I don’t have it in me today to express any horror at Supreme Court decision on Haiti TPS that we all saw coming.
But I am gobsmacked that a Vice President can say this out loud. They count on the ignorance of the population and the reality that the news media will allow this vice signaling to indeed be a short lived story. Richard Nixon was engaged in high crimes that subverted the Constitution and diminished the office. His threat was existential. The abuse of the IRS alone warranted prosecution. This quote should follow Vance into his ultimate obituary. But we move on to the next entertainment.
I’ve resigned from The Baltimore Sun after 25 years of politics and sports reporting. I was proud to have been there during a long period when our reporting followed the facts wherever they happened to lead. I’m not saying anything readers can’t see for themselves, but The Sun has changed since its purchase by David Smith, executive chairman of the Sinclair Broadcast Group. I no longer fit there. I’m grateful to the sources whose trust enabled me to report responsibly, and to the readers who supported our work. I’m exploring new opportunities inside and outside journalism. My DMs are open.

There is a 24/7 camera that shows the reflecting pool. If someone went into the pool and made a 250 foot gash, it would have been seen.
trump is lying again. Everyone knows it, but the people at @TheJusticeDept are randomly going after people to soothe trump’s fragile ego.
“The @nyknicks did NOT say yes to a White House visit. The owner did without asking them… It’s plantation-level bullshit by a short white man who got all his💰from his daddy.”

At the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool and I'm sorry to report that we have a dead duckling. Last week the tests suggested the algae was harmless but an expert tells me we could have signs of cyanobacteria
This was humiliation. No one in modern history has made America wait and beg for negotiations. This was the moment JD Vance should have returned to Washington. The Islamic regime did this on purpose. Trump, if you don't understand politics, you should at least understand protocol.
The visuals from Switzerland:
• The U.S. delegation entered well before the Iranians. In diplomacy, the side with leverage doesn't wait in the room. You claim to be leading and winning, yet you arrived first. First mistake.
• Ghalibaf did not enter while the press was inside. JD Vance did. Another mistake. It looked as though you didn't just abandon allies, including Israel, you also diminished America's image by ignoring basic diplomatic protocol.
• The Iranian foreign minister entered last and refused to shake hands. We didn't need photographs to tell us who looked confident and who looked desperate, but these images made it easy for the world to draw its own conclusions.
I've been told by reliable sources that Trump goes here to get treatment for whatever his condition is because it is much more private than Mar a Lago and the White House.
Every once in a while, Trump does something so inexplicably weird that MAGA's Fox News speaking points can't keep up.
So they just ignore it.
Like this post tonight from Trump.
