The last president who declared that anything he does is legal was Richard M. Nixon. And we all know how things worked out for him . . .

Every day, Americans are bombarded with the bad news of Trump 2.0, and it is exhausting to keep track of and absorb each new outrage. That is the clear intent.

When one is caught in the crossfire, it is hard to see, let alone address, the big picture.

Don't let the daily outrages obscure the big picture.

Got to love how much praise NYT gets for one article, 2+ years late, that literally just rehashes things we all knew already but NYT has spent the last 2 years ignoring & denying & obfuscating.

The New York Times produced a detailed, data-driven report on President Trump showing signs of aging. The president, 79, responded by calling the female reporter who co-wrote the story “ugly.” https://cnn.it/48idUFL

This epic takedown of Trump’s entire cabinet by Jen Psaki would be funny if millions of lives weren’t hanging in the balance because of his no good, incompetent, unqualified, reckless, corrupt, unserious, and flat out dangerous picks.

A member of Congress could literally bet on their own vote and profit 10x. A White House aide could bet on a tariff decision before it’s announced. Theres ZERO oversight. This isn’t innovation, it’s legalized insider trading on democracy itself. Ban Kalshi politics

Kalshi Is a Corruption Time Bomb—and Congress Is Sitting on It
A platform that lets insiders (and legislators) gamble on their own behavior is a threat to democracy.

Art. I of the Constitution gives Congress the power to make rules and regulations for the armed forces — including codes of discipline and strictures against following illegal orders. You can’t punish members of Congress for articulating those rules. Also protected by Speech and Debate Clause.

With typical lack of self-awareness, the narcissistic and stupid Donald Trump reposts an image of himself wearing a crown while sitting on a throne with a Nazi eagle. Hardly a denial of the accusation that he's a Nazi who thinks he's a king.

Cool story, but Tim Burchett was not on Fox & Friends today. The show played a short clip of a previous Fox hit Burchett did and a confused Trump apparently thought it was live. (1/2)
