Uncharacteristically, NYT editors decide they will report Trump's taunting the Iranians to "take out" Los Angeles and San Diego, but they bury it deep inside the paper.

The Satmars are anti-Zionist. The thing he did differently was to be public about it.

My favorite moment from that era was when he started posting photos he’d taken of the side mirror of his rental car because he was too chickenshit to take pictures of whatever it was he thought he was chasing

He’s been propped up for years by Greenwald, Tucker & Co. The stink may have gotten too much for even them this time, we’ll see.

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

Friend of Putin oligarch Konstantin Sokolov makes a nice fat donation to Trump's ballroom project, and gets relief from Treasury Department sanctions in exchange. This is known as a quid pro quo transaction. It's a felony. www.esquire.com/news-politic...

The Time interview with Trump is a master class in subjecting yourself to a stream of lies, lunacy, and insults with no correcting him, no calling out his crazy shit, nothing to show for it, nothing accomplished. It’s enabling, not journalism. They should die of shame. time.com/article/2026...

My guess is this has more to do with Trump being buddies with El Salvador’s dictator and needing the concentration camp than domestic political concerns
