As I said before, Trump's central message for his campaign this time is that he's going to finish the job he started on January 6th.

Talking about his district, Santos said: “You sit in a room with a lot of Jews, you’re fucked!”
Then he assumed a fake Yiddish accent, to say: “Oh he’s such a mensch. He’s such a mensch.” Listen here

NEW: I spent months talking w/ George Santos for a potential documentary on him (my team eventually ditched the project when it was clear he wanted lots of $).
In our conversations Santos offered striking remarks on his scandals & a notable “Jewish” impression (audio below)…🧵

It seems we've all long given up the pretense that Title 42 is justified on public health grounds. But a reminder that the CDC never thought Title 42 was justified by public health needs and was forced to issue the border policy anyway

5. It shows him defeating his enemy, mocking them, pouring his contempt on them while his fans applaud and cheer. Without that foil there's no drama. When it's over he has proven his mastery over the people he and his fans loathe.

4. The journalist with their petty "facts" is essential to the spectacle. Getting fact-checked then bullying the journalist is WAY better than just repeating his lie on Truth Social for the zillionth time.

Top Pro-DeSantis Super PAC mentioning January 6, rigged election, even Access Hollywood tape very prominently here. Notably not stuff DeSantis touches at all yet, but we'll see if it's a leading indicator.
Quote Tweet
On CNN tonight, Trump spent an hour talking about:
- What he did or didn't do on January 6, 2021
- Whether he will pardon people who harmed police officers
- How the 2020 election was rigged
- Whether he supports terminating parts of the U.S. Constitution or the whole thing…

I think the actual position of people like and is actually “yes Trump is a sexual predator and I don’t care,” and I wish they would just have the courage to say that and defend it rather than this ludicrous special pleading.

This seems so obviously true to me and also so weirdly absent from GOP politics, at least as spoken in public.
Quote Tweet
Our team at @WPAIntel analyzed public research (not our polling) on the impact that Donald Trump had on down-ballot races in 18 and 22
From this, it is clear Donald Trump would be, in layman's terms, a disaster for Republicans in competitive seats as the 2024 GOP nominee

I've been thinking about some of the Republican responses to the E. Jean Carroll verdict (i.e. Rubio calling it all a "joke") and this point I made in an interview a few years ago. What else can they say? Admit they've been wrong for years?

This is true for me right now, too.
If I search for "cat" on Twitter, I get "cat in a blender full video." If I search for "dog" I get "dog getting stabbed" or "dog screwdriver full video" as the first suggestions.
Clicking through leads to animal torture videos.

Curious, if what happened to E Jean Carroll happened to someone you love and they told you about it, ifyou would look them in the eyes and tell them "it's a joke."

Sen. Kevin Cramer: "Not a disqualifier."

Nikki Haley won't comment on Trump sexual battery verdict.
"That’s something for Trump to respond to," she told Hugh Hewitt. "I think the focus has to be not to be distracted. That’s why we’ve got to leave the baggage and the negativity behind...it’s not my case. It’s his case."

So Alabama's really going to vote on whether a pregnant person should go to jail for murder if they don't produce a live birth.

But hey! The pregnant person can't be prosecuted over miscarriage due to physical or sexual assault from a partner. Generous.

A question that should be getting asked a lot more, imo, is how much of the disinflation of the past year is attributable to the Fed's rate hikes. Personally, I think a reasonable range of estimates would include zero.

Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will be voting on a bill (HR2) that, as currently written, would eliminate humanitarian parole.
If this were to pass the Senate and be signed by the President it would mean no reparole for Afghans awaiting their American dream.
