"It’s a perfect (taxpayer-funded) relationship. She thinks he’s amazing. And he agrees." @maureendowd captures the unsettling co-dependency between @realDonaldTrump and his ever-present, fawning sidekick, Natalie Harp, and what is says about them both in this excellent column. nytimes.com/2026/08/22/opini… via @NYTOpinion

I am loving, LOVING, that the refs in GER vs CIV are ignoring the omnipresent fakery of the World Cup today. I see players flopping nonstop as usual but what is different is the refs are ignoring it. Magically after 15-20 seconds of player “agony”, they rejoin with nary a limp.

Just 2 years ago. So much wisdom by comparison…
Twenty years ago we invaded Iraq. The war killed many innocent Iraqis and Americans. It destroyed the oldest Christian populations in the world. It cost over $1 trillion, and turned Iraq into a satellite of Iran. It was an unforced disaster, and I pray that we learn its lessons.

Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other soon after WWII. One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing. The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

During the Great Recession in '09, when @BarackObama stepped in and the government took a stake in GM and Chrysler to save them from collapse, the @GOP howled "socialism!" Trump now demands Intel give the government a 10% stake in their company, and what does the GOP say? Crickets. Nada. Nothing.

A masterclass on what happens when the marketing team gets too big for its britches and takes an outstanding and easy to remember name and turns it into meaningless gibberish tied to a sound protocol. Alaska Miles = memorable and on brand. Atmos Miles = WTH? @AlaskaAir

Is our President going to send troops to Indiana to fight crime?
The 2024 violent crime rates per 100,000 people in Washington, DC (926) and Indianapolis Indiana (878) are very similar. In 2024, you were more likely to experience violent crime in Elkhart, Indiana (995) than DC

Wanna hear how Republicans talked about tariffs before Trump castrated all of them?

Trump went bankrupt 6 times.
Lutnick: "Let Donald Trump run the global economy. He's knows what he's doing. He's been talking about it for 35 years. You gotta trust Donald Trump in the White House ... it's broken. Let him fix it ... Let Donald Trump fix the American economy."

I love seeing hypocrisy called out! The filibuster helps the party out of power. #sinemawasright #manchinwasright
Change of heart on the filibuster, I see!

Nota bene: Elon Musk has committed 2 cardinal sins in Trump world. He upstaged him; and is now responsible for an embarrassing defeat. (and Trump must absolutely hate the whole President Musk thing.)

CNN just aired a montage of Republicans in Congress, right after January 6, squarely blaming Trump for the insurrection. This is an important reminder as Trump and MAGA Republicans now attempt to rewrite history and target Liz Cheney for investigating Trump’s actions on that day and the events leading up to it.

Nathan Clark — the father of 11-year-old Aiden Clark, who was killed in a car accident in Springfield, Ohio — tells JD Vance and Donald Trump to stop using his son’s name and the city of Springfield to demonize Haitian immigrants. “This needs to stop now!”

New story about the Haitians in Springfield, OH, where the cat hoax originated. CEO of McGregor Metal: “I wish I had 30 more. Our Haitians come to work every day. They don’t have a drug problem. They’ll stay at their machine. That’s a stark difference from what we’re used to.”
