The Art of Letting Trump Claim a Win, While Walking Away Stronger

Not at the @nytimes.com, at least. “‘I think it’s an approach that can safely be described as tactics without a strategy,’ said Jonathan Czin, a fellow at the Brookings Institution who previously analyzed Chinese politics at the C.I.A.”

As an aside, raise one up for Rylan Masterson, who lent his name to the lawsuit, even if he was unlikely to benefit personally.

The issue here is people view this contextually. If they believe ICE is going after gang, criminals, they don't mind doing this to people obstructing deportation. If you understand they are going after decent non-criminals, then you view this differently. Officials have to educate its the latter.

It appears Sioux City’s Kiernan Poulin (UMass) and Garin Ludwig (Mich St) are no longer committed.

Trump Is Accusing Foes With Multiple Mortgages of Fraud. Records Show 3 of His Cabinet Members Have Them. The White House has targeted opponents, including a Fed governor, for having more than one primary residence on their loan papers. ProPublica found that, in one case, a Trump cabinet secretary got two...

Strong reporting here from ProPublica, which found that three Trump Cabinet members -- at Labor, Transportation and EPA -- call multiple homes their primary residence on mortgages.

That's the same move that led Trump to fire Lisa Cook from her job at the Fed. bit.ly/466yMyI

The theatre around RFK is great and all, but his holding a position as HSS Secretary is failed state behavior, and everyone who facilitated it should be drummed out of public life.

Massie (R-KY) is just on fire: "I don't know if that's precedented in this country to have a president call legislators to say that they're engaged in a hostile act, particularly when the so-called hostile act is trying to get justice for people who've been victims of sex crimes." #TrumpEpstein

This is a damning anecdote from Rep Jim McGovern. He tells me that during debate over Trump's big budget bill, House Rs privately admitted to him that it would screw over their own constituents, yet they had to vote for it anyway.

Read all of it. He wrecks them:

NEW COMMIT: '07 G Samuel Meloche commits to NU. Meloche was a stud for the QMJHL R-N Huskies last year as a rookie and a 4th round pick of the Sabres in the 2025 NHL Draft. Out of Lac-St-Louis, the same junior program as Devon Levi. More to come. Big day for NU. Congratulations Samuel!

Yes, that episode was a set-up, but one done by a Hale & Dorr trial lawyer who knew the value of focusing public perception on the core weakness of the other side.

It is a failure of rhetorical skill by Dems -- focusing on individual falsehoods instead of pointing out the all-encompassing gass-lighting of the public, and how this is the only mechanism he has to support his "policies." McCarthyism was brought down in the end by the "have you no decency" framing

The press ** does** do its job of identifying and documenting falsehoods. The problem is they do not frame conclusion: afraid to ask him ultimate question of "why do you have to lie so much about basic facts?" Until he has to answer that question, he remains unaccountable for these separate lies.
