The fact that Trump threw a mild fit in response to an appeals court ruling on his ballroom was predictable. What was notable, however, is his eagerness to rebrand the ballroom as the White House “military center.” www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Following appeals court loss, Trump tries to rebrand his ballroom as a ‘military center’The president seems to think rebranding his controversial vanity project could help make it happen. He’s likely to be disappointed.www.ms.now

Trump said this week that Americans have “the greatest economy maybe in the history of the world.” The new job numbers show just how bonkers his happy-talk is. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Confronted with an obvious need for renewable energy, Trump admin officials used taxpayer money to scuttle an offshore wind project. Then they did it again. And again. And again. And this week, again. Total price tag in wasted taxpayer money: ~$4 billion and counting www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Team Trump uses taxpayer money to scuttle yet another renewable energy projectAs one key Democratic member of Congress summarized, “It is hard to imagine a more backwards use of taxpayer money.”www.ms.now

they have terminally limited vision of what to build, much less how to govern. Influencing is not how you tend to a complex system. A TV show is not how you keep 350M from the threat of explosive diarrhea and worse. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Clarence Thomas will be 80 years old at the end of Trump's term, and Samuel Alito will be 78. The choice in EVERY Senate race in November is between a Democrat who will deny Trump more SCOTUS nominees and a Republican who will rubber-stamp them.

For all of Trump’s chest-thumping about the potency of his endorsements, especially in GOP primaries, three Trump-backed Republicans have lost in the last two months. The Amir Hassan example in Michigan, however, is clearly the most embarrassing. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Trump-endorsed candidate loses congressional primary to a rival who had quit the raceFor the third time in two months, Republican primary voters simply ignored the president’s advice, despite weird boasts about his intraparty powers.www.ms.now

Tired of seeing voters go around them, Republican legislators in Missouri pushed a proposal to curtail citizen-initiated ballot measures, and asked voters to pass it. The gambit failed — by 60 points. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

In statewide ballot measures, Republican plans fall far short on multiple key issuesIt’s not just candidates that the GOP has to worry about this year: The party is also suffering setbacks on closely watched ballot measures.www.ms.now

Trump’s personal economy may be “thriving,” thanks to $2B in ill-gotten gains since returning to office, but Americans are not. Republicans have every reason to fear they will pay a political price for this rotten economic record, unmitigated corruption, misguided priorities, and gross incompetence.

Trump’s offensive against Pirro isn’t just about one prosecutor or one case. He’s taking this opportunity to remind prosecutors to think less like U.S. attorneys concerned with jurisprudential propriety and more like partisan operatives concerned with his wishes. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

‘She choked’: Trump rages against Pirro, but she’s not the only targetThe president apparently wants Pirro to think less like a U.S. attorney concerned with propriety and more like an unflinching loyalist.www.ms.now

They won’t regret. They are moral cowards

Fool. Coward

Time will tell whether Jeanine Pirro’s tenure as US Attorney in DC is poised to end, but in the meantime, it’s worth appreciating her recent record: Pirro’s losing streak in big cases sure is embarrassing. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Jeanine Pirro’s reversal in Reflecting Pool case adds to her embarrassing losing streakThe former Fox News host has lost so many important cases, with such regularity, that it’s been challenging to keep up.www.ms.now

Trump Media’s idea was so plainly ridiculous — selling special access to his tweets to Wall Street for $100k per month — that it seemed hard to believe the plan would ever be implemented. And yet, as of now, it’s live. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Democrats eye investigations as Trump Media starts selling access to president’s posts“Truth API is the exact definition of insider trading,” Chuck Schumer explained. “It’s textbook pay to play.”www.ms.now

They absolutely *can* throw out any “deal” Trump made and go after him with the full force of the law. The question is: will they? It is very important that the Democrats nominate someone focused on prosecuting every single crime (not someone who wants to “turn the page & focus on the future”)

AYFKM: "Trump has been considering strikes akin to a 'fireworks' display... which could hit either the same or similar sites... in the hopes of a symbolic victory that would allow him to exit the war without actually accomplishing one of his initial aims: ridding Iran of its nuclear program."
