Trump to Local 12 Cincinnati: "There's never been a better year for a president. I've been rated. That includes the stoppage of 8 wars with a 9th to come. The economy is roaring. It's phenomenal. That's why I'm here. This is an excursion, a little excursion, and I think it's only that."

It was 82 today and my phone says it’s gonna snow tomorrow.

It’s like Trump is in charge of the weather too.

JUST IN: Democrats flip a seat in the New Hampshire state House.

Dem Bobbi Boudman has won today’s special election, NHJournal reports.

(Boudman was the Dem nominee in 2024 & lost by 14%; Trump won here by 9%.)

This is Dems’ third legislative flip so far this year, after Texas and Arkansas.

Prepping for court, and realized it’s been six years since I became a detective. Nine years since I joined the police. Nine years. Feels like between one year and one hundred years, depending on the day. We shall see.

Trump has now conducted 42 boat strikes, killing nearly 160 people.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

The Pentagon spent about $5.6 billion on munitions in the first two days of U.S. strikes on Iran, according to officials.

The high cost is raising concerns in Congress that the military is rapidly using up limited stocks of advanced weapons.

MeanCat has found my apologies about being late for third brunch insufficient and irritating, and doesn’t accept them.

Between oil prices and the markets, POTUS is getting a major dose of reality todayβ€”potentially prompting greater urgency in finding an off ramp.

Trump's decision to bomb Iran is now the greatest windfall to the Russian war effort on record. If it continues, it might save the Russian war economy.

I didn't even include the lawyer's best burn!

Lawyer: You say you have an understanding of what DEI means and when I ask you, you say you need to reference the Executive Order [EO].

Do you need to reference EOs to define every word you use in your everyday life?

Opposing Lawyer: Objection.

I got in an online discussion with someone anti-choice once, and he just kept repeating that he was "pro-innocent life." In his mind, helping the parents/family of the baby was different from being "pro-innocent life."

Unironically love my opposing counsel, who called me back after a meet and confer today because he forgot to ask how my family in Israel is doing (which reminded me to ask about his extended family in Iran). He's wrong about EVERYTHING substantive, of course, but just a good human being

This. There is a shocking desensitization that is increasingly common around war. From the White House, and even from voices in the Horn, as the comment section in the YouTube video shows. Weaponizing nationalism and turning war into a partisan arena of winners or losers is just plain vile.
