Proof the wealthy continue to live in a world completely disconnected from reality. We need to dust off “volcano sacrifices” again and take the risk of angering a god or two instead.

Trump could hand me a check for a billion dollars and I’d still vote against him. I don’t understand why so many Americans are happy to be bribed. Don’t you have any pride?

🇫🇮 Stubb says the more immediate danger is hybrid warfare, with Russia increasingly willing to take risks through sabotage, cyberattacks, information operations, attacks on infrastructure and other gray-zone activities across Europe.

There are new and specific numbers in this story, so it’s worth reading. I continue to resent the lack of credit to Nick Schwellenbach at @pogo.org, Dan Friedman at @motherjones.com, and me, who have previously reported every other aspect of this story, including that the sale prices were very high.

The Homeland Security Department signed a multi-million dollar agreement to buy five aircraft from a company owned by a political contributor of the secretary on her last day, documents show.

The Canada-EU story is getting a lot more concrete. A draft plan says Canada and Europe have deals on critical minerals, digital trade and energy, plus a joint purchase of 50 CANADIAN-built water bombers. Whatever “associate membership” means, this relationship is moving fast. 🇨🇦🇪🇺

Trump: "I take an aspirin a day. I don't know if it works but psychologically I need it. It thins the hell out of your blood I guess ... They want me to go down to the 80. I take the 386. I don't know what the hell it is. It's a monster. They said, 'Sir, you don't need that!'"

Trump: "I know more about inflation, I know more about everything than anybody in this room, anybody, anywhere in the world. Well, there's a woman sitting right over there. She's a housewife. But she's very good…She perhaps knows more than I do, but I actually don't think so."

Trump: "I was the one that did Space Force. That was me in the first term. When Sleepy Joe came in, he had no idea what the hell it was. He wanted to end it and the military said, 'No, we're not gonna let you do that.' Can you believe it? They told him no."

I'll be live-clipping Trump's rally in Ohio tonight. If you appreciate my coverage, please take advantage of our 5 year anniversary special and sign up for my newsletter.

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.
