“Mary continued: “For Donald, there is one reason and one reason alone. He’s in trouble, and he knows it. This isn’t simply about changing the subject. That, of course, would be bad enough. This is to keep himself and the world from knowing what an inept, depraved, compromised fraud he is.”
Trump already endorsed the Republican running in the coming special election, even though his home is not in the district and he is registered to vote at a motel a half hour away.
Did Trump and Vance say thank you?
This is Nathan Jeansonne
He takes care of his Dad who has ALS. He’s a remarkable young man. Thank you Karen for letting me know about this.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:
Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.
And recognized as such by the US Government.
From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.
Stars & Stripes is one of the best examples (if not the best) of a successful, publicly-funded, editorially independent newspaper. The model could be the future of journalism. Therefore, the Trump administration wants to kill it.
Macroeconomic policy, or soap opera?
Court rules Trump's case against Fed Chair Powell is dead. Tillis says he won't confirm Trump's pick if White House appeals. White House appeals. Current Fed Chair's term ends soon. What next? Tune in for the next season of Fed's Anatomy.
WAR!!!

The “Wii Sports” video was posted days after The Pokémon Company said it did not give permission to the White House to use imagery from “Pokémon Pokopia” in a social media post.
The Pentagon is moving an Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) to the Middle East.
This consists of an amphibious task force naval element and a landing force (Marine Expeditionary Unit / MEU) and about 5,000 marines.
The President of the United States casually talking about destroying a country “in an hour” should chill every democracy on Earth.
This is exactly why leadership requires restraint, diplomacy, and respect for human life.👇
More rumors are going around Netanyahu is preparing to use nukes against Iran to stop the war. This would be a war crime and a stain the the American people that will never wash off.
He is just making things up, and the whole world knows the truth. The United States has never looked weaker because of these lies and his complete lack of a plan or strategy. Wars cannot be won with gaslighting and Truth Social posts.
this means it is not open for transit
Wise advice about what you can do from Heather Cox Richardson, a noted history professor and author:

It’s almost like Putin and Netanyahu control our foreign policy.
And grifting on the taxpayer's money!
the country is at war and the president is leaving DC this afternoon for a weekend at his private club in Florida that he'll spend with his paying customers
More of one than HE is!
Hahahhahahahaha toy soldier really hopes you think the military academy is the military!
It ain’t lol
The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet — and watching to see who refuses to wear them.
It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now — never be the first to stop clapping.

He never knows anything… yet he’s the President.
Chris "Wrong" Trump Sec of Energy tumbles the price of crude oil with wrong information only to cause it to spike after retracting his "X" comment. Can America not see how absolutely unqualified this admin - from Top down - in unqualified to lead. They are destroying our economy & our government.
I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.
Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.
The 25th is never happening.
Fetterman turning a blind eye to child massacre to own the libs.
Oh just a repercussion of his war that we will pay for.
Now feels like a good time to remember that Big Oil is the reason why we're still hooked on dirty, dangerous fossil fuels.
The industry's lies have essentially stolen a generation’s worth of time that we could have used to transition to cleaner, safer energy sources.
It’s time for accountability.
Trying to use less plastic?
Big Oil and the plastics industry are spending billions to make sure everyone else uses more.
“I think what stood out most is the deliberateness and intentionality over the years of pushing plastic into our lives,” said @bethgardiner.bsky.social. “It was such a shock."
