Wow it’s so weird that northern Virginia would be virulently anti-Trump after a whole bunch of them lost their jobs to his clownshow

Starting a mid-decade redistricting war only to end up with -1 seats is the same fine strategic genius and subtle grasp of game theory that brough us the Strait of Hormuz.
The theory of the case -- that the SPLC defrauded donors by promising to "dismantle" hate groups while secretly paying informants inside said hate groups, a tactic that it has carried out for nearly half a century -- is completely absurd.
Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.
In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.
249 years later, we have this idiot.
This is so heinous, I do not know what to say. This shit devastates me.

This is how you do it.
I walked by the White House fence late at night decades ago and a periscope popped out of the bushes and followed me. Happened to a friend of mine, too.
Excellent piece. People don't seem to understand there's a large underground component to the White House, and has been for decades.
Simple rule: the Senate should not confirm any appointee to any post who can’t say clearly who legitimately won the 2020 presidential election. Not just who was “installed”, but who won the vote and the electoral college.
Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!

Maybe just maybe it's time for reporters to stop blasting their latest phone chat with trump across the media ecosystem without facts, context AND without a transcript of the call.
Boots on the Groundhog Day
I have seriously lost track of how many times we've completely obliterated Iran's military and how many times Trump has reopened the Strait of Hormuz.
This is nothing short of digital hate crime.
This only happens in a country that loves its guns more than its children.

He might as well answer in Russian.
It should be as empty as a Montgomery bus in 1956.

Yes, the fact that I'm attending the White House Correspondents Dinner might SEEM like a supine gesture of complete deference to the insane dullard who demands total obedience from the press, BUT that's until you see the secret message I have on my pocket square
In the past 6 months the Ukrainians have turned a corner. They are now destroying the Russian Army at a pace that will shatter Moscow quickly. Incredible drone technology. New stunning battlefield tactics. Huge European support. Trump seen as an agent of Putin.
Trump’s Iran lies boil down to two possibilities:
1. A blatant pump-and-dump scheme to enrich his inner circle.
2. He’s completely lost his grip on reality.
Federal crime or mental collapse — take your pick. Both are a disaster.

He was in the Bond movie Live and Let Die, and the moment he appeared on screen in the theater I saw it in, the entire audience reflexively shouted, "cola nut."
Dear Media:
Blindly quoting the President without fact-checking or context is just misinformation with a press pass.
We don’t need stenographers; we need journalists. Do your job.
The guy who says he invented the word groceries, who posts photos of himself as Jesus and says windmills give you noise cancer is the sober teetotaler in this administration.
