NEW: Trump came to DC promising he would “drain the swamp.”
Instead, he made a new, much worse, much grosser swamp. Literally and figuratively.
We wrote about how the Reflecting Pool debacle is the perfect metaphor for Trumpism: Say one thing, it goes completely sideways, then lie some more until there’s a new story to distract everyone.
The Supreme Court has ruled that chemical company Monsanto cannot be blamed for failing to warn people about cancer risks with the main chemical in Roundup, glyphosate.
Trump recently signed an executive order to boost domestic production of glyphosate.
Reminder as you're traveling this summer:
Trump reversed a rule that required airlines to automatically refund you with CASH—not vouchers, not points—for canceled or severely delayed flights.
United Airlines and Delta Airlines each gave $1 million to Trump’s inauguration fund.
1 year ago, DOGE slashed $250M in funding including New World Screwworm prevention programs.
Now, the Trump admin is spending $1B to combat the outbreak.
I've always wanted a journalist to ask Trump this question: "what were the terms of the JCPOA"? Huge indictment of journalism in the U.S. that no one has done that and his criticisms of the Iran Deal were treated as genuine positions.
This deal reopens a body of water that was open before the war and begins a nuclear negotiation far narrower than what Trump was seeking before the war. All at a staggering cost to the entire world while leaving an IRGC-led government that feels strengthened.
Trump's birthday White House UFC fight will only be streamed on Paramount+, which is owned by Trump mega-donor Larry Ellison.
The event is supposed to be a "gift to the American people," despite needing a paid subscription to watch.
Iran cost tens of billions of dollars and thousands of lives, including 13 Americans. For what? What was the point of that war? A more radical Iranian regime that now controls the Strait of Hormuz?
Dumbest war yet.
