Trump: "I read the paragraphs. I read very well. Great comprehension. I read everything there was to read and I said, 'We can't lose this case.'"

Yes please sir

Appreciate it, Elie. I really busted my ass to cover Trump's presser, live-posting half of it through bad wifi on a flight and then racing to an airport bar to get the rest. If you find value in my efforts, it would mean a lot to me if you signed up for my newsletter: www.publicnotice.co/subscribe

Q: you said “multiple times” that there was foreign influence on the Supreme Court. Do you have any evidence of that?

A: “You’re going to find out. You’re going to find out.”

Translation: no.

Trump has never said anything as critical about Vladimir Putin or any Russian war criminal as he did today about the majority on the US Supreme Court.

One of the creepiest things Trump said was that the families of the justices who voted against him should be ashamed of them. No one asked about the justices' families. Trump brought that up in a comment that has real "we know where you live" and "nice family you got there" vibes.

Trump’s Epic Loss on Tariffs Is Even Worse for Him than You Think The Supreme Court’s stunning invalidation of most of the president’s tariffs is another sign that Trumpist populist nationalism is in crisis.

The Supreme Court's remarkable ruling against tariffs is another sign that Trumpist nationalism is in crisis. Tariffs and deportations are key pillars of Trumpism. Both are major fiascos. Both have caused his approval to crater.

Trumpism is failing.

YMMV (ahem and obvsly), but when I've reserved for a time and drop it off early, they've never retroactively bumped me up to a higher rate.

It remains astounding how unfaithfully the media covers Trump’s ramblings day to day. We’re a decade into this — and his rambling gets worse — and yet the coverage continues to portray his public appearances as if they’re coherent.

Remember, these guys fired all the people who actually know what they're doing because "DEI" and then hired the absolute dumbest people imaginable because of "meritocracy" and... then they do stuff like leaving comments enabled in their "this is how we concentration camp" PDF.

A solid 5 on the Kinsey Scale and his inability to address it (because of the woke, or lack thereof) isn't an insignificant part of his problem.

I just try to ram it in there whenever I can

Trump’s asked about maybe replacing Alito and Thomas and fails to understand that the question presupposes they resign - not die.

White House press corps: please ask him about this!

Useful context here:

So now he's going to abrogate *signed trade deals* to impose 10% tariffs? Awesome.

Why would any country sign an agreement with the United States ever again?

that's good because it doesn't, like "women", automatically imply that the distaff sex are actually people

Trump: "I want to be a good boy"

The president of the United States said at a press conference that he, and I quote, "want to be a good boy."

‘A war room’: Inside Epstein’s campaign to influence public opinion Epstein turned to a group of some of his closest confidants to help him counter the public narrative after a Miami Herald investigation.

Here’s a gift link to a Miami Herald story about Epstein’s pals who tried to help him develop a positive spin about his rape of children:
/ Steve Bannon, Trump ally
/ Ken Starr, ex-solicitor general
/ Kathyrn Ruemmler, Obama ex-deputy counsel
/ Michael Wolff, “journalist”
/ Noam Chomsky, academic

My Lord Chief Justice, speak to that vain man.

Iran just lost 9 of its 10 days.

I feel like we’re already dealing with all the brain damage we can handle.

shofar, sho good

This is gonna be the best or worst night of my life

I’m sure this is going to be a very rational and well-reasoned press conference filled with the wise leadership and diplomacy US Presidents are known for

Hey, there's Mike!

Those tariffs must have been so illegal for the same Supreme Court who ruled “the president can commit crimes as long as he’s wearing his president hat” to decide they’re against the law.

Be the sort of president that doesn’t garner a huge TV audience for your press conference because people are hoping you might stroke out live on the teevee.
