This man ripped off teachers, nurses, small business owners - people from all walks of life and professions. Some lost their life savings. Not only did Trump let him out of prison, he also doesn’t have to pay back the victims.

"A sickening moral slum of an administration" George Will's verdict.

There is a temptation is to describe what happened yesterday as somehow a “new low.”

But it’s not a new low. It’s the same old low. A scene we’ve seen repeated so often there is a kind of numbness to it.

📌"The killing of the survivors by this moral slum of an administration should nauseate Americans. A nation incapable of shame is dangerous, not least to itself. As the Ukraine "peace plan" demonstrated.
Pete Hegseth seems to be a war criminal. Without a war. An interesting achievement."

Republican Wins Tennessee House Race After a Trump-Led Rescue Mission

“Democrats are bullish that the contest portended Trump’s political weaknesses entering 2026. Roughly 100 Republican-held seats were less pro-Trump in 2024 than Tennessee’s Seventh, and Democrats need to flip only three seats to win a House majority next year.”

Trump Appears to Fight Sleep During Cabinet Meeting

Kushner’s Moscow mission wasn’t just corrupt. It was unconstitutional. Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, has been traveling the world to participate in high-stakes foreign policy negotiations on behalf of the president.

Just FYI, Kushner's actions are pretty clearly unconstitutional:
