With DC shooter now identified as an Afghan national not the antifa secret agent White House hoped for a good time to remember the Trump admin has gutted domestic anti-terrorism capacity and reassigned many to finding grandmothers to arrest at immigration hearings.

This is a lot, but (allegedly) Olivia Nuzzi sent a secret recorder with a sketch artist to tape Trump at Mar-a-Lago so she could feed campaign intel to RFK, where [pauses to take a breath] something Trump said about his assassination attempt “would shatter our understanding of recent history”??

My only reaction is once again to suggest people support independent, pro-democracy media. If you are inclined, you can start with Democracy Docket. Subscribing is free. Premium membership is $10mo. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0
To be clear Lizza’s story is that Nuzzi sat on important matters of national significance for personal benefit and he’s sat on these details until he could personally benefit.
All of DC media needs to be thrown into the sea. Anyone who defends these people is a goddamn clown.

Why is WAPO writing up anyone’s speculation about who the suspect might be?
I get that Laura’s statements and actions are at times newsworthy given her influence on Trump, but no one’s speculation — outside of a government official’s — should be written up this way.

After the Comey indictment was dismissed, Michael Flynn says the best way for Trump to fix a dysfunctional DOJ is to fire Pam Bondi and appoint Sidney Powell as AG.

Trump was going to roll out a health care plan. It would deliberately make healthcare more expensive.

With typical lack of self-awareness, the narcissistic and stupid Donald Trump reposts an image of himself wearing a crown while sitting on a throne with a Nazi eagle. Hardly a denial of the accusation that he's a Nazi who thinks he's a king.
