If that Trump Truth Social account posts an apology to someone, admits making a mistake, or accepts responsibility for something, then we will know something is definitely up.

Early night for Sleepy Don. Not even any insults either.
I said a prayer.
So the photos we get of the “golf outing” today is a pale and feeble looking one of him getting to a car at the WH and this one of him returning. Nothing from the course.
Pete Hegseth in December on military training: “We’re bringing a war-fighting ethos back to the Pentagon. Everything else that distracts from lethality shouldn’t be happening.”
This Weekend in Politics, Bulletin 196. A wild weekend with news coming from all different directions and speculation running rampant about Trump’s health. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...
At least while alienating all of our allies, Trump has been instrumental in bringing others closer together.
He obviously knows where he’s going.
I guess he changed hats and won’t go anywhere near the press for 5 days for no particular reason. Also can’t get any video of him actually playing golf from the usual sources.
Of course.
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
The clown show never stops. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Apparently the Red Sox are winning because of Trump.
Release the Epstein files.
I’m not getting the strategy.
It seems to me one of the best arguments to the court is that if this is truly a national emergency, the president’s own party controls Congress but has done nothing to address it with legislation, so how can it possibly be an emergency?
If Republicans really think there is a national emergency to justify the tariffs, why don’t they just pass them in Congress like they are supposed to under the constitution. This is supposedly a national emergency, but they are gambling on the Supreme Court while doing nothing?
He’s on another QAnon posting spree tonight.
Oh
I wonder why Trump imposed secondary tariffs only on India for buying Russian oil while not caring about all the other countries who buy Russian oil?
These spineless people won’t do damn thing.
He may be alive, but he’s definitely not well.
OK, this one he wrote.
The warfighters in DC got the trash picked up, now time to mulch.
Maybe ICE shouldn’t have lowered their standards for new recruits.
DOGE wasn’t a cost-cutting venture. It was a data mining operation for private interests. Trump opened the gates to the castle from inside for invaders with bad and greedy intent to plunder and exploit.
So we’re supposed to believe that the Truth Social posts over the last couple days that aren’t filled with terrible spelling and grammar, random capitalization and quotation marks where they don’t belong, with no threats or personal insults, are actually being written by Trump?
Probably the best thing for all concerned.
Checking in on the latest from MAGAville.
Foremost what now?
I guess maybe that’s more than just concerned?
How is it decided which churches get this money? Can anyone apply or has that already been decided? Is there a process to ensure these huge checks getting handed out to pastors actually is spent for this purpose? Where is Congress?
Lots of right-wing political pastors and charlatans about to get rich from FEMA money.
It just keeps getting better.
If you are a wealthy criminal defendant, it makes sense under this administration to hire the AG’s brother to represent you.
Today’s update from Weirdo HQ.
Based on her dismal approval ratings in Maine, which are 12 points lower than they were 6 years ago when she ran, they seem to be. I’m looking forward to the Bernie / Grant Platner rally on Monday in Portland, ME.
I’m looking forward to watching Lame Duck Ron Desantis’s attempts to gain traction to revive his dead end political career as a private citizen using money he has to raise himself rather than pissing away taxpayer funds and abusing govt power.
Susan Collins rolling out her familiar playbook of pointing out to Maine voters heading into an election year clear abuses of power by Trump, solely to create an illusion of independence, while doing absolutely nothing about it.
I wonder why Bill Pulte didn’t send this case over to DOJ with a criminal referral along with his selective targeting of Adam Schiff and Lisa Cook? apnews.com/article/paxt...
RFK Jr was not chosen to preside over US public health and science because he had any qualifications. He had a famous family name and Trump needed his endorsement and supporters. We saw it happen live in this call. That’s why we are here.
Trump’s hatchet man left out a few details when citing an Obama DOJ case he uses to try and justify his selective targeting of Trump’s political opponents with an agency that is supposed to be non-political.
A bunch fucking weirdos who worship a weirdo-in-chief with orange makeup.
So far it’s only one meeting …
Profiles in courage.
We are seeing.
Coming up live at 4 ET on Uncovered, 600,00 Chinese student visas for profit, Fed Gov firing, Cabinet meeting of sycophants, Cracker Barrel truths, Alford town hall, Vance & Ukraine, Mace’s latest hoax, Troops picking up trash, flag burning, & lots more. www.youtube.com/live/A3W2s4F...
At least the new DOJ’s malevolence and corruption is mitigated by its incompetence. They can’t even get an indictment on the Subway guy. meidasnews.com/news/d-c-res...
Trump calls for protest organizers to be indicted for RICO.
Interesting that this happens on the same day Chuck Grassley posts that Trump’s tariffs are hurting Iowa farmers.
Antifa is everywhere.
Today in Politics, Bulletin 195. While right-wingers fume about Trump’s new policies on Chinese students, flag burning, Intel, tariffs & other things, he holds a 3+ hour glaze session from his Cabinet. This one is a wild ride. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...
Wow. When I first read about this I assumed this was an anonymous letter. But turns out they had the courage to sign their names to it knowing the consequences of a highly vindictive Trump. Lots of respect.
Maybe Hegseth can use the clips of soldiers in uniform picking up trash around DC in a recruiting ad.
Trump won this district by 11.5 points.
Big strong Scandinavian sommelier with tears in his eyes loves Desantis.
I feel like this should have at least 3 sirens.
In case you were asking what all the bullshit about the logo was really about.
I was worried they were starting to get it. It doesn’t appear that will happen anytime soon though.
Trump ended 27 wars today and saved Cracker Barrel and college football all before lunch.
Our long national nightmare is over.
He saved Cracker Barrel and College Football today. Amazing!
Trump now has the “warfighters” picking up trash near the White House. www.fox5dc.com/news/nationa...
What Cracker Barrel may not realize is that caving on the logo isn’t enough for the right-wing grifters to call off the boycott. That takes cold hard cash and more. This is all about money.
THIS is the guy that Donald Trump has sent to Moscow multiple times to negotiate on behalf of the United States. And he talks about “peace through strength”. THIS is strength? THIS is our tough negotiator? Zero foreign policy or diplomatic experience. To deal with Putin. Sheesh.
An epic montage of the glazing of Trump from his Cabinet officials today. bsky.app/profile/meid...

