β€˜He has trouble completing a thought’: bizarre public appearances again cast doubt on Trump’s mental acuity Joe Biden was hounded for his age-related gaffes, but Trump’s increasingly strange behavior has largely been ignored

Time to reread the 25th Amendment?

Breaking from the Office of Pres. Obama:

"Our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response. But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.

Exclusive: US veterans agency orders scientists not to publish in journals without clearance Move that seeks political control of doctors’ and scientists’ published research fits a pattern of censorship by the Trump administration, veterans advocates say

So much for the 1st Amendment rights of freedom of expression!

TACO Trump and his goons are just like any other right-wing authoritarian regime and try to stop anyone disagreeing with them.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Good one, Corey Booker. The fightback starts on the Senate floor.

It's great to see Strom Thurmond's record broken.

Britain has been paying a high price for Uncle Sam’s craziness. It’s time to turn to Europe | Simon Tisdall | Simon Tisdall In his final column, the Observer’s foreign affairs commentator says America under Trump is not the first time it has caused trouble for allies

All those fanboys of the 'Special Relationship' with Uncle Sam should read this.

It is time to move on from this toxic relationship. Can someone please tell the Prime Minister?
