"We suffer through daily reminders of the weakness of his mind, but the U.S. has muddled along with other dim presidents. Where Trump occupies a category all his own is in his breathtaking moral depravity. The man is a moral abomination, and so are his defenders."

1. Susie Wiles, the WH chief of staff, says J.D. Vance has been “a conspiracy theorist for a decade.”
True!
I discussed Vance’s conspiracism with @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social. Vance embraced the same extremism he once warned about. See the 8:50 mark here:

The Trump sycophants and spinmasters can twist the jobs numbers all they want to fool people, but here is one simple number they can’t change: the US unemployment rate is now the highest it’s been in 4 years.
