Pathological liars just can’t stop lying. Trump: “I’m the only president that donated his salary. They pay me $550,000 a year.” The presidential salary is $400,000. JFK and Hoover donated their salaries and didn’t rob the country blind.

Right-wing Canadian men have the same access to the history of what was done to Indigenous children as we do, but many refuse to care. I decided to tell them that history as if the children had been white instead.

So Trump told reporters in the White House today that “Canada are going to come in and say, ‘Sir, we are sorry’…” Trump is managed to do something I didn’t think was possible — guarantee that Canadians will never say “sorry.”

A question worth asking: If a president repeatedly violates the Constitution, and enough members of his own party knowingly refuse to use their constitutional powers to restrain him, when does that stop being one president’s failure—and become a crisis of the party’s constitutional legitimacy?

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal and his government has committed genocide in Gaza. The United States should stop all military assistance to Israel. Saying this is not antisemitic. (I’m Jewish, by the way.)
