I'm pretty sure most of you were upset about Saudi Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman, in the "Golden" Oval Office. The man Donald Trump's own CIA determined ordered the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
@joecirin.bsky.social was, too.

When you are drawing up war plans and starting to implement them, it can be hard to stop the march to war. There's historical precedent for this. @joecirin.bsky.social with the history and the flashing red lights today.

What happens in the Caribbean stays in the Caribbean? Not so fast. If Donald Trump can get the military to follow his illegal orders there, his next step could be in US cities. @joecirin.bsky.social makes the connection.

With so much going on with Donald Trump's domestic disasters, it's hard to keep track of Trump's foreign disasters. But today we tackle Ukraine, Venezuela, Gaza and Saudi Arabia.

"You can tell who a man is by his friends. A ruthless dictator, a convicted pedophile & a man accused by the CIA of approving the murder of an American journalist. I'll leave it up to you. You tell me what those three friends tell you about Donald Trump."

"There’s nothing Washington likes more than a scandal. Most quickly fade away. But every once in a while, there’s a scandal that takes root, that just won’t go away. Nixon had Watergate, Clinton had Whitewater and Trump now has Jeffrey Epstein."
Trump gives a lesson in how not to handle a scandal
President Trump has mishandled the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, fanning the flames of a baseless conspiracy theory and making numerous mistakes in his attempts to release the Epstein files.

Even if you think Donald Trump had nothing to do with Epstein's young girls, there is another reason he's desperate to pretend they hardly knew each other. His close friend Jeffrey knew the true (dark) nature of the man.

Don't be fooled (I know you aren't) by Donald Trump's efforts to pretend he and Jeffrey Epstein were not close. Check out this exchange with @michaelwolffnyc.bsky.social, a man once close to both of them.

With Epstein and Trump in the news together last week and for sure this week, we thought we'd re-run the interview Bill did with Michael Wolff, a confidant of Epstein with the truth of the Trump/Epstein bromance. Very juicy.

"What do those emails tell us? They prove that everything Trump said about the Epstein affair is a another lie. He was Epstein's close friend, did hang out at Epstein's house, did fly on Epstein's plane, knew Epstein and Maxwell were recruiting girls."

Remember all the talk of a huge realignment of the electorate toward the GOP? Young people-people of color??
It lasted one cycle. Whew! Ron Brownstein with the details.

Friends, the pod with CNN's @ronbrownstein.bsky.social is up and the GOP losses last Tuesday are actually worse than they looked at first. And portend big trouble for the GOP in the midterms. Wait until you find out WHO is causing the problem.

The voters made clear "they’re tired of the pablum offered by fossils of both parties. They’re hungry for a new, younger generation of leadership: new blood, new energy, new faces, and bold, new ideas." My new column.
PS: New pod coming later today with Ron Brownstein

Friends and neighbors. There will be a new podcast episode today, just later than usual. It's with top political analyst Ron Brownstein. We'll talk about the great election day for Democrats and the not so great shutdown cave. Look for it later this afternoon.

"Americans are tired of today's sclerotic political leadership. Experience is not such a big deal anymore because politicians with years of experience got us into today's mess. Young leaders are the future of the Party. Old fossils like Schumer are not."

"Mamdani’s remarkable success contains several important lessons which Democrats would be foolish to ignore. The first is that the age issue is real.
Second lesson: Bread and butter. That’s all Mamdani talked about. His one key issue was “affordability.”

For those of you who might think the Butler PA assassination attempt on lDonald Trump was staged, @jonathankarl.bsky.social says absolutely not. But what happened just after was vintage Trump.
