Straight-up sociopath.

Asked about a Guard member who’s dead because of his bullshit and it takes him 30 seconds to make it all about how great he is.
Q: Do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral?

TRUMP: I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I can conceive of. I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.

Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built.

This is a solid analysis, and a good counterpoint to some of the more knee-jerk reactions floating about. Very worth a read.

The Russian army is exhausted too. Russia is taking far higher casualties than Ukraine, and after 3.5 years has barely moved the front line. The idea that Russia is “winning” is simply not supported by the evidence. As I told DW News.

On one side of the ledger, we have half a trillion dollars in operating losses expected over the next 5 years.

On the other side of the ledger, we have all the money we'll hypothetically make when the hypothetical technology we imagine comes into existence mostly on its own.

So it's net positive.

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2
All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.

I don’t say this lightly: if there were any justice in this world, the people responsible for this devastation would be in jail

I bet in all of history we could count on one hand how many US Attorneys, whether properly or improperly appointed, have been sanctioned for nearly $1 million for arguing frivolous legal theories for a political purpose.

In fact, bet it is even on just one finger.

People are morons. Yes, even very smart people. Still morons. Sometimes moreso.

Even a non-lawyer could point to the obvious conflict of interest here; this DA knew it, and she did it anyways (presumably) for personal reasons.

And now one potential means of holding Trump to account is gone.
Judge Dismisses Georgia Election Interference Case Against Trump

The extremely poor judgment exercised by Fulton County DA Fani Willis in hiring a man she was dating as a Special Prosecutor to lead the case against Trump doomed the case.

Could be the result of:

- A politically motivated attack
- A robbery
- A negligent discharge
- An argument between Guard members

The point is: Don't assume anything and wait for details

Three things about the Witkoff tapes:

1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.

2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.

3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

In his 2nd term, Trump has surrounded himself with individuals like Witkoff, Musk, Vance, and Gabbard who share his positive view of Russia, his negative view of Ukraine, and/or his hostility to Europe. This seems unlikely to be an accident.
