Wow! Jesse Welles performed his song “Join ICE” on the Colbert Show last night. 🏆

In the Oval Office, now decorated like a French brothel, two men laughed hysterically.

I watched it on CNN. Nothing they said was funny.

Nothing.

Mohammed bin Salman OK'd the brutal murder of WaPo columnist Jamal Khashoggi. Trump says, "a lot of people didn't like that gentleman (Khashoggi) ... Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen."

Would Trump be as insensitive if the subject was a murdered young podcaster? Probably not.

Trump to Bloomberg's Catherine Lucey: "Quiet, piggy."

Yesterday, in the Oval Office with Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Trump objected to a reasonable question from ABC's Mary Bruce. "I think you are a terrible reporter," Trump said.

These women are exceptional reporters.

Call me crazy — you wouldn’t be the first — but I’m not convinced the “Epstein files” will be released in any unfiltered, unexpurgated fashion. In short, I’m betting Trump and his DOJ have tampered with them.

Again, President Trump has told you which journalism outlets to trust. If Trump doesn't like a news organization, you know you can count on that company for accurate, reliable news.

Breaking news: A federal court blocked a newly drawn congressional map in Texas that Republicans hoped would have given them an edge in five more House seats.
Court blocks GOP-friendly map in Texas
The map would have given Republicans a leg up in as many as five House districts.

I just heard this "song." I think it's reassuring to know that AI can "write" a song — tune and lyrics — as hackneyed and boring as anything composed by a talentless human being.

ABC's Mary Bruce asked tough, necessary questions at today's news conference with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Trump called ABC "radical left news" and threatened to have the FCC pull licenses of ABC affiliates. Once again, Trump tells you which journalism outlets you can trust.

The murderous Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman — "my good friend," Trump says — is in the White House. Why do I get the feeling the Trump family is about to make a few billion in crypto?

I was a sophomore in HS when Nixon resigned. Watergate was ALREADY a topic in history classes.

Today, Education has been gutted and many state legislatures are whitewashing events and restricting how teachers do their jobs. What will future children learn about this strange era?

We better care.

No president has his image on a coin during his term of office. Or in his lifetime. Monarchs, yes. Presidents? Never.
