The saddest thing about the whole Trump era is that Americans, in general, are so easily duped by a snake oil salesman, repeatedly. Even after seeing that they were duped, repeatedly, they just sign right back up again. OK, that snake oil, again, didn't work, but he's got a new one out now!

Awful: Trump just admitted in a new interview that he knows "very little" about the Honduran ex-president he pardoned. This guy trafficked a gazillion times more drugs into the US than anyone Trump has executed. Wrecks his case for the boat bombings.

Why should Ukraine cede ANY territory? Not only should they not cede any but they should be given back the land that has been taken by force.

It’s important to remember there are two scandals here:

1. The Administration has likely committed war crimes.

2. But the entire operation - which now includes two dozen attacks - is illegal. In our democracy, the President CANNOT wage war without the consent of the people.

Based on the facts recounted by the Senator, the two do sound “shipwrecked” for LOAC purposes.

But they were never lawful targets in the first place even if LOAC applied.

And LOAC doesn’t apply because there is no armed conflict.

Term for premeditated killing outside of armed conflict is murder.

I read the classified legal memo and disagree that military strikes on drug boats are legal (w/o congressional war authorization).

But nothing in the memo would authorize strikes on boats not even headed for the U.S. That’s just straight up murder.

DOJ must open investigation.

All the renewable energy projects Trump cancelled would be be bringing energy prices down over the next few years, but instead we'll all pay more to keep polluting the planet. And who will benefit? Evil forces like Exxon-Mobile, Russia and the Saudis.
Suozzi: Prices are up. Why? Because of the tariffs. Prices are going up in health insurance because of the cancellation of the premium tax credits. Prices are going up in energy because there’s new demand for energy at the same time they cut supply.

The most interesting part of this story isn’t that the pipe bomber is MAGA. That was blatantly obvious. What should interest folks is that the FBI and DoJ hid that fact from you, and still haven’t made a statement. This info is coming from sources on the condition of anonymity.

No architect worth their salt is gonna want to be associated with this monstrosity as it's envisioned by Trump. They're gonna have to hire the "Lindsey Halligan of architects".
lol just a few days there were reports abt how they were fighting because Trump wanted something too huge and too tasteless. And to be clear, IT WAS THE ARCHITECT TRUMP HIRED!!!! so like Trump's own guy came to him with tears in his eyes and said, "Sir, this is tacky and gauche and actually absurd."
Breaking news: President Trump replaced the architect he handpicked to design his $300 million White House ballroom.

It is unclear whether he was fired or resigned.
