Remember this. I couldn't keep from thinking about it while watching this morning: Jackson is a descendant of slaves. Her citizenship exists because of the 14th Amendment. Today, she sat on the SCOTUS...and watched Trump's lawyer argue that amendment has been misread for 158 years. He was wrong.

Trump pardons allies who boost his crypto coin. Trump invests in corporations that he's supposed to be regulating. Trump cuts deals with autocrats to advance his family's real estate business. The list goes on. We must not become numb to this blatant corruption.

The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet — and watching to see who refuses to wear them. It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now — never be the first to stop clapping.

5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open. Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.

“Although touted by Republicans, this provision of the bill could most harm some GOP-leaning constituencies. A CAP study…found that voters “would be forced to drive, on average across the counties, four-and-a-half hours round trip and cover approximately 260 miles to reach their election office.”

“Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.” That’s what the President of the United States is saying to the American people. He won’t be hurt by a retaliatory attack or high gas prices. But you will — and that’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make.