Checking in on the cabinet meeting in Pyongyang …
So Trump’s cabinet officials have now said that he saved Christianity, Christmas, and College Football. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Many people are saying they want Trump to be our dictator. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
Pretty bizarre to watch the President of the US and Secretary of Transportation use official government accounts to try and put a huge corporation out of business while they are being extorted by a right-wing protection racket and a MAGA competitor. A grift op using govt power.
The government” in this case is Pam Bondi.
If flag burning really bothered Trump then he wouldn’t sign an order that simply encourages more flag burning.
May 16
The best thing to do is explain to the American people how Trump’s takeover of the Fed will impact them financially. Because to be brutally honest they care more about that than this.

I always thought attending a Christian church was supposed to be about Jesus. Turns out it’s about Cracker Barrel.
MAGA is still processing this one.
China First
This perfectly describes both the Trump presidency and the Republican Congress. The only true thing he said today.
Except nobody boycotted American Eagle.
Yup. He said it then Nutlick doubled down on it. America First!
Trump makes his autocrat move to take over the Fed. Hopefully she will challenge this in court.
The people to talk to about this are Donald Trump and Howard Lutnick.

Charlie Kirk tomorrow: What we really need to do is have more Chinese students at our universities because it’s very important. Started / Going
Trump says he’s going to allow 600,000 students from China to come to the US because he has a great relationship with President Xi and it’s very important to allow them to study here. Which is the opposite of what they’ve been saying for months.
Over an hour of questions today. None about this.
Our constitutional republic does not have any provision which allows a president to enact a criminal statute by executive order that would put people in prison. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Grassley responds to Trump and Habba’s criticism that she didn’t get a confirmation vote (she also didn’t have the votes).
He’s complaining about having to wear a yellow polyester jumpsuit and says the conditions violate the 5th Amendment prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. (It’s 8th Amendment)
Of course this is unconstitutional, but I am very interested to see if they define “flag” in this order, and if so how they define it.
Hegseth’s security detail looks bigger than most police departments.

It isn’t just that JD Vance lies constantly. It’s that when he lies he does it with smugness, arrogance and condescension.
This is what autocrats say and do. Some threats he intends to carry out, others are just meant to intimidate to produce a change in behavior caused by fear. Every day we move closer to autocracy. Who will be fearless & fight, who will ignore it and hide, & who will bend the knee?
No, most wars in human history were not resolved by the aggressor nation with an autocratic ruler still firmly in power voluntarily agreeing to stop after negotiations. But I suppose when you’re Vance and you’re all-in on being a Putin apologist, you will say anything.
If you thought Nancy Mace was going to apologize after spending her day falsely accusing a kid with an umbrella of being a school shooter, you thought wrong.
Dragging that right leg again yesterday.
