I believe it was at last year’s Munich Conference that JD Vance described how strongly committed the Trump Administration was to protecting First Amendment rights. Gosh, those were the days, weren’t they?

CPB’s use of a laser to shoot at a “drug cartel drone” that was actually just a red balloon near El Paso embodies its failures - poor training and communication, exaggeration of a threat, excessive use of force. The only bright spot was that it didn’t say the balloon was a domestic terrorist.

Let me know when someone finds some beautiful, clean coal. I grew up in a major coal state and I’ve never seen any.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: The man is a total Lutnick.

How does one become a paid bot? It sounds like an easy job. Is the pay good? How does it look on your resume?

When will you offer a t-shirt that makes sense: “Drivers Melt Glaciers”? Cars don’t do anything until we buy them, fuel them, get in them and start doing things with them. And then whatever happens is not the cars’ fault. It’s ours.

His poll numbers are low and he knows it. You can tell he knows it because he's already trying to "nationalize" congressional elections in violation of the Constitution. That's not something you do nine months before the election if you are confident of your popularity.

The current national debt is not $3 trillion. It's over $36 trillion. To pay that off through income taxes you'd need those poor people to earn something like $300 trillion in new income. But math was never his strong suit. That's true for the entire Administration.

"I can keep my oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution so long as I can interpret the Constitution as saying things that it doesn't say."

Once again, ICE agents waste their time detaining people for following them instead of tracking down and arresting undocumented aliens who are criminals. It's almost as if they think their job is to brutalize legal protesters instead of tracking down criminals who are here illegally.

I’ve been practicing that throughout my career. Hopefully it starts to come into vogue.

Calm and cool? They broke one of his ribs!

With the theaters so empty, though, we can have some fun by taking a couple of friends and running to whole showing as if it were an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000. Sit there and comment loudly on everything that happens in the movie. It would be hilarious.

I keep getting Bovino confused with Bongino.

We should be able to sell every program and policy we advocate using arguments that would make sense even if there were no such thing as climate change. Argue health, or comfort, or reliable energy, of just plain saving money. If the climate road is cut off, go down another road that isn’t.

As Stephen Colbert, channeling the deniers, once said: “I had a good meal last night, so world hunger is over!”

Trump will pardon all of them before he leaves office.

$1,000 won't even get you a phony doctor's note for bone spurs in your feet.

Trump has been held liable for lying, cheating and stealing, in one case involving his own family charity.

The dude is such an incredible Lutnick.

Unfortunately, there are many in his party who see some advantage (for themselves) in having a madman in charge, if they think they can work through him to achieve their wish lists.

Trump has recently been issuing pardons to people he has already pardoned before. This guy could be next. Dems need to get behind a constitutional amendment to rein in the pardon power.

The buck never stops anywhere.

His actions and statements will be used as examples in psychiatry classes for decades.

$3 per meal might work for Oliver Twist, but he's not a voter. Trying to talk voters into accepting a minimal diet as a Trump win is not a good formula for winning the midterms.

As titillating as this is, I recommend against reaching any conclusions based on a single day in the stock market. Long-term trends, i.e. looking back at least a month, are more meaningful.

If you look at China's latest annual trade performance (all-time high trade surplus in 2025), you'd think that Trump was pro-China. He doesn't seem to be slowing them down at all.

Restore beef to its traditional niche as a feature of meals consumed on special occasions. Or as a priestly sacrifice.

If we can put a man on the moon, why can't we put Donald Trump on the moon?

I guess now we know why Pete Hegseth spends so much time over at the Department of Labor.
