It’s really remarkable to me that 10 years into this people feel compelled to “clarify” Trump’s homicidal and often genocidal fantasies. It is deranged for the president to daydream about American cities in states he hates getting blown up. Full stop.

This just happened at the Iowa debate. Moderator: Aren't you worried about a nuclear Iran? Josh Turek, who never walked due to his dad's Agent Orange exposure in Vietnam, said this from his wheelchair: "I'm an example of the generational consequences to these forever wars."

My favorite thing about the Kimberly Guilfoyle donor texts scandal is that it has to be humiliating for her that it’s now public. And it’s got to sting to know that it must have been Eric Deters who leaked her messages instructing him to help her commit tax fraud and cover up the scheme.

‘But I got road salt exempted from Trump’s tariffs’ is really the perfect way to sum up Susan Collins during the Trump era. While he does hundreds of things to hurt Mainers, she brags about one small thing she did to help her reelection, while doing nothing on the big things.

Another corruption story, and the volume makes it hard to absorb one before the next arrives. The real work is understanding why the guardrails failed. The good news: democracies have faced corrupt regimes before, and we know how to hold power accountable.

But I also want to make sure everyone in America understands that the President of the United States is *so mentally deranged* that as soon as he saw this photo he publicly declared that the NYT had *secretly sent agents to his club* to blacken and yellow it before taking a photograph. Yes, really.

I *agree* with Trump that this photograph published by the New York Times misrepresents his shitty, intermittently bed-bug-riddled little club. It's *considerably* more disgusting and cheap-looking than this photograph showing its yellowed and blackened facade would suggest. You can do better, NYT.
