Trump's top China adviser Peter Navarro regularly quoted fictional expert whose name is anagram of his own Donald Trump's top China adviser regularly quotes a made-up expert whose name is an anagram of his own surname, it has emerged.

Just when you think Trump’s economic policies can’t get any weirder (or more damaging to our economy)…it turns out that Trump’s economic advisor on tariffs MADE UP HIS ECONOMIC SOURCES by fabricating an expert using an anagram of his own name.

What!?

Guys, guys, guys. It’s not math. It’s not finance. It’s not economics.

It’s all about psychology. Abnormal psychology.

Read the DSM-5’s chapters on Cluster B personality disorders.

And then it all becomes clear.

Because they are evil, we must stand up to them.

But because they are also stupid, we needn’t be afraid to.

Really love this cartoon from the great Michael De Adder. The outpouring of support coming in has been truly amazing! Thanks everybody!

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good.

Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

His cartoon work spans various subjects ranging from local issues based in Asheville to more national political events and even to one-off, word-play-oriented jokes. ❤️ Give credit to artists when you can.

Sadly, I can.

Schiff: "I've been in Congress a long time approving aid after disasters. I never once even considered 'is this hurricane hitting a red or blue state?' ... we need the incoming president to view it that way."

Almost sounds like he would be in favor of DEI......I hope they ruin each other.

It's vice chair.

The New Republic is doing it right. Journalists take note

Thank you!

A street is orange from flames and you can see the high winds in the palm trees. Sparks fly down the street

A fire truck is engulfed in parks and flames are seen on the hill. The entire photo is red and orange from the fire

A fireman with a hose runs across the front of a house in flames in the background

The inside of a house is a ball of flames. The only visible thing inside is a burning Christmas tree

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer.

These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP.

Mike Luckovich gets it right as he always does

A lot of people will criticize @johnfetterman.com for visiting trump. Don't. Imo, the best way to win voters is to do all you can to represent your constituents first. Your party last. Voters want results. If he can use Trump to get that. Amen.

I was interviewed at CES this morning. We mentioned that consumers will decide whether they want to be on a platform that is “unfiltered free speech “ or “ moderated”. I mentioned that I loved @bsky.app , and spontaneously people started clapping 🔥.

Perfect. It's all part of his distract and deflect routine.

🤯 Damascus, Syria tonight.

2025 will be the first year free of Assad tyranny since 1971 — more than half a century.

Tell him, Mark!

"You voted for the guy because he was anti-immigration. Now he's going to let immigrants take the high-paying jobs but throw the fruit pickers out. His boss told you to go F your own face, then scolded you the next day, saying you should be nicer. What am I missing here?"

In 1979, Jimmy Carter had solar panels installed at the White House.

Ronald Reagan had them removed.

We may be able to trace back the current "Do Harmful Things if it Trolls the Libs" Republicanism to Reagan removing those panels the far more forward thinking Carter had installed.
