New reports say Waltz will be named UN Ambassador. I'd like to think that there is no way he'd get confirmed by the Senate after signalgate but who am I kidding.

Hard to take the Times seriously on this when they went out of their way to sane-wash Trump whenever possible during the last campaign.

We're extorting a nation that is desperate for our help so they can survive. Absolutely disgusting.

Breaking News: Indisputable Photographic Evidence Tying Trump to MS-13

More: Resolutions of inquiry have existed since the very first Congress to seek answers from the executive branch. If passed in the committee of jurisdiction, the resolution gains "privileged" status and goes directly to a full vote before the entire chamber.

The attempt to shut down the resolution of inquiry process outside of an emergency appears to be without precedent.

"Speaker Johnson is trying to blind Congress and take away one of the only tools where the majority of Representatives, unfiltered by party leadership, can conduct oversight," said Sean Vitka of Demand Progress, a watchdog group.

They've already backed down.

More: The Los Angeles Port head added on Thursday that U.S. exporters are also getting "hit hard" by retaliatory tariffs amid Trump's trade war. Seroka said the sectors include agriculture, heavy-duty manufacturing and information technology services.

"U.S. ag exporters are having an especially challenging time, so much so that in March, China bought more soybeans from Brazil in one month than ever in their history," Seroka said.

Meanwhile, major retailers have told Seroka that they have about a six- to eight-week supply of inventory but that "will quickly dry up." The Los Angeles Port is the major point of entry for cargo ships from China and Southeast Asia into the U.S.

More: Trump has in the meantime made himself " and the US " into an international laughing stock, never mind the damage that policy uncertainty is inflicting on the global economy. You'd be forgiven for thinking that chaos is itself the policy goal.

Repeatedly forced to row back on its demands and aspirations, the White House has been left looking back-footed and ridiculous.

Where are the gun nuts who love to crow about fighting government tyranny now that actual tyranny is taking place? Warrantles home raids are a direct violation of the 4th amendment.

John Pinette was hilarious.

Not sure which is more disturbing, the lies they make up to demonize the brown people they are terrified of or the millions of MAGAts that believe those lies without a scintilla of evidence or critical thinking.

This is what poor leaders do. Shame on the Senate for confirming this piece of garbage. Every Democrat that voted for him should be primaried.

#6, I think anyone who isn't MAGA understands that it is.

Pretty sure I had to get the vax when I got assigned to III MEF.

More right-wing woke BS from the most horrible people on earth.

More: Yeah. The tariffs are the greatest policy error, arguably, in American history. He's using these powers without congressional assent in this capricious and tyrannical way, and it's blowing up on him. It's slowing the economy down. Prices are going up. The market's crashing. Confidence in the United States is ebbing. Money is flowing out of the country. The safe haven that's been so critical to our economic success and the dollar strength has been severely damaged. We've learned that Trump has now said that he's going to unilaterally reduce the China tariffs, having been persuaded by his economic team that they were doing enormous damage to the country. So he's in some form of another retreat"again. I think that this is part of this broader pattern, Greg: that he's failing and retreating and stumbling, and his buffoonery is becoming clear to the whole world.

More: The flashy online announcement called it "the most EXCLUSIVE INVITATION in the World," a chance to have "an intimate private dinner" with President Trump at his members-only golf club in Virginia, followed by a tour of the White House.

A seat would be reserved for each of the top 220 investors in $TRUMP, a cryptocurrency that President Trump launched on the eve of his inauguration.

In an astonishing escalation of the Trump family's efforts to profit from cryptocurrencies, a website promoting Mr. Trump's so-called memecoin announced on Wednesday that the coin's largest buyers would be invited to meet with him. The effort was, in effect, an offer of access to the White House in exchange for an investment in one of Mr. Trump's crypto ventures.

"Have Dinner with President Trump and the $TRUMP Community!" the invitation said. "Let the President know how many $TRUMP coins YOU own!"

China is eating our lunch while we piddle our future away fighting a culture war that will never end.

She looks like that puppet Madame.

JFC she aged like milk.

He didn't kill anyone rich enough to warrant a terrorism charge and the death penalty.

More: Gore, for his part, cited German philosophers' "moral autopsy on the Third Reich" in the aftermath of World War II.

"It was [Jurgen] Habermas' mentor, Theodore Adorno, who wrote that the first step in that nation's descent into hell was, and I quote, the conversion of all questions of truth into questions of power,"' Gore said. "He described how the Nazis, and I quote again, attacked the very heart of the distinction between true and false.' End quote. The Trump administration is insisting on trying to create their own preferred version of reality."

...

"They say the climate crisis is a hoax invented by the Chinese to destroy American manufacturing," he said. "They say coal is clean. They say wind turbines cause cancer. They say sea-level rise just creates more beachfront property."

...he was put there to get rid of a lot of bad people ... Trump said

I'm surprised he actually admitted he wasn't put there to lead or do a good job. We all knew it but it seems Trump messed up and told the truth for once.
