Trump does not look well and he's mumbling his way through a speech that is just a bunch of rally-speech snippets.

We now know Kirk shooter Tyler Robinson followed Laura Loomer on X. Is this the tweet that pushed him over the edge?

Pritzker: Trump looked at the cameras and asked for me personally to say, Mr. President, can you do us the honor of protecting our city? Instead, I say, Mr. President, do not come to Chicago.

Your remarks about this effort have betrayed a continuing slip in your mental faculties

Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.

For years, MAGA partisans have employed various tactics to prevent the imminent pain of cognitive dissonance. Now Newsom is forcing them to see what Trump looks like without the distorting force field created by Trump’s showmanship:

Gavin Newsom is parodying Donald Trump online—and the reaction from Trump’s supporters is proof that Newson is on to something, @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues.

A person who was such a toxic bigot she was banned from Facebook, Venmo, PayPal, GoFundMe, Instagram, CPAC, Uber and Lyft has more influence with the President than many Cabinet members.

As dumb as this administration is, even Trump's staff finally seem to realize how idiotic it was to invite Putin to Alaska without having secured a plausible ceasefire plan. White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt now says Friday's summit is "a listening exercise for the president." Uh, right.
White House says Trump-Putin meeting is a 'listening exercise'
Friday's Alaska summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin "is a listening exercise for the president," the White House said on Tuesday, tempering expectations for a quick Russia-Ukraine ceasefire deal.

Listening to this press conference it seems clear that Trump is mentally gone and that his team is consolidating power for President J.D. Vance.

Attorney General James took on Trump's fraud and the NRA's rampant corruption—and won both cases.

So it's little wonder that Trump's politicized DOJ is now coming after her.

I’m sorry, I was reliably assured that Trump had finally decided to get tough on Russian
1/ The Trump Administration is reportedly finalising a peace proposal that would allow Russia to take over the entirety of the Donetsk region and force Ukraine to surrender the unoccupied portion. All territory currently occupied by Russia would remain under Russian control. ⬇️

I really hope Zelensky doesn't take any of these deals which are only meant to temporarily placate Putin and protect trump from any blackmail Putin has over him. There is no "win" for Ukraine in the scenario with bad actors, just a postponement for Putin to gear up for another attack down the line.

There is only one solution acceptable to Ukraine. Russia leaves all of Ukraine. Of course we know that is not what is happening and won’t as long as trump is involved.

It’s always been Ukrainian capitulation or nothing for both Trump and Putin.

Never has there ever been a “deal” put forth by this cabal.

How I naively wish the coverage of this “deal” nonsense would acknowledge the Trump/Putin kabuki theater as such.
