The news out of DC is consistently awful but it’s still kind of amusing to see all these tough guy members of Congress lining up in front of the cameras to say things like, “I can’t step outside the Rayburn Building when I’m here because if I hear rap music I’ll shit myself.”

As if the Constitution matters to Trump.
“The Congress shall have Power to lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises…
To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations…”

What the hell is a “subdeal”?
This is the good stuff.
RADDATZ: Trump said he's made 200 deals on tariffs. 200 deals? Who has he made deals with? Is there actually any deal at this point?
BESSENT: I believe that he is referring to subdeals within the negotiations we are doing

Trump’s and Vance’s behavior was an utter disgrace. I’ve never seen anything so shameful.
This is one of the most shameful things I've seen in my life. Zelensky and the Ukrainian people are fighting for their lives, and MAGA is all up in its feelings because no one is allowed to disrespect Trump. He can be grotesque, but everyone else has to genuflect. Pathetic.
ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about?
VANCE: I think it's disrespectful to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media

I’m sure it’s just my TDS, but I think Trump is proving to be exactly as bad as we said he was going to be and people who acted like we were hysterical should be embarrassed they didn’t do more to try and stop it.

Yeah, this is definitely the highest priority, after 2 plane crashes in a week.
So after promising to focus on safety, they’ve gotten right down to work… on gender terminology?

Of COURSE it’s all lies. I mean really. Another dog bites man story.
As the Trump administration and Elon Musk work to dismantle USAID, the government’s lead agency for delivering humanitarian aid for generations, right-wing influencers have flooded the internet with falsehoods about its work, promoting unfounded claims and conspiratorial thinking. nyti.ms/4htWHN0
