This is really what separates Trump from Stephen Miller. He'll make it 11/14ths of the way through the 14 words and then stop to complain about Mike Tirico.
it's so funny that he wedged in a complaint about the new kickoff rule at the end there lmao

So Trump fired a Cuban-American secretary of the Navy and replaced him with a white guy on the Epstein list. That tracks.

And leaving aside the obvious, unlike what the Post's MAGA editors are doing "both sides gerrymander > unilateral disarmament" isn't even hypocritical! It's a logical corollary to the underlying premise that voters should get equal representation!

🚨 ICE tackled Mubashir Hussen, a 20-year-old U.S. citizen, in Minneapolis — ignoring his ID, detaining him without cause, then releasing him after checking his passport.
This isn’t a mistake. It’s policy and bonuses even if false. PAXIS could have helped. Help us scale this work: paxis.app

BREAKING: Trump says he 'didn't make a mistake' with his racist video post.
Q: "A number of Republicans are calling on you to apologize for that post. Is that something you're going to do?"
Trump: "No, I didn't make a mistake."
He adds later: "I guess it was a take off on the Lion King."

Trump doubles down on his racist video: I looked at the first part and it was really about voter fraud... Then I gave it to the people. Generally, they look at the whole thing, but I guess somebody didn't.

VA Gov. Spanberger (moderate, was in CIA) and NYC Mayor Mamdani (left, is in DSA) both taking steps to block local law enforcement from helping ICE as it violently violates people's rights is a good example of how the relevant divide in the Dem coalition isn't center-left, it's fight-don't fight.

Racism has been central to Trump and his movement since he came down the escalator. He is a racist. His people are racists. His defenders are racists. His supporters are racists. His party is a party of racists. If they want to disprove that, they can. But it's important to know they don't want to.

Every president from Nixon on released their tax returns, but Trump -- who insisted he would follow that custom -- repeatedly refused to do that. So finally they were leaked, showing he paid only $750 in 2016 and nothing in 2017.
He's now demanding all of us, who *did* pay our full taxes, pay him.

This is the Yale professor's explanation for why he described the physical attractiveness of a student in an email to Epstein. He explicitly says he regrets nothing about their association.
Again, I'm so happy Yale hired David Brooks to restore trust.

I swear this clip is not edited. Trump pivots from downplaying the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti ("two people out of tens of thousands and you get bad publicity") to in the very next breath claiming "we've been very tough on the waters," leaving Tom Llamas baffled ("the waters?")
