Reuters reached out to everyone that Trump or his subordinates singled out publicly for retribution, and reviewed hundreds of official orders, directives and public records. The result: the most comprehensive accounting yet of his campaign of payback.

Never in modern times has a public figure been so brazenly guilty yet so mercifully immune from any and all public accountability.

There'll never be a worse sports day than one almost exactly three years ago when the Phillies lost the World Series and the Union came within 90 seconds of the MLS Cup on the same day. But this was the worst day since then. I'd love to say something funny but I'm a total funk right now

What's weirdly missing from coverage of the Dem video is any discussion of this Q: Is it reasonable to fear Trump is giving illegal orders, or not? The answer is, yes, of course it is.

On the boat bombings, for instance, evidence is extensive. Here's a look at it:

The Epstein emails have damaged Trump beyond repair, because the public has now seen the gross moral rot behind Trump's presidency and the elites who prop it up (and fawned over a convicted sex creep)

So the Dem #CaveCaucus aren't even getting a real vote out of their surrender:
♦️Without a House vote, any Senate vote is meaningless.
♦️And without at least 4 GOP crossovers, a Senate vote is meaningless too.
Q: Will you assure House Democrats they'll get a vote on ACA subsidies by a date certain?

MIKE JOHNSON: Ah -- no. I'm not promising anyone anything.

Caving on the shutdown won’t make you “moderate.” It makes you WEAK! Giving Republicans what they want for NOTHING more than a “promise” of a vote and risking millions of Americans’ healthcare isn’t compromise—it’s surrender and it’s the most RADICAL thing you could do in this moment. 1/
