The last three Trump press secretaries have been Katie, Karoline, and Kayleigh. KKK. Coincidence? You decide.

Senate Voting to Give Trump a Tariff Nuke
A bill supposedly aimed at Russia is really an unprecedented new tariff power grab—yet prominent Democrats are backing it.

I keep imagining the conversations that lead to these incomprehensible sops to Putin: "Import Russian diesel, Vlad? It's too much! They'll impeach me this time for sure." "We'll take the risk." "But the sanctions!" "Don't forget what we know." "But Vlad!" "Do it, Donald, you pathetic worm."

The Russians are barbarians and should be treated as such, not as people to negotiate new business deals with to benefit corrupt oligarchs in the US.

Phew, this is a powerful story. I wish every Trump supporter would read this - it might help turn a few from the misinformation and paranoia pushed by Trump and the rest of his mob of hate purveyors (Chris Rufo, Vance, et al). www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

The Republican Party was founded in Wisconsin, but there really is not a Wisconsin Republican Party any longer. When three people are paying for 90% of a gubernatorial campaign and 80% of legislative campaigns, you have a club, not a political party, owned and funded by billionaires.

It speaks volumes to his extreme narcissism that he seems somewhat peppy at these events when he's the one doing the blathering - as soon as someone else starts speaking, he dozes off.

Trump has said the Iran war is almost over at least 60 times. It's been 212 days. 19 service members are dead, 800+ wounded, $43 billion gone. We counted every broken promise with @votevets.org.

I tend to be reluctant to join the mainstream media pile-on from all directions, in some ways they have an impossible job, but why isn't this widespread and regular news, just as it was when Biden was president? And he never snoozed through his own press events as Trump regularly does.

In term 2, he also inherited an economy rescued from the significant damage of the Covid epidemic and on a major upwards trajectory, but no-one mentions that. Trump and the modern Republicans know well how to wreck stuff. They haven't got the least idea of how to govern.

The juxtaposition of the expressions of the Ukrainian delegation, who have been fighting for their very existence these last 10+ years, and the grinning, mugging U.S. delegation, congratulating themselves, like they're at a wedding reception or a concert, is something to behold.

He's also blinking like a madman, straining to keep his expression neutral, struggling to hold back the outbursts that must be threatening to erupt.

Imagine needing validation so badly that you threaten to tear down another President’s memorial unless they put your name on it. The level of fragile ego it takes to pull a stunt like this is genuinely unhinged.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Even if there was enough $ brought in from the tariffs to pay 1.3 trillion in dividends (bribes), it's still a ridiculous scheme of robbing Peter to pay Paul. It's a consumer tax. How many will fall for the stupidity of it?
