It is very strange that people think Trump's Iran strikes are a personal reaction to his political problems and not 1) directed by Israel 2) approved by both parties, who are both heavily funded by Israel 3) part of a US/Israel plan set in motion in the late 1970s and rehearsed militarily last year.

The low turnout will force MAGA to go to great lengths to spin a clear flop as a success. Trump wanted badly for this to be a grand, raucous, March on Washington-level event and it just wasn’t close. https://trib.al/C3sbrWh
Trump’s Military Parade Was a Pathetic Event for a Pathetic President
The turnout wasn’t anything like what he wanted—and not everyone who showed up was even a fan of his.

Emptywheel offers a good critique of this writer’s choices in framing and context
Imagine if the headline were, "Trump refuses to show most basic decency" or "Trump continues to ratchet up tensions in wake of assassination" rather than "we hang on Trump's every word."
President Trump said that he had no plans to call Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota after a man assassinated a state lawmaker there and wounded another over the weekend.
"I think the governor of Minnesota is so whacked out, I’m not calling him," Trump told reporters.

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

They should have little collection plates at the polling places, so if you rank Cuomo on your ballot you can throw in some money to cover the next round of sexual harassment cases against him.

President Chump, exactly as petty as we have come to expect
"I could be nice but..."
I think this is so emblematic of Trump's personality. Cruelty, meanness and pettiness are his default positions.
This is not a good disposition for any human, let alone leader to have.

COLLINS: Have you called Tim Walz yet?
TRUMP: I don't really call him. He appointed this guy to a position. I think the governor of Minnesota is so whacked out. I'm not calling him ... he's a mess.

Jake Tapper on C-SPAN: "I feel this way about the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq story. I was a reporter that was skeptical of the WMD claim, but certainly in hindsight I wish I had been more skeptical. When it comes to President Biden's acuity ... I wish I had covered it more aggressively."

Bondi’s integrity has no beginning
Since the AG doesn't seem to be getting ethics guidance from her team these days, I wanted to make sure she has the rule in the Justice Manual in front of her, which expressly prohibits this.

The outrage is long overdue. Everything you need to know about Trump, Epstein, the transnational networks trafficking minors, and media complicity was published by @sarahkendzior.bsky.social in her brave, brilliant book "Hiding in Plain Sight" in 2020. Highest and most sobering recommendation. (!)

Republicans are having buyer’s remorse over voting for the budget bill.
Now is the time to keep the pressure on.
Spread the word and call your Senator—tell them to vote no.

This take makes me want to vomit
“In today’s climate, a military parade could offer an opportunity to counter misperceptions about the armed forces. It could bring Americans closer to service members and juice military recruitment—all of which is sorely needed,” @kschake.bsky.social writes:
Sometimes a Parade Is Just a Parade
Not everything the Trump administration does is a threat to democracy.

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!"
And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.
