“Here’s Trump, sitting next to Zelensky, whose country is under bombardment from Russia. And despite that, Trump chose to talk about what he saw as *Putin’s* suffering.” My video breakdown of the Trump-Putin love affair. https://t.co/HF2GFg4l9z

"Progressives alienated a lot of moderates with hypersensitive speech policing and self-righteous witch-hunts," notes @CathyYoung63. But now defenders of free speech are pivoting to meet the new threat: "the Trump administration’s toxic anti-wokeness." https://t.co/oiqRhqajnE

"Biden could hardly step outside... without being confronted by pro-Palestine activists," notes @Lauren_V_Egan. But "Trump rarely ... faces a heckle." And most "pro-Palestine voters and groups" who opposed Biden-Harris don't "feel even a tinge of regret." https://t.co/3PkUM0tnJQ

RT @BulwarkOnline: You can’t love your country when you only love yourself. That is the central explanatory fact of Donald Trump's behavior…

RFK's comments "appear to be the first confirmation that he intends to act on chemtrails," reports @willsommer. It's "pure quackery." (RFK didn't use the C-word but said: “It’s done, we think, by DARPA, and a lot of it now is coming out of the jet fuel.") https://t.co/zzDvLC9jMw

The most ominous theory of Trump's relationship with Putin isn't blackmail. It's narcissism: Trump cares more about a thug who flatters him, and whom he sees as a fellow victim of the "Russia hoax," than he does about America. The evidence is piling up. https://t.co/fMz4JYkgJj

RT @BulwarkOnline: Trump talks a lot about “America First.” But he lacks the core of a genuine patriot: a sense of loyalty to something lar…

“Trump facilitates and excuses Putin’s assaults. He deflects blame from Putin to Putin’s victims and the US. He dismisses the Russian leader’s long record of treachery.” He “doesn’t care what Putin did to anyone else. To Trump, all that matters is Trump.” https://t.co/fMz4JYjITL

RT @SarahLongwell25: Most of what we do, we give away totally free. That’s because we believe that you can’t save democracy from behind a p…

If you thought Trump would spend his whole presidency playing golf, you were an optimist. @CathyYoung63 rounds up all the damage he's done, from the J6 pardons to the trade war to choking Ukraine to outsourcing imprisonment without trial. https://t.co/VNcyW6i567

OK, basketball nerds: Is there an NBA rule for a ball that's through the hoop before the buzzer but is still in contact with the scorer's fingers? Looks to me like that's what happened with Gordon—and the refs, to do the right thing, pretended he was no longer touching the ball.

RT @BulwarkOnline: "How do these men spout such utter garbage with a straight face? The answer is that they’re in these jobs precisely beca…

Bukele “is engaging in a conspiracy with [Trump] to subvert the rule of law in America,” writes @Malinowski. Democrats should propose "the most crushing possible sanctions, including asset freezes on Bukele," if he "doesn’t return Kilmar Abrego Garcia." https://t.co/jVfQLNg9Sr

He sexually abused E. Jean Carroll, arranged the release of Andrew Tate, and introduced an “apparent requirement that any nominee for a major cabinet role have at least one serious accusation of sexual misconduct.” @monacharen on Trump’s “family policy.” https://t.co/fkWSpPdFod

"Trump and his allies are trying to rewrite the history of COVID, in a way that not only erases their own role in the pandemic’s harms but [leaves] America more vulnerable to the next one." @CitizenCohn on Trump's corruption of https://t.co/ShxtZIVRPM. https://t.co/5hnsEjm5L3
