While the country’s economy is falling apart, Donald Trump is on Truth Social trying to distract you from soaring grocery prices by smearing Rob Reiner.
Trump can’t govern. He doesn’t know how to do his job.
This is exactly what failure looks like.

On Canadian tv if Trump does a press conference they run about 30 seconds then cut away adding “he’s just repeating things he’s been saying for years” that’s what US tv needs to do. Shut him off. He just rambles.

New in PN: The tech industry will come to regret its embrace of Trump
"A comprehensive anti-corruption, pro-consumer movement would inevitably target the industry and its indifference to the harms it creates. It could be incredibly potent, and tech barons would have no one to blame but themselves."

kyrsten sinema seemingly had a long-term plan to cash out of her senate job by establishing a reputation as someone who was connected to both parties, so at minimum it is good to see her get to find out that her name is mud
