I don’t want to read about a former President’s mental decline because a journalist got a book deal.
I want to read a report about the current President’s mental decline by a journalist brave enough to speak out now.
I believe voluntarily swimming in sewage should be a disqualifier for Secretary of HHS and making your grandkids do it with you is child abuse. But that's just me.
So-we're still riding the tariff roller coaster, the new golden age of U.S. manufacturing jobs isn't happening, and a recession is breathing down our necks. All we've "gained" is higher prices and lighter 401Ks for no reason at all. Do I have this right?

If you’re attending the White House Correspondents Association dinner tonight, be sure to come prepared with a joke about the toddler cancer patient they just disappeared despite her being a citizen.
Otherwise it’s going to be awkward when you’re mugging for photos with Stephen Miller.
New in PN: Lisa Murkowski reveals the ugly nature of Trump's rule
"Trump is not a normal president who governs through persuasion and political savvy. He constantly resorts to coercive threats. A system where that becomes normal isn’t a democracy. It’s a reign of terror."
I know things are bad. But I can't help feeling encouraged by the level of pushback and resistance.
The administration's escalated lies and threats mean the pressure is working.
I know $3000 seems like a lot of cash but you never know when you need to bribe a chauffeur to bury a pet that made you angry or tip a cop for shooting a brown person
