Remember a year ago when all those athletes were doing the “Trump Dance”? I don’t see anyone doing that anymore

The question of why Trump’s open racism doesn’t hurt him more is a serious question which has an uncomfortable answer - as long as the racism is focused on immigrants it is seen as acceptable to way too many voters.

However, it doesn’t help him - look at election results and polling.

The Trump Admin keeps doing this. It's clear they want singers to attack them for using their music because they feel this brings ICE attention, eyeballs, and new recruits. Luckily there is no evidence that it is working, and pushback like Carpenter's is proving effective against them.
Sabrina Carpenter responds to the WH stealing her song to use as background music in a montage of ICE arrests.

It makes no political sense at this point for the billionaire class to keep investing in Trump. The only way to explain it is that people like Dell are motivated by a sincere belief in the Trump oligarchy.

Remember how Trump claimed his first term was attacked by China "dropping a virus" on the US? He seems to have gotten over it.
President Donald Trump said he has accepted an invitation from Chinese leader Xi Jinping to visit Beijing in April and that he reciprocated by inviting Xi for a state visit to the U.S. later next year.
Trump, Xi spoke on phone Monday to discuss trade, Taiwan and Ukraine, US and Chinese officials say
President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping spoke by phone on Monday to discuss trade, Taiwan and Ukraine, according to the White House and Chinese officials.

Trump is all circuses and no bread
A person directly familiar with the conversations tells Semafor that Donald Trump has personally pressed Larry Ellison to revive Brett Ratner's "Rush Hour" franchise.

A likely explanation for Trump being so nice is that is what his Gulf state benefactors wanted. Zohran is probably more popular in those countries than they are (especially among the young). Trump being mean would cause problems for them and jeopardize their investment in him.

The plan for Fetterman to switch sides if the Dems win the Senate next year is firmly in place

It not a coincidence that the minute Trump started to tighten the screws on the GOP to dump the filibuster, Senate Dems caved. They won’t say it, but a lot of Dem senators like the filibuster. Getting rid of it needs to be a litmus test issue for Dems.

This is funnier than any joke Gutfeld has ever told
Life is short and days are precious, so I’m not going to *recommend* you listen to this interview with Greg Gutfield, but it really is fascinating. One of the best moments comes early:

Mark Levin should write some poetry about his recent experience. Perhaps the first lines could be:

First they came for Muslim Americans
And I supported Trump
Because I was not a Muslim American
Then they came for the Undocumented
And I supported Trump
Because I was not Undocumented…

Erick Erickson thinks Nancy Mace needs help for screaming at airport police. He thought Trump should be in the Oval Office after directing a mob to physically attack Capitol Police. He didn't demand an intervention after Donald pardoned them.

Trump is a Mafia Don who not only demands we kiss the ring but we also pay for it.
CNN’s David Urban, a former Trump campaign adviser and frequent ally of the president’s on the airwaves, was highly critical of Trump’s shakedown of the Department of Justice for $230 million.

Traditionally, the DLCC was responsible for building a D bench to help us avoid the ME train wreck we are seeing (I was unable to find their bluesky account otherwise I would have linked to it!). I know this group from @amandalitman.bsky.social ‘s media appearances. These groups need more support.
312 endorsed this year.
51.6% are people of color.
48.4% are women.
All are the future. 🌟
We’re not waiting for representation — we’re building it.
