MORE: The local crew foreman on the NASHVILLE tunnel dig says Elon’s Boring Company has been wildly late on pay, and has been trying to hire his guys behind his back.

He also says despite what Steve Davis said about safety, the situation is dangerous.

Himes: "In combination with the Russia plan and the lethal strikes on drug boats, what the world is seeing is that the Trump administration is purely performative. It doesn't matter what really happens so long as in the moment when you're very mad at Mark Kelly, you threaten to Court-martial him."

Is there an amount of wealth you can acquire that helps you sleep better at night when, as a specially appointed official representing the US, you side with and embrace a murderous dictator like Putin? Does material wealth make Witkoff feel good about that? How much does it take?

Dear foreign tourists,
Don’t come to the U.S. right now. We’re not fit for company. If you do come, wear makeup that makes you look very white. Otherwise, federal thugs may smash the windows of your rental car or tear-gas you. Or worse. Better stay away and see whether we defeat the fascists.

DOGE has been a FLOP, now disbanded 8 months early. Greatly exaggerating their "success" Trump and Musk lied to the taxpayers, never delivering a cent back to them. The real impact: slashing research, endangering public health, removing competent public servants, & creating chaos.

The mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew was arrested in Revere, MA by ICE for being a criminal illegal alien. She came to the US in a B2 tourist visa and was supposed to leave in 1999. It’s hard to believe that Karoline didn’t know. Rules for thee, but not for me.

Remember when Trump’s sons announced a made-in-the-USA smartphone and a new wireless service, Trump Mobile?

Three months later, the phone’s ship date keeps getting delayed with no explanation — although the company continues to collect $100 deposits.

The grift never ends.
The Trump Mobile phone is nowhere to be found after months of delay
Trump Mobile has posted conflicting photos of the phone and scrubbed mention of its “Made in the USA” promise.

While this NYT article pulls punches on Trump's madness, impulsivity, and delusions, it's useful in that it creates space for other articles about Trump's age and clear cognitive and physical decline to follow. Gift link.

The national security adviser is supposed to oversee policy coordination. The secretary of State is supposed to lead on diplomatic negotiations. In theory, neither would be the clean-up crew, because they’re supposed to prevent the mess from happening in the first place.

So, a senior Justice Department official — along with several members of Congress — used the authority of their offices to boost an obviously dubious conspiracy theory accusing a federal employee of a horrific crime.

And now it’s clear the allegation was baseless.
