My wife warned me not to watch. As usual, she was right.

Like many of you, I tuned in to watch Norah O’Donnell interview Donald Trump on “60 Minutes.” Over the span of 40 minutes, I sat in disbelief as Trump was asked a series of softball questions with little follow-up.

According to new NBC and ABC/Ipsos polls, Trump's approval ratings — especially on the economy and cost of living — are now in the negative double digits.

Remember: Trump is a failing president.

He is not all powerful.

Trump pardoned Binance cofounder Changpeng Zhao after Binance made a $2 billion investment in his family’s crypto venture.

Now Trump is claiming he has no idea who Zhao is.

Hello?

Let me put this as simply as possible: If the 60 Minutes editorial team cuts out most of their interview with Trump to make him look his best, and he still comes across as completely demented, then it is extremely likely that Trump actually is completely demented.

Holder: The Supreme Court is a broken institution. And it’s something that has to be part of the national conversation in ’26 and in ’28.

If there is a Democratic trifecta in 2028—and I think the possibility of that is pretty good—Supreme Court reform has to be on the table.

Big Oil spent nearly $450M backing Trump & Republican candidates last year.

Now, during one of the longest government shutdowns in history, Senate Republicans voted to gut a policy protecting millions of acres in Alaska from oil drilling.

Talk about a return on investment.

Dolly Parton releases “9 to 5” 45 yrs ago today.

“I knew what it was like to be a working woman trying to make a decent living, trying to be taken seriously. .. I wanted a song that sounded playful on the surface but spoke to that frustration .. A song about women .. saying, ‘We deserve better.’”

Nowhere in the original text does it say that citizens have a right to vote. Instead, much of the government’s authority to protect voting rights stems from amendments adopted following the civil war and legislation passed during the civil rights movement. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/wha...

Jeffries: "The Trump administration and Mike Johnson are running a pedophile protection program. That's what they've been doing. And that's the reason they refuse to swear in Representative Elect Adelita Grijalva."

So, is MAGA Mike Johnson ever going to work again, or is he just going to keep humiliating himself by holding these weird press conferences every day? Trying to starve Americans and take away their health care to protect those in the Epstein Files certainly is a choice.

Trump still has not followed a court order to release SNAP funds for millions of people.

Meanwhile, he hosted a "Great Gatsby" themed party at Mar-a-Lago this weekend.

And he posted seven times about renovating a White House bathroom with marble and gold.

Priorities.
