From Andy Borowitz: In a historic congressional hearing this afternoon, Sen. Adam Schiff and Rep. Jamie Raskin heard four courageous witnesses call out the malignancy of the Trump DOJ. Sen. Schiff joins me to discuss the hearing—and what every American can do to end our national nightmare.

The president is laser focused on the big issues
Trump: “Nobody likes a bad picture or painting of themselves, but the one in Colorado, in the State Capitol, put up by the Governor, along with all other Presidents, was purposefully distorted to a level that even I, perhaps, have never seen before. The artist also did President Obama, and he looks wonderful, but the one on me is truly the worst. She must have lost her talent as she got older. In any event, I would much prefer not having a picture than having this one, but many people from Colorado have called and written to complain. In fact, they are actually angry about it! I am speaking on their behalf to the Radical Left Governor, Jared Polis, who is extremely weak on Crime, in particular with respect to Tren de Aragua, which practically took over Aurora (Don’t worry, we saved it!), to take it down. Jared should be ashamed of himself!”

Donald Trump Just Proved He’s an Economic Idiot. Again.
His MAGA sycophants knew all along that his central economic proposal was a sham, but they repeated his lies. And now the economy is cracking.

Timothy Snyder is an expert of modern authoritarianism.
A quote from an article by Timothy Snyder titled "What Does It Mean That Donald Trump Is a Fascist?" published in The New Yorker. The quote reads: "It is predictable ... that he will give free rein to the oligarchs who, he knows, will continue to generate the social and digital bases of a politics of us and them. It is predictable that, in returning to power, he will seek to change the system so that he can remain in power until death. It is predictable that he will use deportations to divide us, to accustom us to violence, and to make accomplices of us. It is predictable that he will create a cult out of the martyrs of January 6th. It is predictable that he will cooperate with similarly minded rulers abroad."

I think it would better, instead of adopting the MAGA framing, to call out specifically what they are saying. They are not blaming “DEI.” They are blaming Blacks, other minorities, women, and people with disabilities. It’s called scapegoating.
