This remains the #1 issue in MAGA. Inexplicably, media accommodates it in every news cycle.

He wishes he could quit him. He can't. It's how he got where he is.

The fury is coast to coast; why make this a story of blue state grievance instead of what it is: a failed president’s erratic descent into foreign policy madness? The normalization of a profoundly unprecedented taunt to attack American targets is as astonishing as it is utterly predictable.

Don't worry about that plague emerging in Russia, we have an expert in charge.

Only a little off topic, but her performance as the brilliant, precocious Wendy in Ang Lee's "The Ice Storm," which should've earned her an Oscar Nomination, is a poignant prism on children of another era, latchkey and otherwise. I'd love to hear her speak about what the role taught her, then, now.

Robert Frost wouldn't mind. Because it's truth, and he supported the truth.

Sometimes, it's so clear: when Republicans are in charge for 30 years, the results are decisive.

I flashed on a cinematic moment of comparable shock:

Okay, imagine this: another one of these merde-caked brownnosers woke up, got out of bed, looked in the mirror, and grinned: "I'm gonna go in there today and make sure nobody stops my man from taking a wrecking ball to that marble-ensconced woke festival. Just think of the points I'll score!"

Not a new meme, but never more relevant than a month out from midterms.

Senator Cory Booker at the Jack Smith hearing! Single most impressive and fact-based condemnation of this corrupt regime's sustained perfidy; blistering, impassioned, genuinely historic in its focus on Republican fealty to abject criminality. Awe. @booker.senate.gov, gratitude.

The Nether on the Hill: she lives in Brigadoon's outer borough, and appears every four years in her own foul mist. Anyone still giving her serious attention should be ignored, shouted down, told to take a seat. No exceptions.

If you didn't catch Blanche's performance with Raddatz this a.m., find it. He's moved onto right wing Howard Beale territory, filled with retaliatory venom, gone bug-eyed, snarling, and vicious. This "objective" legal eagle serving US citizens behaves like the MAGA ambulance chaser that he is.

4) "By 10:40 p.m., just 2,425 people were watching. The channel has 3.18 million followers, so that's a measly .076 percent. It reached a new nadir at around 3.30 a.m. Eastern on Tuesday, with just 1,123 watching a rerun of a speech he gave alongside Britain's King Charles in Windsor a year ago."

1) Wouldn't The Truman Show (1998) have been a better business model than Russian state television? Watching Natalie "The Human Printer" Harp sneak in before dawn and power up like C-3PO; seeing the First Lady eat her standard breakfast, poached egg, herbal tea, 2 Lexapros ...

2) MI's Mike Rogers, pretending to be the party opposing war, promises gas and garnishes will get cheaper. In March, Rogers scolded a constituent, "We got plenty of oil. We're gonna be fine." These boys filming amid radicchio, broccolini, and fennel, morphing into cost-conscious consumer advocates?

1) Ah, Republican fellas and their election season attention to pricey comestibles. Two MAGA glute smoochers feigning concern over grocery prices in different eras: in '22 Doc Oz, like some Cheever bon vivant, infamously expressed empathy for the average PA host serving crudité at cocktail fêtes...

Midterm message: "Get richer faster or die sooner and get the f*ck out of our way." Remember COVID? Let granny die in assisted living so Karen and Chad can head to Olive Garden? A grifting regime that blew $38 billion on a consumer-strapping war brags about stripping health care to save $2 billion.

4) Either way, he's the most impotent Secretary of State in US history. What record could he possibly plan to run on?

3) Rubio's non-participation in State's first tier functions is strategic for one of two reasons - because he's privately against the "conflict" and its grift; or protecting his small shapely feet for a sprint against the flabby-assed JD when we get around to replacing the Burger King in 2028.

2) ... Another title, after doing zip in his confirmed position. To remedy the last embarrassing 6 months in the Mideast, his boss sent the Scut Farkus and Grover Dill of shady real estate deals - Kushner and Witkoff - to do our (non) bidding...

1) Remember this all but vanquished dude? Infamous for accepting an ill-fitting pair of Florsheims and squatting and pouting in the Oval while the kohl-eyed hillbilly humiliated Zelensky? His name resurfaces solely because he's been permanently designated National Security Advisor...

And yet, we're still being told by MAGA and the MAGA adjacent that Iran did this.
