A house painter once said to me that H. sapiens is the only species on the planet that does not have a purpose. We get to choose.
Let's find our purpose by working with, not against, nature.

Reminder: If Trump believed even for one minute his orders to the military were always going to be lawful, he would’ve endorsed the PSA from democratic lawmakers, not threatened to have them arrested and executed.

My 2 cents:
- Trump saw Mamdani’s meteoric rise. He beat everyone, including him and the oligarchs.
- Mamdani ran on affordability and fighting for the working class.
- Trump doesn’t care about either but he wants to be seen as such.
- Embracing Mamdani is his way of co-opting these issues.

Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office.
He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people.
Release the transcript.

"...in the case of '47' the wrong information because he has no clue...it's all based on instincts."
Trump now claims Saudi Arabia might invest more in the United States than the country's entire GDP 🙃

"It might modify-or even overturn-its 1827 precedent,...It may...take the view that courts can in fact second-guess [47]-as some lower courts have-that a 'danger of rebellion' exists or that he is 'unable with...[irregular, masked & unidentified] regular forces' to execute U.S. immigration law..."
The Supreme Court is currently considering whether the president may federalize and deploy National Guard troops to a state over a governor’s objection. Luke Schumacher writes that nothing in the statute President Trump invoked allows a governor to block the federalization.
No, Trump Doesn’t Need Governors’ Consent to Deploy the National Guard
Neither the Constitution nor statutory law give states a veto over the president’s use of the National Guard to execute federal law.

"Paying the blackmailer makes you look like a cowardly mark — both to your audience and to the guy grabbing you by the wallet. And with courts announcing that they won’t be part of the president’s extortion racket, media outlets need to toughen up and quit paying...".
"The media outlets and tech platforms that settled with Trump chose to give him money because they *wanted* to. They could have fought and won, since Trump’s lawsuits (and his lawyering) are universally terrible."
CNN shows that when media orgs fight Trump, they win

Somebody should ask that vomit mouth how many people are "a lot", and then for the names of "the lot" so that a reporter who has not yet been murdered or imprisoned (disappeared) can ask the "lot" to explain their thinking to the rest of us, aka the vast majority of people on the planet.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

They really tried, the whole coastal community, but the whale is being humanely euthanized right now. Such a tragedy, completely due to crab lines left out. It is such a failure that we trash the world so hard we kill so much because of it.
A whale caught in crab nets is fighting for her life on the Oregon Coast near Yachats, with so many people rushing there before official help arrives at dawn. The whale is vocalizing distress, asking for help. It's devastating. We have to find a way to stop entanglements. Unconscionable.

Are "they" in the oval office?
Q: There's a report that Ted Cruz is laying the groundwork for a 2028 presidential run. Would you consider supporting him?
TRUMP: I haven't spoken to him about it. It's a little early. We had quite a campaign against Ted and it worked out quite nicely. We're in the Oval Office.
