Again, President Trump has told you which journalism outlets to trust. If Trump doesn't like a news organization, you know you can count on that company for accurate, reliable news.

Breaking news: A federal court blocked a newly drawn congressional map in Texas that Republicans hoped would have given them an edge in five more House seats.
Court blocks GOP-friendly map in Texas
The map would have given Republicans a leg up in as many as five House districts.

I just heard this "song." I think it's reassuring to know that AI can "write" a song — tune and lyrics — as hackneyed and boring as anything composed by a talentless human being.

ABC's Mary Bruce asked tough, necessary questions at today's news conference with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Trump called ABC "radical left news" and threatened to have the FCC pull licenses of ABC affiliates. Once again, Trump tells you which journalism outlets you can trust.

The murderous Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman — "my good friend," Trump says — is in the White House. Why do I get the feeling the Trump family is about to make a few billion in crypto?

I was a sophomore in HS when Nixon resigned. Watergate was ALREADY a topic in history classes.

Today, Education has been gutted and many state legislatures are whitewashing events and restricting how teachers do their jobs. What will future children learn about this strange era?

We better care.

No president has his image on a coin during his term of office. Or in his lifetime. Monarchs, yes. Presidents? Never.

The administration beat up Harvard and other colleges over antisemitism. But it embraces Jew-hating Nazi sympathizers.

The attacks on universities was never over antisemitism. That was just the ironic cudgel Trump used to attack education.

This little one-lane road is beautiful in the fall. It’s also sweet with an inch of snow. And there’s a creek. A perfect place to grow up if you’re a kid with a Tom Sawyer soul. I know.

White House aide Alexander Butterfield told the world about Nixon's recording system. White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson revealed Trump's insane behavior on Jan. 6. Which current staffer will step up, be a hero and spill the beans?

We’re currently in the “avalanche of information” stage. The White House is feeling the heat and needs a distraction, something to change the subject. War on Venezuela, maybe?
The next few days are going to be interesting. There will be an avalanche of Epstein information followed by a long parade of officials who have no comment whatsoever. At what point in this story can we expect a U.S. battleship or two to suddenly fire shots at Venezuela?

James Comey and Letitia James are challenging Lindsey Halligan's appointment as interim U.S. attorney. Word is Halligan was handpicked by President Trump. To Trump, her qualifications were obvious.
