A friend has Covid right now. They have lost their sense of smell and they're having cognitive problems. This hit me today, as it often does: we made, and continue to make, a huge collective mistake in allowing a virus that impacts the brain to transmit unmitigated globally.

I have never underestimated Trump’s lying, or his ability to spew bullshit. But he has in fact lost substantial control of his mind. And his ability to distinguish truth from lies—which was never really strong or important to him—is, at this point, de minimis.

“This is all Trump’s fault!” Marjorie Taylor Greene rips Donald Trump over his war with Iran and skyrocketing gas prices.
Screenshot of a verified X post from former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (@FmrRepMTG). It reads: “Insane!! Diesel in central Florida is almost $7 dollars!! This is all Trump’s fault! We did not vote for this. We shouldn’t pay taxes to a government that ruins our lives.” Below the text is a video still of Greene outdoors in sunglasses and a sleeveless dark top, pointing toward a red Shell V-Power sign at a gas station. Green shrubs and a clear blue sky are visible behind her.
