Does @axios.com really believe he’s going to do this? Sort of like releasing his tax returns, his replacement for the ACA, or whatever infrastructure week was?
President Trump said today he'll release the results of his October MRI scan, after Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz called for him to do so and claimed that the president is "fading physically."
Trump says he'll release MRI results after Walz claims president is "fading physically"
Trump said he had "no idea" what part of the body was scanned because it was "just an MRI," but the results were "perfect."

We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

A running theme of Trump II is cautious, level-headed, mainstream, career professional experts sounding existential alarms about how we aren't panicking nearly enough.
I know you already know, but for other folks who don't, Goldsmith was previously head of OLC, is a genuinely brilliant mind on executive authority and separation of powers, and is usually very cautious about making claims this unqualified and direct. That he is saying it so starkly is v significant

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.

If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

Let's not confuse the people giving the stupid orders with the people who have to deal with following them, who are often good and decent people.

Nuzzi is like Trump in this sense: the worst thing about America is not that someone that awful exists, the worst thing is that much of the press promotes and normalizes it for clicks.

This was one of Trump's very worst moments. And that is saying something.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

We are invited to assume that the New York Times did not know what Epstein was telling Landon Thomas about Trump. I decline to extend that charity.

If Epstein wanted the NYT to write about it, he should have made it about a Democrat and gotten a white nationalist hacker to leak it to them.

I saw someone on my timeline shaming someone else for posting about college football in a time like this.

Folks, if we're going to survive a time like this, we're going to need to avoid burning out from an attitude of 24/7 vigilance and constant outrage.

Let people find joy where they can, please.

It's good that public sentiment flipped as soon as people saw the consequences of the things they thought they wanted, but we have a serious problem if we're going to keep cycling through this process forever.

We need to remember that local/state elections are, in fact, local. Each segment of our citizenry has specific concerns & needs. We vote for the candidate that promises to address those specific needs within the overall political landscape… but remain committed to those who voted them into office.
