In 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a Florida home, pledging it would be his principal residence. Seven weeks later, he attested a neighboring property would also be his principal residence. In reality, he does not seem to have lived in either home.

Zia, an Afghan interpreter who risked his life to help U.S. troops, is being detained by ICE in Massachusetts. He's been living in the U.S. LEGALLY for fear of retribution if he returns to Afghanistan. Targeting Zia and other Afghan allies is dangerous and wrong.

Major media seem flummoxed about what to do when Trump shares a fake video of Obama getting arrested. Maybe they think the options are A) take the bait, or B) ignore it. But there's a 3rd option: Gather all the crazy examples and write big, loud stories about how the president is mentally unhinged.

📌The President of the United States posted a FAKE VIDEO TO THE WORLD of a kneeling Barack Obama being placed in handcuffs, and we are supposed go along like it is just another day. Our press has so completely lost the thread it would be laughable if it wasn't so damn dangerous and disgusting.

Media (and some Democrats) just spent a month accusing Zohran Mamdani of antisemitism for something he never said. Trump just blurted out a deeply antisemitic slur during a televised speech and it'll be crickets within a day.

Wow. So he votes to gut Medicaid and throw 17 million people off of their healthcare and then dumps his Medicaid related stock to cover his own ass? That’s just evil and cruel.

Republican Congressman Bresnahan recently sold his stock in Centene, a Medicaid health care provider. The stock has now fallen 43% since his sale. His sale seemingly coincides with his vote to advance Trump's budget bill that will kick 17 million Americans off their health care.

Contrarian Jen Rubin writes today: “Perhaps the scariest poll for Republicans was one from Maine showing Collins sure has reason for ‘concern’:Her favorability is a miserable 14% with disapproval at 57%….maybe Collins should forget ‘concern’and zoom ahead to full-blown panic.”

Joined long line of mourners today to pay respects to former speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark & dog Gilbert. Touched that prez Joe Biden joined the ‘general public’ to say a prayer. The ‘honor guard’ of golden retrievers was especially heartbreaking. RIP

Why did Congressional Republicans jam through an unpopular budget with the largest Medicaid cuts in history? It could be because nearly 70% of them would financially benefit from the bill's extension of Trump's tax cuts for the rich. Reverse Robin Hood.

Yikes.

Fed up with hand wringing by Dems and Substack writers whining that fDT violated Constitution by bombing Iran without first asking Congress. He tramples the Constitution every f’ing day in multiple ways and you’re proving powerless to stop it. Read Onion’s ad in NY Times. It’s brilliant.
