I marched in New Orleans this morning. I think the only sign I disagreed with was "Golf sucks!"

Though it is a really difficult, challenging game, golf is actually kinda fun. :)

I live in New Orleans, which has a large Honduran population--or had one. The road construction all around my house has almost completely stopped. I spoke with the foreman, and he told me that almost no one is showing up to work anymore. They've either gone home or are cooped up in their apartments.

Well, sure, but you wouldn’t beβ€”if this were Biden, well, first of all, he wouldn't do an interview because he was grossly incompetent.

We spoke to him last year, Mr. President. 

Huh?

We spoke to him a year ago. 

How did he do?

You can read the interview yourself. 

Not too good. I did read the interview. He didn't do well. He didn't do well at all. He didn't do well at anything. And he cut that interview off to being a matter of minutes, and you weren't asking him questions like you're asking me.

The entire transcript of Time's interview with Trump is insane. Just to pick one moment: Trump says Biden would never do an interview with Time, then when told that he had asks how it went, then when told he can read it himself says that he had read it and it didn't go well

For a week or two I allowed myself to hope that Trump's fear of looking weak by capitulating to an intransigent Putin would coerce him to do right by Ukraine. I was naΓ―ve.

I have to hand it to them. Step 1: Tell us they’re making registries to track conditions that use our medical records to put us on lists. Step 2: Watch doctor visits and health screenings plummet as we fear being on the big list of β€œburdens on society.” Step 3: Declare victory over disease

man on any other day, the S&P losing 5% would be shocking news.

Vietnamese factory workers make $300 per month. Do we really want to punish Vietnam so that we can bring those jobs back to the US?

I'm starting to think that all the outrage over Hillary's emails was purely political.

I wonder if any repubs in congress ever stop and think "man if Biden had done this ..."

Tariffs are trump's little plaything that he can give and take at his whim. "Oh those carmakers were nice. Let's give them a month."

Worth noting that when the war started Zelensky’s English was very shaky and he’s clearly spent a ton of time improving it for exactly this purpose.

β€œWhat is the difference between Greenland and Donald Trump?”: Sen. Amy Klobuchar gets booed for joke at press event. What is the difference between Greenland and Donald Trump? Greenland is not for sale. Okay, for any Republican Trump administration person out there that want to throw eggs at me as a result of that j...

This actually made me laugh:

"'Eggs are a disaster,' President Trump said during a cabinet meeting on Wednesday."

It's really amazing to me that Musk could have ever been successful at anything.

Can we remember for a second that trump was elected to lower the price of eggs? NYT:

"Waffle House said it would add a temporary surcharge of 50 cents for each egg used in dishes ... smaller restaurant chains and bakeries that use a lot of eggs are bumping prices up or adding temporary surcharges"

Just read this in a Dana Milbank op-ed:

"Clearly, there is no hope of good-faith negotiation with Trump, or with Johnson ... Let them raise the debt ceiling on their own."

Milbank is still living in 2016. Nobody needs to raise the debt ceiling anymore--trump can just borrow as much as he likes.

Lawrence has really gotten better over the last year or two. This is excellent.
