I have no surprise left to summon that Donald Trump felt no moral restraint when posting vile, juvenile and hideously racist imagery of President Obama and his wife.
I am, however, astonished that it remains up to this moment and the White House is even attempting to defend itself.

It's simple really, when it's outrage over some obvious and quickly corrected slip from a Democrat it's genuine and must be covered on a minimum of 3 front pages, when it's outrage about the President on yet another gutter racism jag, it's fake and will never make the print edition.

I was a White House ethics lawyer.
I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules.
I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.

Foreign countries are bribing our president to sell out the American people.
Trump family businesses made $187 MILLION from this deal, and just months later he gave the UAE some of our most top-secret AI tech.
They are selling our national security to the highest bidder.

👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

You just know Schumer and Jeffries are furiously drafting legislation that will require the Trump regime to stop arresting Americans for exercising their rights to free speech
The national Press Club released the following statement on the arrest of Don Lemon:
"The world is watching closely, and the implications of this case extend far beyond any one reporter."

I can't believe in the year 2026, it is too much to ask, too bold a hope to simply: do meaningful work, be fairly compensated, be able to retire on your own terms and live out your golden years in a modest retirement.
None of this should be controversial or rare in the wealthiest nation on earth.

NO SENATE VOTE TONIGHT
Couldn’t get all senators to allow a speedy vote. Schumer tells reporters Lindsey Graham is blocking it. “That’s the holdup,” Schumer tells reporters. Graham wants to keep a provision letting him sue to pocket $500,000 over J6 phone records seized.

They give up the game with "have you not learned?" The message is clear. They believe they have unfettered charter to murder citizens, full stop, and if you so much as inconvenience them by exercising your Constitutional rights (or simply existing) you are responsible for your own death.

It took me years to learn that hypocrisy doesn't really embarrass conservatives, because "values" are not really important to them.
It is always power, and who is allowed to wield it. If laws and values contradict their view of who should have power, they become irrelevant.

Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told:
DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big)
CBP stays at border
warrants for arrests
IDs, bodycams
ICE out of churches, schools
"That package unites a lot of Dems," Sen Chris Murphy tells me on the pod:
