Trump's talent pool
Here’s my takeaway from the State of the Union:
NPR reports that the DOJ has “withheld” documents that include allegations that Donald “sexually abused a minor.”
This could be my new favorite quote...
I become paranoid because it implies there are bad even dangerous choices.
Collins has voted with Trump 96% of the time — the same rate as Mitch McConnell and two points above conservative Rand Paul. This is hardly the profile of someone looking to chart her own path. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/susa...
They want us to follow the norms of American law when it comes to ICE identification **and** they want us to follow the norms of American law when it comes to voter ID?
I mean, this stuff is just intellectually inconsistent if, like Tom Emmer, you were repeatedly kicked in the head by a mule.
"A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people."

Less than 14% of nearly 400,000 immigrants arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in President Trump's first year back in the White House had charges or convictions for violent criminal offenses, according to an internal Department of Homeland Security document obtained by CBS News.
Secretary Howard Lutnick lied to the country about his ties to Epstein.
Now we learned that they were in business together.
He has no business being our Commerce Secretary.
He should resign.

The Heritage Foundation has released a 250-year roadmap to “save America.”
The document is a how-to guide for subjugating girls & young women: a detailed plan to push them out of college, funnel them into early marriage and motherhood, and then trap them there.

Republicans are finally learning about Steve Bannon.
We've been trying to tell you about him for years but you didn't want to listen.
New Hampshire Towns stand by Minnesota and Ukraine because tyranny anywhere is a threat to freedom everywhere.

Dear MAGA, Sorry about your kids and grandkids. On the bright side, the lead poisoning may take them before the Amazon warehouse jobs run out.
The last U.S.-Russia nuclear weapons treaty expires this week.
Without a new agreement, we're at risk of an arms race.
This is serious.
The Trump Administration must continue to pursue arms control deals to keep Americans safe.

Trump on the Epstein files and survivors seeking justice: “I think it’s really time for the country to get on to something else." [Via CNN]
the Washington Post effectively blew up its arts section today, dismissing its books, TV, music, and theater critics, features writers, and several editors. (I'm also guessing the vacant film critic position will stay that way.) Just an insane loss of talent and a huge self-inflicted wound.
Dear Director Ratcliffe, I write to alert you to a classified letter I sent you earlier today in which I express deep concerns about CIA activities. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, Ron Wyden, U.S. Senator
Sitting U.S. senators don't make letters such as this one public unless they feel a paper trail is needed to inform the public.
Not great. Really not great.

Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.
All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit.

That would make him the main character.
For those keeping score at home:
If you want to FINALLY watch Scott Bessent get pinned down on specifics about the illegal money laundering operation being conducted by the Trump admin from someone who knows WTF he’s talking about, this clip is your chance. Bessent gets destroyed.
This isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.

A brief, recent history of the Washington Post:
1- Trump wins in 2024.
2- Bezos and minions make series of Trump-friendly changes to paper.
3-Readership tanks.
4- Bezos and minions fire tons of employees while telling them the audience just doesn't like what they're doing.
