Russia still controls 0 out of the 23 regional capital and special status cities that Ukraine controlled at the start of the full-scale invasion. 0/23!

This explains why Trump is working around the clock to save Russia from humiliation

It's not bean bag, Cheryl. They understand that there is a death count that results from his and Trump's irresponsible decisions.

A death count.

I rediscovered this post I wrote in May, about how Trump has shifted the money the US used to spend on curing cancer into snatching your neighbors.

Awful: Trump just admitted in a new interview that he knows "very little" about the Honduran ex-president he pardoned. This guy trafficked a gazillion times more drugs into the US than anyone Trump has executed. Wrecks his case for the boat bombings.

The tariffs are the greatest abuse of power by a President in our history.
The President of the United States unilaterally levied a tax on all of us and is redistributing our taxes to a core segment of his supporters.
Trump: "I'm delighted to announce this afternoon that the US will be taking a small portion of the hundreds of billions of dollars we receive in tariffs ... and we're going to be giving and providing it to the farmers in economic assistance. We love our farmers. The farmers like me ... $12 billion"

This is a pretty stunning admission, he doesn't appear to know how group insurance works. Toyota/GM don't buy insurance, employers of that size are self-funded. They pay United or Aetna for admin services, but they pay for the actual health care themselves (with some catastrophic/stop-loss coverage)
Rand Paul on his healthcare plan: "What if you could join Costco? Costco has 44m members and if one person negotiated for all 44 and they bought a group plan like Toyota or General Motors does, they would be the largest collective entity in the country. They would drive prices down by sheer might."

The person who Republicans want to have complete control over literally everything with zero checks and balances knows less about how things work than most 5th graders.
there is no available evidence that donald trump understands what a tariff is, what a trade deficit is, and what the national debt is.
The way Trump talks about the problems he caused by unilaterally imposing tariffs is fairly insane, even by his standards.

New in PN: Mike Johnson's downward spiral

"His speakership is a story of chaos and failure at a time when he and his party should be racking up wins. Apparently, the Lord played a trick on his humble servant: He may have given Johnson the job, but He didn’t say he’d be any good at it."

it’s pretty funny that Duffy is simultaneously

1. scolding passengers for not wearing fancy clothes while flying

2. supporting airport gyms so passengers can be sweaty and gross while flying

both of these proposals are idiotic but the direct contradiction is next level
Duffy on what he's doing to improve the airport experience for travelers: "Maybe I want a workout area where people might get some blood flowing doing some pull ups or step ups in the airport."
