The sitting president posted a link on the social media platform that he owns to direct people to buy a book on a website owned by his son.
This sort of thing would’ve been considered a scandal in another era.

Trump’s obsession with me is beyond weird. He needs serious help.
Since he has no economic policies to tout, he’s resorting to regurgitating bigoted lies instead.
He continues to be a national embarrassment.

Trump: "Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is. With her little turban. I love her. She comes in, does nothing but bitch ... we ought to get her the hell out ... she's here illegally."

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

A huge night for Democrats:
—They flip Miami's mayorship.
—They flip a state House district in Georgia that had voted Trump by 13%.
—They keep Albuquerque's mayorship, while the liberal faction flips city council.
—And they get big overperformances (+18 & +22) in 2 Florida specials.

Remember that Elon Musk, the man who’s about to become the world’s first trillionaire, is an immigrant who avoids paying taxes.
He wants you to hate immigrants because it keeps you from recognizing that he’s the problem.
Don’t fall for it.
Abolish the billionaire (and trillionaire!) class.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

If Americans know nothing else about Russian election interference, know this: the Trump family never reported collaboration with representatives of a hostile foreign power to the FBI. Instead, they surreptitiously worked with Russians to advance their own interests, against their fellow Americans.
