When Trump’s ‘own morality’ is the only guardrail An assertion that seems more like a threat than a balm.

“My own morality.” By conventional standards, Trump has none. His life is a veritable junkyard of examples, but I’ll highlight two of them.

This bill could have passed in the middle of the night. By speaking this long, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries guarantees that this bill will be voted on in broad daylight.

At a time when Trump is putting pressure on Dem elected officials around the country, Ellison is the least bit afraid. “I might have felt pressure, but I have not felt one iota of intimidation. I’m not scared of his goddamn jail.” www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Opinion | This Iowan’s raw anger could make him the new anti-Trump Nathan Sage is running against Republican Sen. Joni Ernst with a tone we usually hear from MAGA.

“There’s a war at home and we’re losing. Unions under attack. Farmers f---ed over.” he says in the video. “Only 2% of Congress come from the working class. We built the damn table. It’s time we had a seat at it.” www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Opinion | Is Nathan Sage the new anti-Trump voice of the Democratic Party? The Iowan veteran is running against Republican Sen. Joni Ernst with a tone we usually hear from MAGA.

“I live in the real world. This is how we talk,” Nathan Sage told me. “I’m going to say the things that need to be said so people understand that we’re tired of what’s going on. We’re going to fight for what we believe in.”

A reminder from FDR…

Airliners abort landings as Army helicopter makes ‘scenic’ loop around Pentagon The Black Hawk was trying to land at the Pentagon’s heliport, bringing it close to a pair of airliners, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

Two airliners abandoned landing attempts at Washington’s Reagan National Airport on Thursday afternoon when an Army Black Hawk took a “scenic route” near the flight path and circled the Pentagon before landing at a military heliport.

Seen on the way to dinner…
