Jimmy Kimmel to Trump tonight: "I'll go when you go, okay? We'll be a team. Let's ride off into the sunset together like butch Cassidy and the suntan kid. [ Laughter ] And until then, if I may borrow a phrase from you: 'quiet, piggy.'"

When your defense is that Trump publicly being a sexist, vulgar old man is better than Trump privately being a sexist, vulgar old man, you are losing.

Also for the MAGA folks desperately trying to explain Trump said something else, here is the WH doubling down.
Reporter: What did the president mean when he called the reporter piggy?

Leavitt: I think the president being frank and open and honest to your faces rather than hiding behind your backs is a lot more respectful than what you saw in the last administration

An AI deepfake was submitted as evidence in a California court.

This appears to be one of the first instances - but likely won't be the last.

Think about the repercussions: people could be wrongly convicted.

We MUST regulate this technology before it destroys lives.

Unemployment is now the highest it’s been since 2021.

Trump and Republicans need to take their heads out of the sand and focus on the economy and affordability.

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.

We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

I'll just note this inquiry has noted that with 20/20 hindsight the UK should have acted... pretty much exactly as New Zealand did.

Which a good portion of NZ's media and political class have spent 5 revisionist years trying to paint as an overreaction. Overwhelmingly, it wasn't.

Some say the swastika is a symbol of hate. Others disagree. We'll have to leave it there.
Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols.

The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”

Trump’s comments about the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi were shameful & disgusting.

But unsurprising considering the Trump family is making tens of millions from deals with the Saudi government.

Congress must investigate this glaring conflict of interest immediately.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.

But that's just me
