There is a 7-hour time difference between DC and Moscow. He was invited at 11:44 AM on Thursday DC time. That was 6:44 PM in Moscow. He saw Putin at 8:00 PM according to Sky News and Russians. He left Moscow at 2:00 AM. He may have actually been sitting in the Kremlin even when he joined. (2/2)

People are now referring to Pete Hegseth as “WhiskiLeaks” and I’m furious.
I’m furious that I didn’t think of it first.

Trump: "When you take away that artificial line that looks like it was done by a ruler ... you look at that beautiful formation of Canada and the US, there is no place anywhere in the world that looks like that. And then if you add Greenland, that's pretty good."

I see it. That’s not the only location that needs to hang a distress signal.
ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention?

Hearing nonsense that Ds are threatening a shutdown. False. Entire matter is in GOP hands. What's happening is that Rs are coming hat in hand to Ds for help because they can't agree among themselves. Ds shld have a simple demand. No help until the criminal conduct stops.

McGovern: People voted for lower egg prices, not for a Middle East Mar-a-lago. People did not vote to send their sons and daughters into the tunnels of Gaza so that Jared Kushner and Donald Trump can build Trump Tower Gaza.

You should print out your Social Security Statement. Elon and who knows how many countless others now have access to your private information, so it'd be wise to have a record of it.

Starting a trade war with our closest allies is the dumbest, most pointlessly self-destructive thing the U.S. has done since Bush invaded Iraq.

I'm a believer in smart policy, but all the finger-pointing in the LA firestorm about hydrant flows and LAFD budgets seems like arguing about the adequacy of Hiroshima's 1945 building code standards. It's a way to evade the big questions.

Trump seems determined to take a blow torch to alliances and partnerships around the world that a couple dozen of his predecessors painstakingly established over a century of war and diplomacy, which pleases nobody on planet earth more than his friend Vladimir Putin.

For years, Trump has promised to imminently release his infrastructure plan, health care plan, tax returns, & medical records. But he never seems to get around to it. But he did promise today to pardon J6 defendants on his first day in office. That he has time to do immediately.

Reading the pardon coverage...I don't think the significance of the Gaetz/Patel/Bondi nominations has sunk in. People still aren't getting what a politicized DOJ and FBI, with the power to arrest/bug/harass anyone for any reason, would be able to do.

It’s a mistake to ask this question because it assumes Trump’s rationality.

He wants to do this because it makes him feel powerful. He doesn’t care if the effects are good or bad. Indeed, the more destruction he causes, or the more people fear destruction he may cause, the more powerful he feels.
A question I've been debating with economist friends is what Trump is trying to accomplish with his tariffs. I mean, he can't be demanding that Canada and Mexico — with whom we have a free trade agreement! — open their markets. Now he says it's about immigration and drugs 2/
