Q: "Are you concerned about the current plague outbreak in Russia?" Trump: "I am…I hate to see them having it. It's a rough disease. You know, that's a disease we used to be able to control, but somehow those microbes have gotten stronger and smarter."

If you've ever taken an art history class, you know that professors can spend an entire lecture deconstructing one famous painting. They'll do that someday with this photo. The smug look on Schmitt's face. Kennedy's helpful hand. And best of all, the aide -- face hidden, torso with red tie exposed.

Looks like Trump’s new “steel plant” in IA, announced to shore up support in midterms from people his policies have crushed, where he said construction has already begun, is nowhere close to happening and contingent on Iowans giving tax breaks & incentives to a company in India.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

Missouri Republicans really want to run the midterms on a racist MAGA map. Last Monday, the 8th Circuit said yes. On Friday, SCOTUS was like 'wtf, man' and smacked down the 8th Circuit for ignoring TWO prior orders requiring use of the non-racist map. The ruling ended up helping Black voters. 👀
