Trump is strikingly unpopular at both ends of the economic spectrum (via @wsj)
Some nutty stuff in @maggieNYT @jonathanvswan book on Trump's failed effort to end Ukraine war, including Witkoff returning from Kremlin w/signed Putin doodle memorializing the "3+2" land for peace deal they wanted to force on Kyiv. Witkoff, touting "personal chemistry" with Putin, framed it.

A GOVERNMENT OF LAWS NOT MEN -- JOHN ADAMS (projected tonight on Donald Trump's large face outside the Department of Justice)
Not for the first time in Trump 2.0 and not, surely, for the last, asking: How can this possibly be legal?

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “We are the first college class of the A.I. era — ChatGPT arrived on campus about two months after we did,” writes Theo Baker, a graduating senior at Stanford. “For all of us, A.I. has permanently changed how we think and behave.”

"I watched a freshman I knew sign the declaration that he’d done his homework without A.I. as ChatGPT was still open in the next window—while on the deck of a yacht party financed by venture capitalists," @tab_delete.bsky.social writes. College in the A.I. Era. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/17/o...

"What Donald Trump has made very clear is that no matter what's written on paper, no matter what laws are passed by Congress, there are no permanent commitments or alliances, as far as he's concerned," @sbg1.bsky.social says.

During the royal visit, we saw “a King who venerates the American Bill of Rights and a President who, increasingly, rejects it,” Susan B. Glasser writes.

In Trump 1.0, people mocked the President by calling him Orange Jesus. In Trump 2.0, he actually thinks he’s become Jesus, Susan B. Glasser writes.
