Another s*show from Trump today as he flung verbal feces around a NY courtroom. It was all about playing to the press and the base. It has ever been thus with this "nepo" baby. So boring.
Imagine an episode of the Twilight Zone in which a disturbed child inhabits a politician’s body in order to foment violence — shoplifters should be shot — and grown-ups cheer him. Nah. Never woulda happened. Too implausible.
Adam Kinzinger (with a bit 'o help from me) has a new Substack that brings some sanity, insider perspective and humor to even the ghastlier aspects of our politics. Check it out at adamkinzinger.substack.com/ PS And look for the book Renegade coming soon!
Trump has lied about his net worth for decades. (I was among many he showed false docs.) He even testified under oath that his mood is worth billions. Best line in Judge Engeron's finding of fraud is his note that Trump's claims come from "a fantasy world, not the real world."

@RepKinzinger: “Standby for what we’re going to present in June…we’re going to put in front of the American people everything we know. And the DOJ will be able to see that and make decisions.”

From faux outrage and conspiracy theories about pedophilia to craziness about trans people and reviving old homophobia, the GOP imagines problems while ignoring its own real ones. slate.com/news-and-politics/…
US withheld Patriot air defense system from Ukraine citing length of training time. With Gen Milley suggesting war could drag on & on, it’s time to start training them. Anti-ship missiles, ammo, all that can be done to confront the genocide must be done.

The @January6thCmte needs to hear directly from Dan Scavino about his and President Trump’s role in inciting violence on January 6th. He has highly important information but has chosen to stiff-arm the American people and hide the truth. It's unlawful and inexcusable.

For years Putin has used energy as a weapon to coerce, manipulate, and create conflict among European governments. Proud to see our friends in Lithuania take this important step and firmly push back on Russia’s energy stranglehold. abcnews.go.com/Business/wire…

Note that Naftali sees ways US can be more helpful to Ukraine with a humanitarian air lift. Putin wouldn’t dare shoot unarmed aircraft and the world would further aid Kyiv and frustrate Putin
Presidential historian and brilliant writer Tim Naftali explains why, historically, US has been hemmed in by Kremlin aggression and how to break the cycle now. A must read! foreignaffairs.com/articles/…
