THIS WAS MONEY FOR CHILDREN’S HEALTHCARE. A Florida grand jury found $10 MILLION meant to help provide health insurance for poor children was misappropriated for political purposes. Moody & DeSantis took money meant for kids. #GOPWarOnHealthcare

Yes, Republicans. The entire news cycle on your moronic Jack Smith hearing will now be dominated by Eric Schmitt’s basketball game buffoonery and John ‘Foghorn Leghorn’ Kennedy asking Smith about the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy. Brilliant job, once again by the feckless fools.

Other news organizations should leave the White House. They can of course still cover the administration--almost none of their coverage depends on being there physically. But they shouldn't stay there, raising their hands dutifully in the briefing room, as if it's business as usual.

“Having a uniform and predictable set of legislatively imposed rules to govern the release of their papers going forward would not only help to increase the Court’s transparency, but it would also reaffirm that the justices’ work, which increasingly *affects* all of us, also *belongs* to all of us.”

Leaving to the whims of individual justices the fate of their papers is a recipe for inconsistency and obscurity for records with significant historical value.

The most remarkable thing about Trump's statements was this: they reflect deep knowledge of North Korean propaganda and acceptance of all North Korean claims, but no knowledge even of the rudiments of the US security relationship with the Republic of Korea. Who, exactly, is briefing Trump?

Subscribers to Trump’s insider trading app may be paying $100,000 a month for market moving info. Or they don’t even want the info and are just paying him a monthly bribe or protection racket payoff to be left alone. Either way, it’s all just blatant corruption every single day.
