I just listened to some grown ass CNN people have a discussion about what else the tech industry could be doing to get in Trump's good graces.
"They should praise him. He likes praise."
I know words exist to describe my level of disgust towards the fourth estate.
I haven't found them yet.

I told him to leave me alone because I have to practice calligraphy. And of course he asked what I was talking about as if I am the one that was suddenly not making sense. I said, “I'm working on my calligraphy so your death certificate will have style!” - page 50 Russell -Robert Friday Amazon

A note here: tax bills can be passed using budget reconciliation - meaning you don’t need bipartisan support. You only need a simple majority. Not 60 votes.
NEW: In order to offset the enormous cost for their tax cuts for the wealthy, Trump's advisers and congressional Republicans have begun preliminary discussions about making significant cuts to Medicaid, food stamps, and other federal safety net programs. wapo.st/40SuTMR

Torres: There’s a Turkish proverb that says, “If a clown goes into a palace, the clown does not become a king; the palace becomes a circus.” We’re witnessing the transformation of the American presidency into a circus, with Tulsi Gabbard as the potential DNI and Matt Gaetz as the potential AG.

House Ethics Cmte investigation into Gaetz remained ongoing, which is obviously why Gaetz suddenly resigned from Congress. The committee's report was about to be made public—clearly a document every Senator must be allowed to read.

It’s like Trump is looking at a list of the most unqualified people in the country—and that’s who he wants to hire. He’s an abomination.

Might as well make Judge Jeanine attorney general as long as we're raiding Fox News. At least she hosts a show that's on during the week.
