As I’m listening to Waltz for Debby I’m thinking how wonderful it would be if Pixar was inspired by this song and went on to make Toy Story. “When she goes they will cry, as they whisper goodbye. They will miss her I fear, but then so will I.”

The President of the US said he “doesn’t know” if he has to uphold the Constitution. Anyway, I guess Fox News should get back to some imaginary story about a littler box in a school bathroom or something.

President Trump said on Sunday that he did not know whether every person on American soil was entitled to due process, even though the Fifth Amendment says as much, and complained that adhering to that principle would slow down his mass deportation program. Follow live updates.

Just so we’re clear, everybody calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “terrorist” or a “gang member” are lying, and they know they’re lying, and they repeat it for purposes of confusing people who don’t follow this stuff closely into accepting what was done to him.

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist.

He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.
