The backlash to ABC/Disney canceling Kimmel has been swift, and severe. The whole episode underscores something I've been blogging about for a while: A lot of powerful people just don’t realize how unpopular Trump is

Trump:
On war criminal Putin: “I’ve always had a fantastic relationship with him”
On sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell: “I wish her well”
On pedophile Epstein: “He’s a lot of fun to be with”
On J6: “It was a day of love”
To everyone who has enabled this evildoer, a pox on you and your houses.

Frum: What a tariff is, is the equivalent of hitting yourself in the head. And he’s saying to the world: “We will not stop hitting ourselves in the head unless you all agree to hit yourselves in the head.”

Trump lied about the number of undocumented immigrants, so now he has to *create* them by stripping LEGAL immigrants of their status so he has someone to disappear. And the oligarchs on the Supreme Court are helping him.

Per the UN, Russian drone operators are picking off Ukrainian civilians “like it is a video game” — then bombing ambulances that go to help… then sharing videos of it on telegram.

According to IRS estimates, the internal sabotage by DOGE has already cost the U.S. Treasury more than $500 billion in revenues that otherwise would have been raised by April 15th. But it doesn’t stop there. DOGE is also in the process of closing down the Tax Division at the Department of Justice.
