@kaitlancollins.bsky.social: “ls she [Marjorie Taylor Greene] someone that you could see yourself working with?”

@aoc.bsky.social : “Uhh…on what?” [Laughter] “Listen, I think people can talk a good game. But until they actually support policy that helps people, I’m not particularly interested.”
I got flattered back from The Other Place.

Hi (again).
Trump, Harvard, research funding and college blacklists…

Another robust but very enjoyable debate with Leland Vittert on @
NewsNation’s “On Balance.”

(Full clip below.)
If Harvard’s not going to fight Trump, who is?
“We’re going to have law and order.”
I’m on Amtrak coming back to DC from NYC.

Train conductor announces, twice, “This is Joe Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware” as we pull in.
Marjorie Taylor Greene is the latest in a line of right-wing figures who want Derek Chauvin to be pardoned.

Chauvin murdered George Floyd five years ago this month.

My thoughts, in this brief clip from today’s “Rising.”
Afrikaners, aka White South Africans, outrageously accorded a warm welcome as “refugees” by Trump …who has suspended refugee resettlement for everyone else.
Corruption on its face.

Trump and the $400 million “gift” of a luxury jet from Qatar.
The craven tone of this cabinet meeting would embarrass a Putin or Orban.
Terry Moran handles this very well indeed.
This exchange is so very telling.

Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this:

"I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"
Trump At 100 Days — a quick recap.
My favorite photo from this weekend’s festivities around the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner.

This one from the ABC News pre-dinner reception.

Good for Pelley and the team to say this 👏🏼
SCOTT PELLEY says ‘60 Minutes’ executive producer Bill Owens resigned after Paramount started meddling in their content, because they wanted to get their merger approved by Trump — specifically mentioning their coverage of Israel and Trump.
If Biden or Obama had posted “Vladimir, stop,” right-wing media would have run mockery of such “weakness” on a loop for a week.
In my adult lifetime the Republicans went from “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” to “Vladimir, STOP!”
“I don’t want to have any favorites,” says Trump, referring to a nation that was invaded (Ukraine) and the nation that invaded it (Russia).
An outright atrocity.

And one which it yet again falls to Israel’s Haaretz to expose.
Hegseth’s critics warned about his lack of managerial experience.

Now he’s holding on largely because Trump doesn’t want to bow to media criticism.

Please read every word of this.
Over the past several months, I’ve spent many hours in conversations with people who have experienced firsthand a flip from democracy to dictatorship.🧵
Lead of the top story on the Wall Street Journal right now.
Dow fell almost 1000 points today, S&P 500 has lost more than 10 percent in a month, dollar has hit three-year low.

The president:
No need for moral equivocation when it comes to Josh Shapiro and arson —

— or when it comes to the moral disgrace of what has happened, with U.S. support, in Gaza.
