Trump: "No president has ever taken a cognitive test except me. I've taken three of them. One in the first administration. They're hard. The first question is easy. You have a lion, a bear, an alligator, and a squirrel. 'Which is the squirrel?'"

Trump’s 2nd term is a smash and grab. He doesn’t care how much of America and the world that he destroys. He’s a convicted criminal taking all he can. It is an unprecedented crisis that will require massive democratic reforms and criminal prosecution for him and those who abetted his crimes.

Zach Everson@zacheverson.com

Good morning! Since Trump was re-elected, Forbes estimates— 💰His net worth is up $1.9 billion, to $6.2 billion 💰Eric’s is up 10x, to $400 million 💰Don Jr.’s is up 6x, to $300 million 💰20-year-old Barron is worth $150 million And Jared became a billionaire last year. Have a great day!

This gives me hope. Thank you, Hungarians! America's institutions have buckled under authoritarian stress, but we can reinforce them and hold these tyrants accountable.

Adam Schwarz@adamjschwarz.bsky.social

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise. He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media. The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

I think Trump very much would like to be the first human to order a thermonuclear strike. Whether it's talk about nuking Iran, North Korea, or a hurricane, he's got a history of fantasizing about it.

Jay Kuo@nycjayjay.bsky.social

This is dangerous rhetoric in a nuclear age. As Heather Cox Richardson noted: “when Trump was warning North Korean leader Kim Jong-un on social media that North Korea would be ‘met with fire and fury and frankly power, the likes of which this world has never seen before,’ behind closed doors (1/2)

The matter-of-fact way she asks what investors should do if Trump destroys Iran. Absolutely wild. "Let's talk about tonight, this deadline that President Trump has set 8 p.m., has threatened to destroy a civilization. How does an investor process that? Is it a bigger upside risk or downside risk?"

This wasn't a slip-up. Someone had to find footage from MONTHS ago of Trump without a hat, and then someone had to add graphics to intentionally mislead viewers to think what they were seeing occurred yesterday. Fox is *still* misleading viewers—after paying $787.5 million for misleading viewers.
