I would prefer less anti-China grandstanding and more well-made, technologically advanced, Chinese EVs and the green infrastructure to power them. Trade is mutually beneficial. In a free market, if China makes better products, I should be free to buy them.

Elon Musk’s Exes Are the Most Damning Part of a Massive New Documentary
Interviews with Justine Wilson and Ashley St. Clair in the nearly four-hour-long “Musk” paint the world’s richest man as capricious and cruel even toward those closest to him.

How does Russia take out 20% of the United States’ most senior military leadership without firing a shot? By turning to the same man who is responsible for the destruction dozens of bases in the Middle East, the depletion of our arsenal, and hiding it all from the American people, Petrov Hegseth.

U.S. forces are retreating. That's what this means. "Pulled out and returned to their home stations in the U.S. as potential Iranian threats raise base security concerns" is a fancy way of saying the Iranian military has the U.S. military in retreat. This is unbelievably embarrassing.

We've got to face the fact that a third of the country doesn't care if Trump is out of his mind as long as he's as racist and sexist as they are. But we also must recognize that the rest of the country deserves to live in a free country, not a dictatorship. Vote against all Republicans.

Faced with outrage over his use of taxpayer money for campaign ads, Trump now says he’ll use his PAC money. Will he pay back the money from ads that already ran? I want proof of what he says, because he’s a lying criminal.
Trump: The Radical Left is upset with the fact that I am taking Ads, which I consider to be a positive promotion for our Great U.S.A., and paying for them with U.S.A. money. This is a rather standard thing to do but, rather than doing that, although nothing will make them happy, I have decided to do the Patriotic Ads, among others, and pay for them myself, and with money I raised for MAGA, Inc. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

I LOVE how @propublica.org dealt with official comment here, editorially and stylistically.
The Trump administration says none of this is happening. 

"DHS is NOT arresting U.S. citizens by mistake." "There are no 'indiscriminate' stops." Allegations of "racial profiling are disgusting, reckless and categorically FALSE." "The pattern is NOT of law enforcement using force." "ICE does not zip tie or restrain children." 

But that is precisely what is happening, and at a far larger scale than previously reported.

a big part of being a good president is being smart about who to listen to, and organizing your office so you get good advice. trump is a uniquely terrible president bec (a) he refuses to listen to anyone who disagrees with him about anything, and (b) if you flatter him he'll do anything you ask.
