Kudos to Donald Trump for making every Republican who votes against releasing the Epstein files look even more like they're guilty of running cover for a president who was closely involved with a notorious sex trafficker.

In which I applaud moderate Democrats for bravely folding to avoid helping any of their voters.

This is one of those times when social media is important. I don't trust most major news organizations to do much with this photo, even though it speaks volumes about this moment in our nation's history. But the image going viral will get it seen, and might push news orgs to use and discuss it.

Never, under any circumstances, does Trump take responsibility for anything. It borders on remarkable.

I honestly think the fact that they’ve already rolled right into the “just makin’ up shit that ain’t even close to real” phase is a good sign. Reeks of desperation.

SNAP benefits are in limbo and health insurance premiums are skyrocketing, so Trump and his coterie of new-money slobs rub their wealth in Americans' faces. I hope you'll read the whole column (www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...), but here's an excerpt:

Olympic-level flop sweat. He’s gonna wind up blaming Mike Johnson when the shit hits the fan. “I had no idea!”

Does Trump care about 42 million Americans losing SNAP benefits? What a rude question.

JD Vance is over there doing a heckuva job maintaining the peace. Clearly the charm offensive is working.

The East Wing Demolition inspired me to sensibly suggest additional historic buildings and monuments Trump can demolish. (Full column here: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...)

My message to Republicans based on what I’ve seen firsthand at a No Kings protest and via photos and video of protests nationwide: Y’all whacked a hornet’s nest. You can pretend the swarm ain’t there, but that won’t keep you from getting stung.

I went to the Broadview anti-ICE protest to find the violent radicals and America-hating chaos agents. I found a dude wearing an eagle mask and a speedo.

My column on the importance of exposing the Trump administration's alternate reality and ceaseless lying:

Asked this ICE protester which organized crime syndicate he was with. He said none. Life in war-ravaged Chicago continues apace.

This galling, terse administration quote about the No Kings protest should enrage any American who believes the government works for us, the people. Unreal. (It's from this story: www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...)

This strikes me as interesting item in the Illinois lawsuit to stop the National Guard from coming. Apparently the same thing happened in the Oregon order attempting to federalize National Guard troops. Sounds like Trump isn't willing to directly make the order. Or they're just dumb. Both bad.

The president of the United State of America is a weak, broken, childish fool, but at least he's make Democrats sound metal AF. 🤘👹🤘

Who do these weirdos imagine they're talking to? This would resonate only with Doritos-dust-covered MAGA fanatics who wear Viking helmets while furiously trolling libs from their sweat-soaked basement futons, fully convinced they will one day be greeted as heroes in the golden halls of Mar-a-Lago.

Here, in my opinion, is how all honest pieces on the Hegseth/Trump disgrace should read:
