What's scarier is that I truly believe Trump ADMIRES Putin, a cold-blooded murderer and dictator, who has made himself fantastically wealthy while suppressing his people and assassinating his opponents.

Trump has no idea how he's being manipulated. Putin is laughing, as he continues to pound civilian centers in Ukraine, a country he invaded, while "the peacemaker" and aspiring Nobel Prize winner sits on his hands and coos about their warm friendship!.

Trump: “I maintained a very good relationship with Putin. You saw that when he got off his plane, I got off my plane, there's a warmth there that you can’t—There's a decent feeling”.

.@JDVance reacted to the latest, horrific school shooting in typical fashion, blaming it entirely on the mental health crisis, not the uniquely easy access in the U.S. to deadly weapons. Meanwhile, the admin has revoked billions in mental health grants.

Somehow @realDonaldTrump has gone from being the president who helped make life-saving COVID vaccines available to all Americans to the president who is telling large number of Americans they can't have them.

With all the other tumult going on, the chaos at the CDC and Kennnedy's maniacal war on proven science and essential vaccines may have as far-reaching and tragic implications as anything the @POTUS is doing.

This is the crux of the problem. He reallly BELIEVES he has limitless powers. And the Congress is dangerously abetting this delusion.

"We need people who are 100% above board.".The @POTUS explains why he has summarily dismissed a Fed board governor, based on unproven allegations. His explanation for why he would attempt this apparently illegal maneuver is far from "above board.".He wants to take over the Fed.

Last year, Trump said he "hated" @taylorswift13. He said she was no longer "hot.".Today, he called her a "lovely person.".Looks like SOMEBODY's looking for a big opening act for the new Trump-Kennedy Center!.

Sir, we are so incredibly lucky to have a president who's willing--even eager-- to spend his valuable time with us so that we can present these over-the-top, fawning tributes to you with all these cameras rolling. (Now, where do we go to we get our cellphones and dignity back?).

During the Great Recession in '09, when @BarackObama stepped in and the government took a stake in GM and Chrysler to save them from collapse, the @GOP howled "socialism!".Trump now demands Intel give the government a 10% stake in their company, and what does the GOP say?.

The @chicagosky tonight honored the great @Candace_Parker--the pride of Naperville, who brought a championship home to Chicago--by hoisting her # 3 to the rafters at the Wintrust Arena. Her speech was one of the finest & most moving I've ever heard at one of these events.

"Abe Lincoln, whose top hat and rifles are in the Smithsonian, urged Americans to move past the Civil War “with malice toward none, with charity for all.” Trump has malice for all, charity toward none."
