The problem with this speech is that to strike a realistic chord with what voters feel, it would have to acknowledge continuing problems. But Trump's only self-related tone is triumphant and braggartly.

The problem with this speech, beyond all the lies and distortions and ridiculosity, is that it celebrates economic success at a time most people don't feel it.

I don't see this loud, frantic, fact-distorting speech working with anyone beyond Trump's low-information MAGA base.

So: the Trump team sent him to an El Salvadoran prison w/out due process but won't remedy that, despite the Supreme Court's order? This shows a contempt for the rule of law.

I get subject matter inspiration for my paintings from daily walks along the Maine coast or in the woods and mountains. But for color inspo, Chihuly tops the list. One of his best quotes: “I don’t know if something can be too colorful.” Amen.

The gravamen of today's col on RFK Jr.
He is anti-vaccination.
He regularly distorts science.
He spews misinformation.
He isn’t sufficiently rational to avoid conspiracy theories.
He doesn’t understand the basics of Medicaid and Medicare.

V. good WSJ editorial on the Trump pardons:
"Trump Pardons the Jan. 6 Cop Beaters
Law and order? Back the blue? What happened to that GOP?"
