average against the machine
Look, I know it seems excessive that Kristi Noem needs a 70 million dollar luxury jet, but there are certain things you can’t do in an air force jet. Like, um… high level meetings.

I still think the best way to think of the ending of US AID is as the single worst genocide committed by any one US presidential administration.

even given all the horrific things the US has done, it's not really that close. 750k dead already; expected 14 million.
this is exactly why I am absolutely not willing to overlook anyone who was once “advocating for ending USAID” as merely committing a little oopsie-daisy-booboo, by the way
The Project 2025 author is using millions of dollars in USAID money for his own security detail.

It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children.

Vought is a mass murderer.

Has anyone seen that Nobel lately?
President Donald Trump sang the praises of acting Venezuelan president Delcy Rodríguez during a Monday press gaggle aboard Air Force One, inadvertently snubbing the woman who gave him her Nobel Peace Prize.

His and hers bidets?
The interior of Kristi Noem’s new billionaire-class luxury jet is complete with two bidets and a wet bar with a wine chiller. It will be purchased on our dime from the slush fund Congress approved in the One Big Beautiful Bill.

Trump has been exonerated of all wrong doing with Epstein in the same sense as he won the popular vote 3 times.

I have nothing to hide, that's why Pam Bondi screamed at congress instead of answering any questions last week.
Trump: I have nothing to hide. I have been exonerated. I have nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. I have been totally exonerated on Epstein.

So in this little exchange it's alleged that Trump was engaged in exactly the behavior Republicans spent years feigning vapors about with Clinton and it's not even pursued as far as I've seen. Bannon is alive, anyone ask him?

Why do I feel like if she runs suddenly being accessible to the press won’t get her anywhere near the indulgences that Trump got.
Calling it now: the US political media's treatment of AOC is going to make their treatment of Hillary Clinton or Al Gore look like a model of balance and discretion.
Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

It's hard to remember elections before social media, but I do wonder if we underestimate the power of the dopamine hit incentives to stay mad online when your candidate loses in the primary, where in previous eras there was no easy viral route to undermine the nominee out of spite.

Trump thinking his name is going to have big commercial value when he's out of office is yet another sign of steep cognitive decline.

I hate that we're entering an era where presidential campaigns need to get rolling the winter before the midterms, but we need to feed those "Dems in disarray" stories somehow.
