Trump Voters Like Marco Rubio More and More And J. D. Vance less and less

The Trump voters I’m hearing from have strange new respect for—of all people—the Secretary of Everything.

The Sad, Mad GOP Base (with Amy Walter) If there’s a blue wave in the 2026 elections, it’ll be either because new people start voting for Democrats, or the current Republican base gets sad and stays home.

Calling all audiobook fans: Audible is running a sitewide sale and “How to Eat an Elephant” is almost half off!

If you’re thinking of preordering the audiobook, now is a great time to do it.

Yeah, that tracks.

"Barack Hussein Obama" in 2026 is a recession indicator.

Do we think Vance or Rubio left that speech feeling good about 2028?

Did he ad lib that? Was that a pre-written speech? Because it was nuts.

Interrupted prime time programming to do a live, spoken, Truth Social post.

Everyone all day has been debating if Trump would end the war or would he send in ground troops. Instead, he just said absolutely nothing either way.

I'm not a foreign policy expert but telling our European allies to just “take” the oil seems awfully silly.

Like “hey guys, know we're currently bombing this country and stuff but just pop on in and take the oil if you'd like.”

"Claude, write me a speech in the voice of Donald Trump about foreign policy"

He listed off how long other wars were?

We got zero new information about the war we are current waging.

This speech is insane. Our President is a lunatic. Also, he sounds like a moron. A real low IQ individual. Don’t be numb to how crazy this is.

The Great Trump Library Robbery A Trump family grift, a money switcheroo, a sleazy land grab, and shitty AI architecture all rolled into one.

Liberation Day Brought Us Here Trump’s tariff catastrophe taught the world about TACO. We may have over-learned the lesson.

Tomorrow will be one year since Liberation Day. As @eggerdc.bsky.social writes in Morning Shots @thebulwark.com: "We’ve been living in the time of TACO ever since…By introducing us to the TACO model, it sowed the seeds of our present catastrophe, too."
