These days, a line from American Pie keeps repeating in my head: "I knew a man who sang the blues / I asked him for some happy news / he just smiled and looked away."

Lets not mince words. We are not moving toward authoritarianism, we have arrived, and Trump is unpacking.
To a despot with a big hammer the whole world looks like a nail.
Trump wants the Smithsonian to place warning signs in the Smithsonian saying their exhibits do not accurately reflect HIS view of American history. Fine with me, as long as the warning also informs the public that Trump is not a historian and is practically illiterate and his views are worthless.
I hear that Trump just signed a lucrative book deal to produce a sequel to his classic, The Art of the Deal to be titled The Art of the Steal. Write what you know!
China issued a response to Trump: “We deny interfering in US elections. We couldn't inflict more damage on your democracy than you are doing yourselves - voter suppression, vigilante police forces, a partisan judiciary, trillion dollar deficits, a nonexistent Congress, an erratic foreign policy……
I've given up hope for governmental justice. So I'll have to settle for poetic justice...
I'm struck that so far in the Blanche confirmation hearing none of the senators is asked him specifically for an example of a time he is opposed Trump and won.
This just in: mathematicians prove there was an uncountable infinity of Trump supporters who attended his speech on July 4th. "The crowd was unreal," said one.
What are the odds that Trump actually gives a speech tonight? He might either cancel or show up for the fireworks without saying a word.
By "sophisticated traders" the Times means traders with access to inside information.
🧵Keep your rotting hands off our cherry trees, Trump! Trump wants to redevelop a public golf course in DC. "A photo of the architectural plans obtained by The Washington Post and The New York Times appeared to show the East Potomac Golf Links covering the entirety of East Potomac Park ...
Peter Doocy claims "people are still coming out" to Trump's 250th fair -- even as the camera shot shows clearly behind him that almost nobody is there 😆
"If you hide it with behind a tarp nobody will be any the wiser!"
Trump is only going to stop fighting when he dies. We can't quit before he does. We must out-stubborn Trump.

Our brave neighbors inside Delaney need urgent help. They are asking that doctors go in to check out everyone in unit 2a/2b. On Thursday, May 28th, they were brutalized by GEO Group guards and ICE. They need medical attention NOW.
Trump brags that he is the only president to have aced three cognitive tests. But every day he fails the only cognitive test that matters to America: running the government. His score on that exam sits around 34 percent, which is below an F minus.
I thought the reason we are fighting this war is to end Iran's nuclear threat and open the Strait of Hormuz. I guess I was wrong, and they are only minor issues...
I think we should be calling the war with Iran, Trump's War. He started, he mismanaged it, he can't end it. So make him own it.
According to Lawrence O'Donnell Trump has golfed 14 times since the Iran war began, attended two golf tournaments and spend hours at a UFC match. But says he would "get killed" if he attended his son's wedding this weekend. Despite the fact that his son "is a person I've known for many years."
I wonder if James Comey will be getting money from the slush fund to compensate him for Trump's weaponized Justice Department coming after him. For some reason I don't think so.
