As a father and husband, I can tell you the last two years have been pure hell for my wife Bridget, our daughter Emily, me, and our entire family in the aftermath of Emily's divorce.

It has been horrific to watch this play out in full public view, all while knowing an innocent two-year-old girl is caught in the middle. Our priority has always been protecting our daughter and our granddaughter. Out of concern for the safety of my family, I hoped to keep this matter private but Max Miller’s increasingly erratic and dangerous behavior has made that impossible.

As he has admitted privately, Max Miller needs serious psychological help. He is a danger to my daughter, and I hold my breath every minute he has custody of my granddaughter.

If there are any basic standards of character required to hold elected office, Max Miller fails them. He should not serve in the House of Representatives. I believe Max Miller needs to seek professional help to end the clear pattern of abuse he has left in his wake. I believe he should not be free to continue endangering others until he does.

I ran for office because I wanted to make a difference for the country that gave me every opportunity to succeed, and to leave this nation better for my children and grandchildren. That sacrifice has been especially hard on my wife Bridget, whose big heart and steady support have never wavered. I owe it to her, to Emily, and to my granddaughter to speak the truth now.

@RachaelRad The worst is when they want you to announce it (again) once it’s actually built. Not pushing back harder against that is a huge regret from my comms days. It’s indicative of an org’s health that they use an outdated playbook.

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

The whole thing is obviously comical, but the fact that the political officials clearly ordered the Department of Energy to delete a recommendation made by actual experts just because of partisan politics is actually pretty bad.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

To everyone celebrating the first flight on Qatar Force One today, understand what you are actually applauding.

A foreign government handed the sitting President of the United States a $400 million plane. American taxpayers then paid to retrofit it, with an estimated cost of at least another $400 million (some estimates far higher), for security and communications work in a Texas hangar since last September.

When Trump leaves office, the plane does not stay with the government. Ownership transfers to his presidential library foundation. In other words, he keeps it.

You are being asked to treat pure corruption as normal, to shrug at a President personally profiting from a foreign gift the taxpayers paid to upgrade.

In any other administration this would be the scandal that ends a presidency.

With Trump, it’s Wednesday.

Trump could have presided over a very strong economy. All he had to do was...nothing: Inflation was trending downward, the AI boom was raising growth.

Instead, he engineered a global trade war and energy shock, while shrinking America's labor force. https://t.co/JvvlsQ83R8

@LizWolfeReason It’s not a short-lived problem if one parent leaves the workforce.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

The fact that Trump made so sure to silence Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie makes me more convinced than ever that there's something really incriminating in the Epstein files.

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

Since the @POTUS returned to office, the Trump boys have really gotten in touch with their innate business acumen. Truly, a Golden Age for the Trump family!

[Derek Thompson @DKThomp]

Within one 24 hour period, Trump:

- got out of a $100 million IRS fine
- secured "immunity" from all future tax investigations for his family and friends
- created a $1.8 billion slush fund for lawbreaking supporters
- was reported for likely insider trading worth nearly $1 billion

All of the obvious things to say about this are true. It's bad. Nobody even tries to defend it. The closest thing to a defense you get is something about how "but Democrats suck" and "woke was also bad," which is not a defense, but rather a kind of moral blank check made out to the administration to give them the right to do anything.

But what I'm most curious about is whether this sort of lurid corruption creates a countermovement that successfully returns government to rule of law or whether it's establishing a norm of executive imperialism that every future administration will use to achieve its ends, which can always be justified by the moral blank check of "the other side is worse, so let us do whatever we want."

Trump is not worried about your financial situation. But he sure is focused on his!

[David French @DavidAFrench]

Horrible. Hard to see this as anything other than retaliation.

Gas is spiking, allies are pissed, we appear to have bombed a school, cost is billions a day, ground troops are being considered, 6 Americans died, thousands stranded. Most Americans have questions and objections. The most American thing you can do is challenge the government.

[David J. Bier @David_J_Bier]

That is insane: "Biden’s pardons eliminated roughly $680,000 in financial penalties owed to victims or the government. In contrast, Trump’s second-term pardons have forgiven criminal debts of more than $1.5 billion."

[David French @DavidAFrench]

We absolutely need to know if this was an American strike. It's looking increasingly like it was, and if so it will be one of the worst individual incidents of civilian deaths in a generation or more.

Mace: I hope you learned some lessons from your last hearing.

Walz: I did—that if I didn’t speak up, two of my people would be dead.

Mace: Ok, what is a woman?

Walz: I’m the governor of Minnesota, I’m not here to be the prop for your obsession.

We’re in #Boulder. Near Chautauqua. Here’s what I’m gathering: Passports, beloved stuffies, blankets, sentimental things that can’t be replaced (heirlooms, artwork), clothes (take a dirty laundry basket if in a hurry). #wildfire
