the White House in February 2020. Trump is a large child.

Casar: You can quickly explain Doge with just two numbers. First: $8 million a day. That’s how much Elon Musk collects in federal government contracts. Second: $65 a day. That’s how much the average senior—someone who has worked their entire life—gets from Social Security.…

Trump’s Commerce Secretary just said seniors shouldn’t “call and complain” if they stop getting their Social Security checks: “A fraudster always makes the loudest noise screaming and complaining.”

It's been several hours since I first watched this clip of billionaire Howard Lutnick ruminating about Social Security, and I still can't believe it. It's a rub-your-eyes-in-disbelief moment.

Just sent this text to my law school classmate, who is the chairman of Sullivan & Cromwell, and is representing Donald Trump on his criminal appeal, and who I suspect helped broker the Paul Weiss deal. Brad Karp is the chairman of Paul Weiss.

Musk is rich because you gave him $38 billion in tax money to make that. He is happy to tell you what you don’t need. He’s also picking a side in foreign policy, and it’s not our side

Well, looks like we’re already here. The Trump administration willfully defied a court order. Hopefully the court will hold the government in contempt. What happens next is going to tell us exactly what direction we are headed

That is both messed up and disgraceful! You can’t just delete history! Arlington National Cemetery has removed information about prominent Black, Hispanic, and female service members, as well as topics such as the Civil War, from its website.

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

The Justice Department is not the president's personal law firm. You are not his lawyers. The free press should be exactly that — free. If the facts they report don’t align with the president’s propaganda, tough. And this statement is a disgrace to the DOJ and the rule of law.
