Tim Dillon on MAGA: “It’s the greatest con in history, truly. To run as America First and you’re gonna take care of America and then turn around and go all of these things daycare, Medicare, we have nothing to do with that, we’re fighting wars. It is the greatest scam in history”

A good exercise for interpreting news like this is to pretend that you heard it about a foreign country. For example what would it mean if the Russian or Chinese Defense Minister asked for the resignation of their army Chief of Staff a few weeks into a war?

Most Americans still haven't realized how the Trump administration has defunded every aspect of criminal law enforcement -- anti-terrorism, drugs, fraud, organized crime, human trafficking, etc. -- to go after immigrants with no criminal records.

This guy stole $39 million from elderly people and their families and then bought a pardon for nearly $1 million. So gross and corrupt.

“The inquiry on behalf of the high-profile potential client was flagged internally at BlackRock, according to the people familiar with the matter.”

He is repeating every foreign and domestic policy mistake the US has made over the last five decades, but he's doing it with a gracelessness, cluelessness, and corruption that has no precedent.

I know it's boring and repetitive to talk about how grossly evil Trump is, but the fact remains: Trump is grossly evil, in a way that's pretty much unprecedented in this country.

Trump: I hang out with losers because it makes be feel better. I hate guys that are very, very successful and you have to listen to their success stories. I like people that like to listen to my success.

Joe Biden won the election in 2020. If a future judge can’t admit that, what’s left?

“you come to camp and hear 12 different accents…there are 6 different languages going around. we are really a melting pot of what makes america, america.” chris richards the player AND person you are.

“How two weeks away are they?” “Even more two weeks away than they were 5 years ago.”

@PeterHamby @KFILE @PuckNews Dem here. No shit.

New for @PuckNews A Democratic think tank isn’t sure their party has figured out how to talk about trans issues Their polling suggests a way forward on trans rights — but Dems might have to concede defeat on the youth sports fight puck.news/texas-senate-r… @PuckNews

Trump’s SEC chair prevented the head of enforcement at the SEC from investigating Trump’s circle for insider trading and she resigned over it

Anyone repeating the propagandist deflection of "Russia hoax" either never read the Mueller reports or didn’t understand them.

@nypost This is a really bad take. Welcome supporters who buy tickets whatever the circumstances. I don’t make it to many games but making the effort today to see Messi and root for @nycfc. Doesn’t make me a bad fan or “plastic.”

Jon Ossoff just OBLITERATED Tulsi Gabbard while grilling her on Trump's claims from June that Iran's nuclear program was obliterated. Watch this. 🔥

Trump: "Our Country was unnecessarily RANSACKED by the United States Supreme Court, which has become little more than a weaponized and unjust Political Organization. The sad thing is, they will only get worse! They wouldn’t even call out The Rigged Presidential Election of 2020, because they said that I, as President of the United States, did not have 'standing' to challenge it, and now, with time, it has been conclusively proven to be stolen — And look what happened to our wonderful Nation by allowing a grossly incompetent man, Sleepy Joe Biden, to be our 'President.'"

For the life of me I've never understood why the press and the political class find it so difficult to talk about @realDonaldTrump's severe and manifest personality disorders. These disorders may be impossible for any professional to treat, but they are easily understandable to any intelligent lay person who can read and follow along. Indeed, Donald Trump's mental illnesses and the American press and political class's appalling and shameless cowardice in failing to address them will be someday be a mandatory part of the curriculum for secondary-school and university students the world over.
