I hope folks realize that between Trump, Kushner, Hegseth, Witkoff, Noem, RFK, Jr., Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard, this country is almost entirely undefended.
Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?
TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.

@theatlantic.com I'm a subscriber with a question. Why are you giving this reckless, ignorant, deeply damaged person a platform? Isn't the one Trump and the GOP gave him big enough?
Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?

Genuine question: has any GOP member of house or senate spoken out about the Dept of defense and Hegseth threatening sen Mark Kelly with lawfare? Beyond disturbing
Especially any veterans?
Shame on all those who stay silent

Trump doesn't believe anything; the things that come out of his mouth are not anchored in a single discernible principle. Good for Mamdani for making constructive use of the total vacuum in Trump's brain.
🚨 👇🏽One low key brilliant savage underappreciated move was @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social turning Trump into an FDR fan and making him appreciate the New Deal and how government helping people is good actually
