The biggest story in America is a president who has completely lost touch with reality. Who thinks the FBI let all the January 6 rioters into the Capitol, that he really won the 2020 election, that the Iran War is going well. Who, when occasionally confronted w reality, panics.
There were multiple votes last night to make the $1.8 billion cop beater fund illegal and Republicans blocked every single one, paving the way for Trump to resuscitate his slush fund.
I'm demanding information from ICE on what happened in Danbury today. Contrary to their statement, ICE is not targeting criminals - they are targeting peaceful, law abiding immigrants. In Connecticut and everywhere else. They are a lawless agency.
This war has been humiliating for Trump and American power generally. And when Trump announces he is going to call Netanyahu and tell him not to retaliate, and within hours Netanyahu retaliates, the humiliation just compounds.
This is true and I’m glad he said it. But our economy has become valueless. It teaches us that a “good” company is one that abuses its workers and makes poisonous products - as long as it makes a huge profit. It’s hard to build a moral nation without a moral capitalism.
Increasingly our culture and economy have become void of virtue. Profit obsession robs work of dignity. Consumerism replaces citizenship. Corruption becomes normal. That’s why I wrote Crisis of the Common Good - to explain that the solution is bigger than just beating Trump.
Gas prices are $6 a gallon and going up because Trump is bored and doesn’t want to do the work to end the war.
That’s the actual truth.
Good morning. This is your daily reminder that the President has lost total control of the Iran War and thus has lost interest. He now only obsesses over his ballroom and schemes to profit off the presidency while gas and grocery prices soar.
It's hard to fathom how deeply evil this is, and that we have people running our country who get sick pleasure from sending women fleeing violence in Iran to an African country in the middle of a brutal civil war.
The heart of our constitutional crisis in one exchange between me and Sec. Mullin. When asked a simple question - if he will obey court orders - he says he will not because some court orders are "politicized".
That's not how democracy works. And that's why we are in a crisis.
