Trump to generals: "Last month, I signed an executive order to provide training for a quick reaction force that can help quell civil disturbances. This is gonna be a big thing for the people in this room, because it's the enemy from within & we have to handle it before it gets out of control"

Krishnamoorthi on the FBI raiding Bolton's house: "It looks like it's also an attempt to distract from the other big news of the day, which is the first production of the Epstein files that is required by subpoena from the Oversight Committee and they want to change the conversation."

Supreme Court is going to have to step in, and I'm not too excited about the answer. Roberts may gut the Voting Rights Act even further.

Republicans thinking they can parse this debate to say that most of a trillion dollars. in cuts to Medicaid, at least, aren't really cuts, feels like the kind of mistake only Democrats usually make.

Many American voters are likely to excessively overcorrect from 2024-2025 to look for honest, authentic, effective, consistent communicators who don’t rely on slogans and platitudes in 2026-28. They aren’t plentiful.

How it is.

Thank you for coming to my ED Talk.

Puppet Trump is saying nonsense again, so let me remind him:

If you want Russia’s war in Ukraine to end, grow a spine and tell Putin to get the hell out of Ukraine!

Odd, how the United States doesn't have enough money to give sick veterans healthcare, impoverished seniors Social Security, or hungry schoolkids lunches, but it does have enough money to pay a Central American dictator millions to torture American residents in his brutal concentration camp.

"Trump was so certain that every other world leader would capitulate because he has such a distorted perception of how people act, in that he is surrounded by the most groveling, sycophantic, obsequious hangers-on with their mouths latched onto his ass."

140. The Disturbing Myopia of Trump v. J.G.G. In normal times, it might be possible to defend the Supreme Court's 5-4 ruling on Monday vacating a pair of temporary restraining orders in the Alien Enemy Act case. But these aren't normal times.
