My main takeaway is not so much how it demonstrates that they know they're full of shit, because we already know that.
My main takeaway is how easy it is to catch them with the simplest follow-up, and how obvious this makes it that they're not used to being asked basic journalistic questions.

HASSETT: If the Supreme Court doesn't find with us, refunds would go to whoever cut the check for the tariff
BRENNAN: Doesn't the administration claim it was the country that paid that?

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense
One explanation for Bari killing the story is that she did so as a public act of fealty to the administration. But another is that, as an inexperienced journalist, she doesn’t understand that a refusal to go on the record is a kind of comment in and of itself

NYT: Epstein, Trump Once Discussed How Much Pubic Hair A Woman Had
A Times investigation makes it almost certain that Trump knew what his sexcapade pal, Jeffrey Epstein, was up to and, at the least, likely facilitated it.

And the republican party cares so little about our nation AND the planet that they chose Trump as the best they had to offer THREE times!!!
Think of that. Three complete election cycles and the best person they could find to motivate voters was Trump.
Talk about giving in and giving up. That is sad.

Democrats in Congress have thus far failed to make a stink out of Pam Bondi's ethical conflicts (some of which she tried to hide during confirmation), most notably w/GEO and Qatar.
But Luigi Mangione's defense team may force that issue, claiming she had conflict bc of past ties to United Health.

A few reminders about the SCOTUS immunity decision for Presidents:
It does not provide immunity for prior crimes.
It does not provide immunity to the President's cabinet.
Similar to Roe v. Wade, it can be overturned in the future.

Russia keeps humiliating Trump by rejecting all of his proposals, from ceasefires to other serious initiatives that Ukraine has accepted. And yet Trump refuses to pressure Russia.
Is it because he is compromised by Russia, as shown in the Epstein emails?
