He gets a ballroom. An Arch. A new reflecting pool. 10 billion directly into his pocket from taxpayers. Billions from special interests seeking favors and pardons.

What has America gotten? Tariffs, a new war, higher gas prices, inflation.

Truly a golden age.

Jon Ossoff appears to have a rhetorical political superpower. He’s a storyteller. A good one.

Jimmy Kimmel should quote LBJ on air.

@SarahLongwell25 @kaitlancollins Trump attacks a professional woman because she doesn’t smile. When I listened to his rants, I’ve always wondered what year it is.

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, June 1972, on her first visit to the Kennedy Center, which had been voted by Congress in 1964 to be the "sole national memorial" to the late President who gave his life while serving his country. (Leonard Bernstein at right)

Edwin Starr has asked me to share his reaction to the new DEPARTMENT OF WAR:
"War! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing, say it again;
It ain't nothing but a heart-breaker
War! Friend only to The Undertaker."

The Framers didn’t even want a standing army much less have them patrolling our cities. No healthy republic should have its army in the streets during peacetime.

Everybody remembers that seminal moment in WW2 with FDR in his wheelchair rolling out the red carpet for Hitler discussing which portions of France he will get in exchange for peace.

"Abe Lincoln, whose top hat and rifles are in the Smithsonian, urged Americans to move past the Civil War “with malice toward none, with charity for all.” Trump has malice for all, charity toward none." https://t.co/cbNHHa5a1A

@JamesTate121 Loved your post!

I’m not writing this as a fan, but as a dad. A football-loving, middle-aged man who’s watched the noise online grow louder and uglier. And I can’t stay silent anymore.
I’m talking about Taylor Swift. Not her fashion or fame, but the way people grown adults mock her simply for cheering, smiling, and showing up for someone she loves. That’s what bothers you?
Our kids notice. Daughters hear the jokes about “too much Taylor.” Sons learn from the eye-rolls about which women society chooses to ridicule for being visible and joyful.
Here’s the truth: Taylor Swift has earned over 300 awards, including multiple Grammys. Her Eras Tour added nearly $5 billion to the U.S. economy. She donates to food banks in every city she visits, quietly and without asking for applause. Her lyrics are studied at the world’s top universities, not because she’s famous, but because she’s brilliant.
And when a radio DJ assaulted her and sued her, she didn’t hide. She counter-sued for one symbolic dollar, won, and reminded young women everywhere: you matter, and your voice matters.
So no, I’m not a fan because of her music. I’m a fan because she uses her platform with strength, dignity, and purpose. Our daughters deserve better. Our sons need to learn that kindness, success, and womanhood are never reasons for ridicule. Via~Nature Mind

This may be the most subversive, fifth column statement by a Vice President in history.

I keep saying this because it’s true and is proven every day. The degree to which the Republican Party is compromised by Russia is one of the great underreported stories of our time.

From the NRA Russian funding to a VP slobbering over a mass murderer war criminal, the Republican Party is a functional arm of the Russian Federation.

Nothing says ‘land of the free’ like a president calling out the military on his own people
