That the MAGA coalition would crack was never in doubt; the only questions were when & along what lines. Thinking anyone other than Trump could hold together his disparate supporters would be like thinking that someone other than Elvis Presley could keep together all diverse ranks of Elvis fans!
Opinion | What Happens When Trump Has Left the Building?
Divisions are appearing as we all wonder what a post-Trump MAGA looks like. Or if it will even survive.

If we could just clean up a smidgen of D.C. corruption and collect a smidgen of taxes owed, the American people could have nice things.
MGT has seen her networth jump from $700k to $25 million since joining Congress in 2021. And she served juuust long enough to get a lifetime tax payer-funded pension.

She got the joke.

"In a way it's not surprising to see [Epstein] kind of mobbed up with everybody," @michaeldweiss.bsky.social tells @timmiller.bsky.social. "I mean those emails read like, you know, the, the, the text equivalent of the Star Wars Cantina scene."

Trump’s idea looks pretty much like what we proposed—extend and reform Affordable Care credits; Johnson instead wants to rummage around in Republican box of stupid health care notions.
Trump to push new Republican plan on Obamacare subsidies
The plan calls for a short-term extension of the subsidies in exchange for new eligibility limits.

You mean a strip mall king from the Bronx is not steeped in diplomacy?
Republican Rep. Don Bacon calls for Witkoff to be fired. May it be the first call of many. Witkoff needs to go, now.

It says a lot about our country that the FBI had no interest in interviewing Brett Kavanaugh but wants to talk to Mark Kelly.

Trump, Hegseth, and Republicans think their meltdown shows strength, but it’s the opposite. They’re showcasing decorated Democratic veterans like Mark Kelly who make them look small and petty. They should pay more attention to lowering grocery prices than ridiculous threats of court-martialing.

To think they floated this bill as HOPE. Starting to lose it and my wallet too.
NEW: 20 million Americans face health care premium spikes. Trump briefly floated a fix, but House Republicans instantly revolted.

Why should we be surprised that this unqualified and reckless guy that sloppily used Signal, is a drunk and a sex predator, allegedly participating with extra judicial killings and sides with the Eddie Gallaghers finds himself in this hot water?

Business does not like uncertainty.
A key point from this interview: the "benefit" of tariffs, if it exists, is delayed. You don't flip a switch and get a plant tomorrow. You wait years. It also follows that a tariff you don’t trust to outlast a mood swing won’t change where companies build at all.

Nicolette Larson’s “Lotta Love” debuts on the Billboard charts 47 years ago today — a cover of Neil Young’s tune.

“I remember the day Neil heard her version,” said producer Ted Templeman. “He smiled and said something like, ‘That’s how the song should’ve felt.’ He was genuinely knocked out.”
