Fox News won't ask this, of course, but the next question for anyone else should be, "Ok, then I assume you support government-funded mental health programs with easy access for Americans all across the country to end this scourge of violence?"

Trump: "Windmills -- we're just not gonna allow them. They are ruining are country."
Despite backsliding in the US, global investment in renewable energy stayed strong in the first half of 2025. This is the energy of the future, and the GOP is letting the rest of the world develop it.
A word from the Bard.
These lies are like their father that begets them, gross as a mountain, open, palpable. Why, thou clay-brain’d guts, thou knotty-pated fool, thou whoreson, obscene, greasy tallow-catch—
Trump has now fired 50 political appointees across the government who make sure our government runs, including 17 inspectors general who conduct oversight over waste, fraud and abuse.
So far during Trump's 2nd term, the DOJ has fired or demoted more than two dozen prosecutors who were assigned to hold January 6th insurrectionists accountable. They were fired for doing their jobs and protecting our democracy. That's outrageous.

So this is the President of the United States reacting to being criticized by saying we should revive a defunct and well outside the statute of limitations criminal investigation against the person offering the criticism.

"... and fretting about falling in the ratings to upstart competitors like Newsmax and OANN if they didn’t indulge MAGA viewers." In other words, if they didn't lie to you.
"Discovery in the Dominion case revealed a trove of emails, text messages, and other communications between the network’s executives and on-air personalities admitting they knew the election fraud claims were false, mocking Trump’s attorneys and surrogates as “crazy” for pushing them ..."
Jesse Watters did not believe the election fraud claims but still texted his colleague Greg Gutfeld to say he thought Fox would get “incredible” ratings if they “went ALL in on STOP THE STEAL.” Who cares about democracy if you can get ratings? www.mediaite.com/media/news/j...

🎯 CUPP: “One of the first things Russia did after it invaded Ukraine illegally was have the ministry of culture review all the museums… This stuff happens all the time in totalitarian and authoritarian countries that want to whitewash history for propaganda.”
Reminder that 10+ Jan 6th insurrectionists pardoned by President Trump have already been rearrested, charged or sentenced for other crimes. The crimes include plotting murder of FBI agents, child sexual assault and reckless homicide while driving drunk.
"Honest" and "Accurate".
Reporter: I have lived in the DC area for almost 50 years now. The most violent moment in my life was January 6th, 2021, when Trump's supporters charged into the Capitol and beat cops. Trump's response to that was to pardon everyone who was involved

JPMORGAN: “.. the building drag from higher tariff rates aligns with the recent downshift in labor demand to elevate the risk of a slide into recession. We continue to place this risk at 40% and see recent developments kicking in the Fed’s asymmetric reaction function.”
💰 The New Yorker puts a number on it— $3.4 billion That’s how much Trump & his family have profited from his presidency, estimates David Kirkpatrick. (Mentions my reporting too.) www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
".. three and a half billion dollars in Presidential profits — even though my accounting is necessarily approximate — is a dizzying sum. .. he treats his public office as personal property, as an asset that is his to exploit as if he owned it."

"In short: The tariffs are hurting the very industries they were supposed to help. It's time to put an end to this failing experiment in economic central planning."
Going to keep saying: a society that wants to keep functioning needs to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities
The Trump administration has announced that the US will rewrite past climate reports, in a clear attempt to erase scientific history and undermine the consensus on human-caused climate change.

Trump is panicking because the economic numbers are giving a recession vibe. From the Chief Economist at Moody's.
"Wind and solar are increasingly under attack from populist politicians on the right, such as US president Donald Trump and Reform in the UK. Nevertheless, they will together meet more than 90% of the increase in global electricity demand out to 2026, the IEA says ..."
"Renewable energy will overtake coal to become the world’s top source of electricity 'by 2026 at the latest', according to new forecasts from the International Energy Agency (IEA)."
If your anti-imperialism requires denying atrocities, attacking victims, and shielding dictators, it’s not anti-imperialism. It’s just inversion, reactive, predictable, and morally bankrupt.
It's not just him.
His framing appeals to people disillusioned with US foreign policy, understandably, but it replaces one distortion with another. It doesn’t expose power. It shields it, as long as that power wears the right uniform.

Krugman: "the interaction between this Japan deal and Trump’s other tariffs probably tilts the playing field between U.S. and Japanese producers of cars, and perhaps other products, in Japan’s favor." (To be clear: That's not how this is supposed to work.) paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the-art-of...
Honestly, it's worse, it's dumber, and it's more dishonest than I had expected, and I've ridden in a few of these tariff rodeos.
"Japanese officials said there was no written agreement with Washington — and no legally binding one would be drawn up", and surprise surprise, they deny giving Trump $550b to arbitrarily spend however he wants. www.ft.com/content/c118...
