Iran could make all this go away if they'd only agree to become America's 51st state. Oh hold on, I counted wrong.
If Iran would be the 54th state -- after Israel and Russia and Greenland.
There -- did I just win the Nobel Peace Prize?

So are we just teaching our kids they have to obey anyone with a mask and an unmarked car and an oddly-fitting vest and zip ties now and go with them? Is this where we’re at?

I hope legacy media covers the connection between last night's memecoin dinner and this morning's social media tariff threats. He's manipulating the stock market.

Is the Washington Post allowed to say this? Somebody phone Bezos so he can be nice.

Trump: “I have nothing to do with Russia, but…” Perfectly normal thing for a US President to feel the need to clarify.

The 500 richest people in the world added $304B to their combined net worth yesterday after Trump's tariff pause.
Meanwhile, retirees, small businesses, and workers are still reeling from the mess.
Trump's actions feel chaotic until you see who really comes out on top.

We’ve lit the building on fire but it’s excellent how many people are fleeing the building!
WELKER: The markets lost more than $6 trillion in value. Was this disruption always part of the plan?
BESSENT: We had record volume on Friday and everything is working very smoothly. So the American people can take great comfort in that.

Would Al Qaeda in their heyday (or Isis or Putin or Kim Jong Un) ever even have *dreamed* of achieving the level of global economic terrorism that Trump, Musk and their GOP accomplices have managed to commit?

Musk has so much to say about German and French and British and Ukrainian and South African internal politics but never a word about China or Russia.

At this point in America why even bother having law schools if everything Trump says is law, and the law is everything Trump says? Turn the law schools into castles for Putin.
Notably missing: Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Columbia. Kind of mindblowing to me given what the substance of this letter is: "government should not retaliate against law firms"
Dean Chemerinsky and other #lawschool deans "speak as legal educators, responsible for training the next generation of lawyers, in condemning any government efforts to punish lawyers or their firms based on the identity of their clients or for their zealous lawful and ethical advocacy."

Democrats don’t fight. They didn’t fight when Al Gore’s win was stolen by W. They didn’t demand a recount in November. Instead they spout smug patheticisms: “When they go low, we go high.” Yeah that’ll work against someone like Putin. Why not fight back instead? Anything less is collaboration.
Democrats like Jeffries spent the entire election calling Trump a fascist threat to democracy and now they can’t figure out why people expect aggressive opposition
