There's a reason the Michelle Obama-George W. Bush friendship goes viral every time: People are starving for decency. For respect without agreement. For politics without cruelty. Their friendship reminds us what we've lost, and what we can still choose.
If you watched the Obama Presidential Center opening, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade yesterday afternoon - and nothing else - you could actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250.
True story.
Dave Portnoy to Trump:
“I don’t care what you think about the Obamas or anything else — that Michelle Obama insult has to be immediately denounced.”
The Barstool founder says it’s a line that needs to be shut down right away.
Charlamagne tha God: “All you do when you bring the Obamas up is remind people what is currently missing from the White House. The Obamas set a standard for decency and class and poise and intelligence. That no longer exists now. Now that bar is in hell. Satan and his demons use that bar to limbo”
BREAKING: Glen Whitley, a longtime Republican Judge in one of the most conservative counties in Texas, just announced he will not support Ken Paxton. This is huge news for James Talarico. Let’s go!
“He’s going to have the most miserable two years of his life in the last two years of his term, I think, because I think November is going to be a disaster”

BREAKING: Donald Trump reportedly told aides he was unhappy with Charlie Kirk and other influential supporters for alleging a Jeffrey Epstein cover-up, and called Kirk to reprimand him just weeks before his assassination, according to New York Times journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan.
Donald Trump called Charlie Kirk and reprimanded him over his coverage of the Epstein Files on July 12th, ordering him to back off.
Charlie refused.
He was assassinated less than 2 months later.
Bombshell from Haberman and Swan:
Trump wanted the Epstein issue buried and snapped at anyone who mentioned it.
In the days before WSJ published that Epstein birthday book scoop, Trump tried to quash the story by calling Rupert Murdoch, News Corp.'s chief executive, and The Journal's editor in chief.
He failed. https://t.co/FRS0DNATAh
Collins: Do you agree with Trump saying he loved inflation?
Jennings: No, it was very inartful. I think he was saying the numbers are better today than under Biden.
Collins: The numbers were as bad as they were in 2023.
Jennings: You're arguing that inflation today or during trump's term is as bad as it was during Biden's term?
Collins: I'm saying that trump said he was going to come into office and lower inflation and it's higher today than it was when he took office.
