This Memorial Day I'm grateful that John K@ss hasn't run another self-plagiarized column denigrating the culture of African-Americans, the actual inventors of Memorial Day. Glad to be spared more noise about his GREEK WARRIOR dad, a grocer who never served under the American flag

An Obama-appointed judge just threatened Trump with arrest if he doesn’t restore every dime of paused funding.
Since when does a judge have the power to override the President like this? 🤔🔥

Power projection via war: Very expensive.
Power projection via USAID: Very cheap.
It's not 4D chess, people.

If ËŁmø Ṃüśq̃ showed up with interns to bulldoze the World War II Monument so as to make room for a memorial to gamers, MAGA would cheer them on. After all the woke WW II Monument also honors "people who were captured," like this Chicagoan held in captivity by Nazis.

When having the job is more important than doing the job, you should lose the job. This is a coward.

Senator Bill Cassidy was the deciding vote to advance RFK Jr.'s nomination. As CNN's @jeffzeleny told me on @InsidePolitics, "The reality here is, it is virtually impossible, politically speaking, to withstand the opposition particularly if you are up for reelection."

In its simplest terms, the apparent demise of #USAID is the result of the world's richest man ending a program that helps millions of poor people. You don't need a Ph.D. in moral theology to see why this is an evil. You can just read Jesus's parables on the rich and the poor.

165 Canadians died for America in Afghanistan.
We spent over $20B.
Why? To defend you, our ally, on the invocation of NATO Article 5.
Now America slaps us with a depression-threatening trade war and threats of annexation.
Unappreciative, disgraceful. We won’t forget.

If you don’t want to pay higher prices on tariffed goods, then buy American made products.
Pretty simple.

Musk is our best hope for containing Trump. He displays autonomy & brilliance that the standard Trump toadies lack. It may be the final masterstroke of the Founders' design that, should democracy fall to oligarchy, the oligarchs control the despot, insuring the US has no Putin.
