A perk of being politically tribeless is being able to declare that Donald Trump, Ken Paxton, and Graham Platner are all personally unfit for office without having to twist myself into a pretzel trying to explain some hackish partisan double standard. Principles over party.
If Biden said "I love the inflation" the media would have collapsed on itself like a dying star in outrage. There wouldn't be enough room on the opinion page of the NYT or segments on cable news for pundits to demand he resign. This? A fart in the wind, forgotten by tomorrow🙃
I spoke to President Trump on the phone last hour about the end of negotiations with the Iranians. He told me: “I don’t care if they’re over, honestly. I really don’t care. I couldn’t care less. If they’re over, they’re over. If they’re not, you know, I think they took too much time. Frankly, I thought they started to get very boring.”

Ossoff: This is what small men like Donald Trump and JD Vance and Stephen Miller will never understand—that our national greatness flows not through our blood or our genes, but through our ideas.
Americans are not a race, we're a people united not by ethnicity, but by our shared convictions, and that is what makes us exceptional
I really think that James Talarico and Jon Ossoff and a few others are pioneering a new kind of politics and new language for the era of Late Stage Trumpism. Something big is happening.
More in this piece:
Unlike impeached, cheater, indicted @KenPaxtonTX - @jamestalarico has actually passed bipartisan bills in the Texas legislature as a Democrat in a Republican-dominated chamber:
During his two terms, Talarico passed:
∙A significant reform to the state’s school finance system — described as the most sweeping in 20 years
∙The first-ever cap on pre-K class sizes in Texas
∙A bill to improve early childhood education across the state
∙A cap on insulin copays
∙A law requiring all incarcerated minors in Texas be given the opportunity to graduate with a high school diploma
He’s also a Dem who won a Trump district.
Just so everyone is aware. Kevin Warsh who Trump picked to be the next fed chair is in the Epstein files and in 2010 spent Christmas with Epstein at st. Bart's. He's also the son-in-law of Ronald Lauder, cosmetic billionaire and founding member of the MEGA group with Les Wexner.
“They” didn’t leak Trump’s tax returns. An IRS contractor did - along with thousands of other tax returns - during Trump’s first term.
Biden’s DOJ prosecuted the contractor, who got the max: 5 years in prison.
This is shameful spin from SDNY U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton.
They loved Marjorie Taylor Greene, now they hate her.
They loved Thomas Massie, now they hate him.
They loved Lauren Boebert, now they hate her.
They made fun of Biden for nodding off ("Sleepy Joe), now they ignore Trump outright falling asleep.
They put "I Did That" Biden stickers on high gas prices, now they ignore gas prices being even higher.
They bragged about Trump being the no wars President, now they support war.
They bashed Biden for sending money to Ukraine, now they ignore Trump sending money to both Ukraine and Israel.
They demanded the Epstein files, now they bash anyone asking for the Epstein files.
To be a MAGA is to be a slave.
Not physically, but mentally.
They stand for nothing.
We're up against people who stand for nothing.
And with the most misplaced confidence you've ever seen, they try to tell us whats-what.
We shouldn't even acknowledge these people.
The Trump supporters that remain are mentally too far gone.
I don't even want to argue with them anymore.
A charisma-less Vice President JD Vance was met Friday with humiliating silence when he tried to transform a memorial event into a political stump speech. https://t.co/1OMeqXac7h
