This shoe thing is maybe the best example of Trump being an avatar of pure malice. These are his allies. The guys carrying out his agenda, willingly and gladly. And still he’s got to humiliate them. Why? Because it’s just what he wants to do to *everybody*.

1. A few things:

Gavin Newsom talked about his dyslexia β€” something he has publicly discussed for more than two decades.

He did not say he was dumb or that he can’t read.

Reading certain types of media can be difficult for him, just as it is with many people who are dyslexic.

Guys, this is Senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social. You need to read it all. He's CONFIRMING what many of us already suspected about this war.

If there is intelligence to actually support Witkoff's claim that within a year, Iran will have 30-40 nuclear warheads, then that intelligence should be presented to Congress and shared in some form with the American people as well.
