When you make the other party illegal....

Trump repeatedly stops/starts the Iran "wars" because the War Powers Resolution he's abusing strictly limits him to 60 days of military force with 30 more days to withdraw for a total of 90. Just so we're clear. He's claiming each is a separate war, to avoid being denied Congressional authorization.

3 books on Trump by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Cay Johnston: - The Making of Donald Trump (2016) - It's Even Worse Than You Think: What the Trump Administration Is Doing to America (2018) - The Big Cheat: How Donald Trump Fleeced America and Enriched Himself and His Family (2021)

You can thank Rand Paul for featuring Dr Fauci's private diary, wherein American voters discover Obama's verbatim personal opinion of DJT and Junior.

I hope he sues and writes a book about the sheer inconvenience and discomfort of his interrupted life.

It turns out we're not off center at all. In fact we're right in the middle of a 250-year status quo.

Fauci could have saved more if Trump would have let him. Maga are partisans who couldn't handle a pandemic. It required them to tighten their belts until it was over. Insisting on business as usual, they got a more deadly plague as a result of denying it. This is mass post-pandemic trauma.

Passing along the suggestion to watch this excellent documentary.

Rand Paul Is on the wrong side of the aisle to complain that someone takes the 5th or otherwise deflects all questions. If only he had been so outraged over all those Maga conspirators like Pam Bondi. The lawyers for Fauci are spoiling his show today. Boo hoo.

We've succeeded in outing Maga's schemes to the point that they can't simply fix the polls. It's why we're seeing a full court press -- the DNI hire, the effort to besmirch Biden via audio and Fauci with private diary questions. And running to SCOTUS (again!) about getting at the mail-in ballots.

Trump hates and insults Kaitlan Collins because she reports the facts clearly, unabashedly and professionally. He would rather reputable news be called "just opinion" while his own bizarre disinformation, white noise and propaganda leads the way instead.

Zelensky says Putin will shortly deploy 30,000 North Korean troops.

The Correspondents' Dinner was determined to have their normal event, so they put up with Trump's presence but largely ignored him. Award winners shook his hand cursorily -- with the office, not the man.

Trump just canceled improved training for ICE agents. It's the smoking gun that he prefers them the way they are -- not real police.

Two senior US officials tell NBC News that military commanders are allowing some Iranian missiles and drones to pass through air defenses to preserve the Pentagon's shrinking supply of missiles to engage them. Officials insist they fire interceptors at anything on track to harm US troops.
