This is the state of the media today:
If you state the simple, obvious truth—that the president of the United States is mentally unstable and engages in mentally unstable behavior injurious to the nation and the world—you have to fear for your job.
Pathetic.

A top economics reporter goes off script on national TV: “I am going to say this at risk of my job, but what President Trump is doing is insane.”

Putin’s lifelong dream was to somehow separate the US from NATO. But how to break up a strong alliance that stood for 80 years and continued to expand? There really was only one way to do it, he figured it out a decade ago, and played the long game. Now his guy will do it.

This is important. Not because Miller will ever be consistent in his pleadings for presidential power but because it’s a public service to demonstrate to anyone who might entertain a shadow of a doubt that there’s no neutral principle here. He wants power for his guy, full stop.

Judge Coughenour was appointed to the bench by President Ronald Reagan in 1981.
Senior U.S. District Judge John Coughenour: “It has become ever more apparent that, to our president the rule of law is but an impediment to his policy goals, the rule of law is, according to him, something to navigate around or simply ignore, whether that be for political or personal gain."
Reagan-appointed judge again blocks Trump’s unconstitutional attempt to rescind birthright citizenship.

Any four Republican Senators could stop this at any time simply by threatening to block all action (or even caucus with the Democrats) if Trump doesn't make certain concessions. They won't, but that should be a much bigger story than whether the Democrats are doing everything that *they* can.

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”
