He’s misusing the word trial—which is ironic given that he had one just last year and was convicted of 34 felonies at the end of it.

I warned folks that the first sign of the final constitutional crisis would be Trump elevating the words of one Justice as a prelude to using that Justice as license.

Holy shit. The United States was not invited to the NATO summit on Ukraine in Paris on March 11.

There’s no other meaning:

The United States was just benched for colluding with the enemy.

I guess the remarkable thing here is that there’s not even a nominal “concession” from Sheinbaum. Nothing changed between yesterday and today on migration or drug policy, but the tariffs are gone. He backed down without an excuse.
Trump says Mexico tariffs are paused for any USMCA-compliant goods until April 2nd

"The first guest on Gavin Newsom's podcast was Charlie Kirk" is more than enough for me to say "absolutely not" to any suggestion Newsom play any role in the future of the Democratic Party. People like him are the past, the failures, the ones who got us here.
Gavin Newsom would have put down the Bell Riots with tanks and napalm I can tell you that much

I was someone praising Newsom for having some fighting spirit in him last year - eg vs DeSantis - but can’t really take him seriously after this, especially as he seems not to have pushed back on Kirk on a number of issues.

🚨 BREAKING: Another one of Elon Musk’s taxpayer-funded Starship rockets just exploded—AGAIN.

How many billions are we wasting on this failure factory?

Everything Musk touches blows up, catches fire, or crashes—including the Trump Administration.
