One wild thing is how we are expected to accept this in place of actual medical records
Oh my goodness, this Wall Street Journal piece about Trump's ailing health that includes an interview with him (gift link). There are a number of ridiculous details in it and I'll put a few of them in this thread. (1/6)
Exclusive | As Signs of Aging Emerge, Trump Responds With Defiance
In an interview, President Trump—the oldest man to assume the office—said he has eschewed some advice from his doctors and regrets getting advanced imaging.

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this.
He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

DHS now says it's aiming for 100 million deportations. In an amazing coincidence, there are 104 million Black and Hispanic people living in the U.S. right now.

Isn’t it odd that when a member of an immigrant ethnic group commits a crime, right-wing white guys want to deport the entire group, but when a right-wing white guy commits a crime, the other right-wing white guys don’t volunteer to deport themselves.

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command"
Trump denies what we've all seen with our own eyes -- that he regularly falls asleep during on camera events -- instead saying he's just "blinking."
“Sometimes they’ll take a picture of me blinking, blinking, and they’ll catch me with the blink.” (4/6)

Epstein wasn't just a frequent visitor to Trump's Mar-a-Lago in the 1990s and 2000s. The club was also sending spa employees—usually young women—to Epstein's mansion, according to former employees.
The house calls went on for years, even as spa employees warned each other about Epstein.
