It’s notable that while a whole chorus of Trump backers are saying he is winning the war with Iran, he is admitting time and again that he just wants out.

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

The Republicans own this mess. I gave up on them in July 2025, when they—like sheep—voted for Russ Vought’s recission package that included all of the “DOGE” cuts, including the ones that killed 700,000 many of them children. You couldn’t get rid of USAID by passing a bill, so you blessed DOGE.

LOL -- The White House pool is boycotting Trump, but Real America's Voice is trying to fill in the gap. Unfortunately they haven't yet figured out how microphones work so Trump is still yelling into the void.

It's jaw-dropping how often Republicans rationalize the toddler president's tantrums with "well, our special little boy felt like people were being mean to him, so it's certainly understandable that he set the room on fire"

If someone posted this about a Jewish Senator, it would be rightly condemned as anti-semitism. El-Sayed was born and raised in Michigan, but because he is Muslim he is perpetually foreign and under suspicion.

The president of the White House Correspondents’ Association is Fox News’ Jacqui Heinrich. She’s married to a Republican congressman, Brian Fitzpatrick. Expecting the WHCA to forcefully fight Trump’s ban on CNN, MSNOW and Politico is like expecting your goldfish to cook your dinner.

Indeed. I was 27, at the building next to the White House that morning, and then back to an office blocks away. We walked half way that night because Metro was shut down. I came home to messages from friends/colleagues about those who were gone. RIP. And definitely haven't forgotten.
