In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

I'd put this a bit more sharply than @steveinskeep.bsky.social probably can: Trump simply does not understand any boundary between himself and the government. He has no sense of the public interest and believes the government is an extension of himself personally. open.substack.com/pub/steveins...

This updates and confirms previous analyses by Adam on the distribution of probationary cuts. DOGE was broadly a downsizing project, but a highly ideological one.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

Russia has suffered over 1 million casualties, killed and injured, since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. By contrast, in nearly a decade of war in Afghanistan, the Soviet Union suffered around 50,000 to 65,000 casualties. Putin doesn’t have the cards.

"Biden was old but governed normally. Trump governs erratically because he’s unglued. That’s the true cover-up, one the media is enabling when they seem more concerned with the mental condition of a former president than the escalating madness of the current one."
