Media outrage would blot out the sun if Joe Biden was MC'ing an auction at his private golf club on NYE and blithely dismissing a $2 million bid for a painting as "peanuts" while Americans struggle to pay the bills and ACA health insurance premiums go up - today - by 100% or more
after bidding $100,000 for a painting during an auction at Mar-a-Lago, Trump describes $2 million as "peanuts" for another bidder and the painting eventually goes for over $2.5 million

This 2007 reporting in the New York Post ties in with today's WSJ report about Mar-a-Lago: "Epstein denies he is banned from Mar-a-Lago and says, in fact, he was recently invited to an event there."

This is a strange way of saying “we’re complying with court orders now that we failed to get #SCOTUS to stay them.”
Trump announces he’s pulling the National Guard from Portland, LA, and Chicago but threatens that “We will come back, perhaps in a much different and stronger form, when crime begins to soar again - Only a question of time!”

Smith: He was getting calls from people he trusts, people he relies on—and he still refused to come to the aid of the people at the Capitol. That’s very important evidence for criminal intent in our case.

Trump and Stephen Miller are actually failing in crucial ways. Deportations are lagging behind their goals, courts are mostly functioning, and their fascist, ethnonationalist cruelties have unleashed a countermobilization of unexpected scope and power.

Never forget this: The forces undermining our democracy, rigging our economy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. We must keep fighting in 2026 and beyond.

Only six months ago, the wheels felt like they were coming off of America, and our democracy experiment. But since the Epstein case broke wide open, the wheels started to come off Trump instead.

Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct?
Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.
