This is superb reporting by BBC News’ Nick Marsh on spikes in insider trading ahead of Trump’s Truth Social pronouncements and weirdly accurate predictions on the betting market Polymarket. Well worth a read.
“The insider trading suspicions looming over Trump's presidency”
Trump continues to crater. New NBC poll has his approval down to 37-63, which is 26 points underwater.
Crucially, 50% disapprove *strongly.* Has any other president had half the country strongly disapproving?

Trump has basically turned the presidency into a giant Bribe Delivery System.

Once again, it all should have ended immediately in 2017, when he started openly monetizing his hotels at Mar-a-Lago & around the corner from the White House. We have yawned, as a country, at unprecedented corruption right in front of us.
What kind of leverage does Trump have over your family Chris? Do threats to harm them kept coming up when _you_ try to negotiate with him?
Can I interest you in some tulips?
Quite literally the POTUS said a "Whole civilization will die tonight" about Iran and Rep. Stafanik lied, saying he said the word "regime"
Notice no one’s complaining about excessive absences. Because the less he’s around the better.

Yes, and I have a "complicated relationship" with quantum physics. In the sense that, like Donald and the Bible, I've never studied it and have no understanding of it.

Trump draws Marie Antoinette comparisons as he leans into the gilded trappings of the presidency

Trump 2nd term consists of prosecuting his enemies and monuments to himself…..
Robbing us blind……
She asked for it.
The American gestapo abducted an 85 year-old widow.
Was she one of the worst of the worst? No, her step-son, a retired Alabama state trooper, got ICE to put her in a detention center to deport her because he wanted all of his father's inheritance.
Sounds like the son is the worst of the worst.
NEWS: Senate Republicans again block Democratic effort to end Trump's Iran war
47-52, largely on party lines.
Paul = lone R yes.
Fetterman = lone D no.
Some Republicans say they may flip at 60-day mark.
Democrats say they'll force a vote weekly.

Here's Trump on Jan 13, 2021, after he'd been impeached, but before the Senate had voted on whether to convict and bar him from office for life. "There's never a justification for violence ... Those who engaged in attacks last week will be brought to justice."
The Trump administration moves to clear some of the last remaining convictions related to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, as some still stood following President Trump's mass pardons last year.
I called Trump to ask about having a man who says such things in charge of federal disaster response, Trump asked “what does teleport mean” and “was he kidding?” Adding, “It just sounds a little strange, but I know nothing about teleporting or him.”
DHS/FEMA/Phillips didn't respond to inquiries.
Because he knows he doesn’t have to care, they’ll make whatever excuses he needs.
He’s stupid, ignorant, and incurious - not recognizing the Sunday school iconography Hebrew robes is the one believable thing about this ridiculous denial.
My dermatologist looks just like this when he's checking for suspicious moles.
Trump thinks he’s Jesus
I’m so old I remember when republicans said they didn’t hate Obama because of his race but because he had a huge ego and said “I” too much.
Do you guys remember how the right said Biden was “weird” because sometimes he would lean into the microphone and whisper something silly? Cause I remember. Anyhow.
