Not necessarily. Drumpfs kink with Vance is making him look weak. Drumpf wants him to fail and take the heat. Vance is younger than 47, so moldy orange feels inferior over that. This is a petty creature.
NEW: A federal judge on Tuesday ruled that key actions Trump took to delay solar and wind projects across the U.S. were illegal (me for @heatmap.news)
Ossoff: "You were talking earlier about Jared Kushner. The guy leading our diplomacy in the Middle East is bringing in billions from Middle Eastern princes and sheiks and going around the region asking for billions more while he conducts nuclear diplomacy on behalf of the country. It's obscene."
TUR: It appears the president is more desperate in this moment. Do you agree?
LAWLER: Well, let's look back. Obama engaged in a 7-month conflict in Libya--
TUR: We don't need to go back to Obama. Let's stick w/ Trump
LAWLER: Excuse me, excuse me. Yes we do.
TUR: How does that make this war okay?
If they can't blame Obama or Biden, they've got nothing. They can't defend Trump, so they point and attack some squirrels.
Screenshot of a tweet by No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen (@NoLieWithBTC) reporting that Trump warned Virginians that voting yes on a redistricting referendum would cost him power, quoting Trump saying "If the Democrats get additional seats, they're going to be making changes at the federal level." The post includes a split image of the Virginia state seal and a close-up photo of Trump with a stern expression.
Sounds like a great reason to vote YES, Virginia! We're counting on you today.
The Fed relies on data and objective reality. Kevin Warsh’s refusal to acknowledge the 2020 election shows he’s more interested in politics than facts.
An independent Fed Chair needs a backbone, not a loyalty pledge. — Warsh is compromised. Hard pass.
Spanish Flu was a misnomer as this flu apparently started in the US at a military base in Kansas.
Hegseth is openly killing our military.

I'm sure being on a aircraft carrier is so different than a cruise ship full of people when a virus hits.
Impeach this moron.
More evidence of the Hegseth philosophy of cannon fodder military. Ensuring a lack of health, good order & discipline knowing casualties will increase. Every decision Hegseth is making is solely focused on weakening our military performance & execution.
Secretary of War Pete Hegs... # © • 39m The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force. We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately.
Make this make sense.
I didn't realize that not getting the flu was "woke."
Rep. Andy Ogles: "We're the dominant predator across all landscapes"
They not only won’t cancel; they’ve handed the entire event over to the fascists.
Stephen Miller and Pete Hegseth are sitting at CBS’ table.
FCC’s Brendan Carr has actually been invited, while he’s trying to take away press freedoms.
If you attend the White House Correspondents Dinner this year, you should be legally barred from using the term "journalist" to describe yourself from that point on.
As fuel prices soar, climate leaders urge Democrats to equate clean energy with affordability [via @theguardian.com]
❗️Reuters: Russia has cut oil output by an estimated 300000 to 400000 barrels per day in April following Ukrainian drone strikes on refineries and ports. The disruption, combined with reduced pipeline flows to Europe, marks the sharpest monthly decline in production since the COVID period. #Russia

Insane corruption.
And if Lutnick is profiting from the end of tariffs you can bet Trump is getting a taste.
The media’s failure to cover Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner’s ongoing conflicts of interest as he gets billions from the Middle East while being Trump’s negotiator is insane.
(Especially after what they did with Hunter Biden)

New in PN: Speaker Johnson's beginning of the end
"Johnson has such a small majority he can’t afford to alienate anybody, & he has nonetheless managed to alienate everybody. The coming months will be brutal for him & are likely to end w/his speakership destroyed in a humiliating, titanic blue wave"
When the Iranians sound like Daniel Dale, CNN’s master fact checker, one must grudgingly acknowledge they're more credible than Trump. Trump, deep into self-delusion, insists Iran’s debunking is simply catering to its domestic audience! He won't accept “no”. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
Wait, Cruz wants to be a voice of reason?! Nah. He knows Cornyn is vulnerable and starting to think he might be.
Dismantling Voice of America was one of the most devastating things I’ve witnessed. VOA wasn’t propaganda, it was proof that free press could criticize its own leaders and still survive. And now we’re throwing away one of our greatest tools of freedom.

Maddow: "Do we think our servicemen and women are in good hands? Do we think that there is care being taken in terms of what they're risking their lives for?"
The person negotiating in the Middle East on behalf of the United States does not technically work for the United States.
