Raskin made a holy shit observation on MS Now this afternoon: Since taking office, Trump has made a million dollars per hour for himself. Every hour, he has made more than twice the president’s annual salary.

The Evanston RoundTable in my Chicago suburb interviewed 2 people who saw ICE agents beat up a citizen and leave him lying on the ground last weekend. One witness said the man “was screaming ‘I'm a U.S. citizen. Leave me alone.’” Another witness said the feds told an “absolute lie” about the case.

So glad to see people come out in support of the Kennedy Center. I’m old enough to remember President Kennedy and the establishment of the Center in his honor. He and the Center were such supporters of the arts and culture. The current president supports only himself. Very sad.

McFaul: It’s been clear from the beginning of the second Trump administration that the Putin strategy was to engage with them—Witkoff in particular—to make this about win-win economic transactions… The Russian strategy is to say, "Work with us and we will do multibillion-dollar deals with you all."

Trump’s 9/11 comment that he went down to the scene to help has been a lie he’s repeated for 25 years. It’s his own version of stolen valor. He did nothing except go on TV & brag that he now owned the tallest building in Manhattan after the towers went down. Which was also a lie.

We all know Witkoff & Kushner’s goal in Russia was to use US policy to make business deals to benefit themselves and their families, which is what they have done full-time since Jan 2025. They have no interest in what’s best for Ukraine or what’s just. Their greed is insatiable.
