No. He wants to influence the 2028 Democratic primary.
Welp. Looks like he's running for re-election
Hispanic voters are now the ultimate swing demographic. In a Blacker and browner America, they are increasingly the group up for grabs.
It began with cost of living and tariffs. Then it went into overdrive after Trump sent ICE and troops into Los Angeles.
It feels like people equate the “Democratic Party” with its leaders even if they like individual Democrats.
Absolutely. His hair is about to get a lot less slick given that blockade on the Strait of Hormuz.
There are plenty of reasons to criticize Gavin Newsom. His dyslexia isn’t one of them.
In fairness, Sonia Rao, who is a disability reporter at NYT, wrote an excellent piece about how Trump’s use of that word caused an explosion of its use on social media.
Dude, I wrote about it at the time for the Indy and MSNBC. You can’t play that game with me of blaming the press when I literally asked Mike Johnson. Have a good day.
Just blatant ableism from Trump. On the same level as his mocking of Serge Kovaleski and using the R-word for Tim Walz

Thom Tillis being defiant as ever. As I wrote in my profile, he is not directly criticizing Trump, but he's definitely making his dissatisfaction with the administration known, and not apologizing for it. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

I’m so old I remember when Reagan proudly said that what distinguished America was that anyone could become equally an American, regardless of where they had been born.
Right. Trump has this incredible inelasticity. He's been a politician for a decade, but foslks say "he isn't a politician. He tells it like it is" even as he flip-flops constantly.
This feels like the most rational decision given how many people on BOTH sides knew Jeffrey Epstein
Never play under the terms your opponent has set.
Kennedy tells us once the U.S. leaves Iran, "you will see oil prices go down like a fat guy on a seesaw."
Cornyn knows that Senate Majority Leader John Thune doesn't have the votes to nuke the filibuster for the SAVE Act. He doesn't even believe this. He is just trying to force Paxton out of the race. But it makes him look weak. He's playing on Paxton's turf.
Ali Khamenei was a midlevel religous cleric who didn't have the credentials that the Khomeini had. It left him vulnerable. His son does not have that weakness.

The most fascinating part about Mojtaba Khamenei to me: Unlike his dad, he seems to have actual religious cleric credentials and is also far more hardline than his father even before the U.S. killed his family.

DOOCY: You said it's an 'excursion,' and you said it's a 'war.' So which is it?
TRUMP: Well, it's both. It's an excursion that will keep us out of war. For them it's war. For us it's turned out to be easier than we thought.
Iran was expected to take part in the World Cup that will be held across North America, but the country's sports and youth minister told state television that his country’s soccer team players are not safe in the U.S., according to a video of the interview posted.

Russia is helping Iran with advanced drone tactics from its war in Ukraine to hit US and Gulf nation targets in the Middle East, according to a Western intelligence official.
As a certified Kobe Bryant hater, I feel like he would recognize that records are meant to be broken and he’s respect the apex predator attitude.
My rough timeline:
If the Strait reopens in the coming week, we have weeks of energy market disruption ahead but things have settled by the Autumn.
If the Strait is closed for another 3/4 weeks we have months of disruption.
If the Strait is closed for longer things get very bad, very quickly.
