There’s always a counter tweet that contradicts whatever he said before or after
And because he no longer has any memory and suffers from dementia ?
He has no idea he doesn’t care

Just a few weeks ago people were pitching Cory Booker as a front runner for the 2028 Dem presidential nomination.
Tonight he was the only Senate Dem to vote to confirm Jared Kushner’s convict dad as ambassador to France.
Sheesh.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

This case was such a ridiculous overreach. I’m almost sad they dropped it rather than have a federal judge rule on it.

Let me be clear, we're in a perilous moment in this country.
Donald Trump is taking away our economic and civil rights — and Americans are feeling helpless and powerless.
It's time to step out of your comfort zone, into the streets, and make your voice heard.

Trump Officials Weaken Rules Insulating Government Workers From Politics

Wow. Naval Academy prof to their 3-star Admiral in his letter of resignation: "your legacy will be that of a careerist who banned Maya Angelou but retained Mein Kampf"
Prof McBride, USNA 1974, PhD Johns Hopkins, went on to say, “Your acquiescence was a repudiation of the Naval Academy’s historic mission. You may take some solace that the removal of these books was a lawful order. However, such an interpretation runs contrary to larger Constitutional issues ..

So Trump said today he was “joking” when he said he was going to end the war in 24 hours? Does he sound like he’s joking here?

It also authorized officers to enter homes without a judicial warrant, ignoring the most bedrock principle of the 4th Amendment & opened the door allowing searches of homes without warrants.

Justin Wolfers explains the REAL reason why Trump & Bessent said today that their first deal will likely be with South Korea - because that country has had zero tariffs on virtually everything from the US for 20 years already.
