Johnson: "The SNAP benefit is a very important question. The White House has bent over backwards...to make sure that Americans' pain is mitigated as much as possible."
Trump 30 minutes later: "SNAP BENEFITS... will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government... and not before!"

Every morning at @thebulwark.com we publish a newsletter about the latest corruption and insanity in the Trump administration. Usually, we don't even have to say how bad it is; the facts alone are staggering. Today's example: www.thebulwark.com/p/a-scandal-...

The more the president talks, threatening one critic after another with prosecution — Comey, Cheney, Obama, Milley, Schiff, Bolton, James, Christie — the clearer it becomes that the allegations he raises are just cover for his own abuse of power.

When you drive a road routinely, you get used to the speed limit. Without an alert, you wouldn't initially notice a change.
Weeks after DC changed its limit, Google Maps still showed the previous limit. It takes time to catch up.
That's why MD waited to enforce its new limit — and DC didn't. (3/6)

If you visit DC this summer, beware: The city manipulates traffic signs and cameras to take your money.
Example: This is Massachusetts Ave. NW, which runs from Maryland into DC. Months ago, the Maryland side lowered its speed limit. It posted big orange signs to alert drivers. (1/6)

In case you've ever wondered how so many morons (including elected morons) fell for the "rigged election" lie and other concoctions, zoom in on the laughably phony seal here.

Did anybody else experience this bizarre meltdown by the Wordle Bot yesterday? Suddenly declaring that “visor” — which until yesterday was the only word accepted in this situation — “couldn’t be a possible solution,” even though it obviously could?
