Trump's approval ratings have crashed to 37% - that magical Sarah Palin floor where only the most delusional true believers remain loyal. What do chemical bonds and political loyalties have in common, and why are some Trump voters starting to break away while his hardcore base would happily be entombed with him in the afterlife? Looking back 20 years to Bush's catastrophic second term, we trace the eerily similar trajectory from election victory to underwater approval ratings.

Your favorite shrinks, John Gartner and Harry Segal, present “this week” in Trump's cognitive decline, as well as an extended excerpt of Pritzker's heroic speech pushing back on federal threats to Chicago. While describing this moment in history, the two psychologists offer support and ways to cope with the anxiety Trump's chaos generates for all of us. Be sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts: Our site Subscribe on iTunes Subscribe on Spotify Subscribe on Amazon Music Subscribe on iHeartRadio When we revisit Trump's rallies and interviews this week, it feels less like campaign drama and more like a national group therapy session. Gartner and Segal track every rambling detour, abrupt topic shift, and glaring contradiction—not as mere gaffes, but as warning signals that someone at the helm may be losing his cognitive bearings. Every photo-op, from overseas summits to tense showdowns on U.S. streets, has started to resemble a rehearsal for power consolidation. Flashing military muscle instead of engaging in normal governance isn't strength; it's intimidation. Watching constitutional safeguards brushed aside as mere inconveniences ought to jolt us awake to the creeping authoritarian impulse. Amid that growing unease, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker stood up like a lighthouse in a storm. Invoking the Constitution, he called out federal threats to deploy the National Guard in Chicago and reminded everyone that local authority can't be bulldozed for political spectacle. While Trump's allies cheered each flex of force, Pritzker's words made clear that true leadership sometimes means speaking truth to power at the risk of losing applause. Gartner and Segal refuse to leave us adrift in anxiety. They argue that naming these mind games—the gaslighting, the fear-mongering—is our first line of defense. Checking facts in real time, fostering honest conversations with friends, and carving out simple daily rituals can help us stay grounded when the political airwaves feel like a hurricane. Listening to Shrinking Trump isn't just an exercise in critique; it's an invitation to reclaim our narrative. When we spot the cracks in Trump's rhetoric and recognize his power plays for what they are, we protect not only our sanity but the democratic foundations we hold dear.

David Waldman pines for the Virginia fjords around this time of year and can only deny his wanderlust two more hours before this three-day weekend.  Generalissimo Donald K. Trump will keep hosting military parades until everyone salutes. The Navy version should have better floats of course and will feature dancing Sea Cadets, escorting the beautiful new giant Ashli Babbitt balloon, along with musical guest Gloria Gaynor riding on the Robert E. Lee memorial float, brought to you by that “King of Beers”, Pete Hegseth. ICEISIS are icing themselves out. You can now spot them by looking for the “47” tattoo next to their “88”. You knew that with the Trump administration it'd be only a matter of time before there would be a Federal Boob Inspector. Speaking of Tatas, Anthony Tata, retired brigadier general, practicing racist Islamophobe, and acting Pentagon lacky, has been connected in a few ways to the internet's most notorious astrologer, Amy Tripp. If New Jersey got rid of Alina Habba when they should have, they wouldn't be in the trouble that they are in today. Trump cancels Kamala Harris' Secret Service detail as he'd hate to see anyone live longer than him. Greenland is all bothered just because the US is looking into toppling their government. Trump says, Relax guy! You should see what we have planned for Alaska! Gop Mark Alford goes to town halls to lie, thinking that his constituents understood that. Lies are bad for science, etc. so scientists etc. are moving to Blue Sky.

The polls have closed and results are trickling in for the Samoan General Election which has been described as one of the most unpredictable elections in history. This election race was originally scheduled for April next year but brought forward after a split in the ruling FAST party. It led to months of political instability that ended with Prime Minister Fiame Naomi Mata'afa's minority government being unable to pass its 2025 Budget. NZ Pacific correspondent Grace Tinetali-Fiava'a speaks to Mihingarangi Forbes from Apia.

We wanted to know how you feel about the Huskers performance and potentially playing more football in Arrowhead.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they note Americans overwhelmingly see a crime problem in the U.S. and a majority likes how Trump is dealing with it. They also wince as Trump welcomes 600,000 Chinese college students into the U.S., and roll their eyes at the left's absurd "land acknowledgements."First, they're glad to see that 81 percent of Americans have the common sense to see that crime is a major problem. That includes 68 percent of Democrats. In addition, 53 percent of Americans approve of how President Trump is dealing with crime. This makes the Democrats' assertions that there really isn't a crime problem in our major cities look utterly ridiculous.Next, they cringe as President Trump says he is perfectly fine allowing 600,000 Chinese students study at American colleges and universities this year. Jim and Greg fume about the American students who suffer a result, and they point out what the Chinese government expects from their students when returning from the U.S.Finally, they shake their heads as the DNC national meeting kicked off with a "land acknowledgement," where someone explains which tribal nation had the land before European settlers allegedly took it from them. It's shameless virtue signaling, but is it backfiring for Democrats and could this practice ever have much more serious implications?Please visit our great sponsors:Upgrade your skincare routine with Caldera Lab and see the difference.  Visithttps://CalderaLab.com/3ML and use code 3ML at checkout for 20% off your first order.Feel the difference of an extraordinary night's sleep with Boll & Branch—get 15% off plus free shipping on your first set of sheets at https://www.BollandBranch.com/THREEMARTINI (exclusions apply).

Two years after introducing listeners to Healing Politics, with Episode 95: Nursing is Political, Kimberly Gordon, DNP, CRNA, returns along with co-founder Lisa Summers, BSN, MSN, DrPH, with sobering research and renewed urgency about nurses' political participation.   When more nurses are civically engaged, communities are healthier. Why? Because legislative decisions shape everything from healthcare access to public health funding, and nurses' holistic, community-based perspective gives them a unique view into both the problems people face and the solutions needed to address them. Research shows that nurse legislators consistently outperform their peers in crafting evidence-based healthcare policy, achieving bipartisan collaboration, and delivering measurable health outcomes for their constituents (ScienceDirect).  Yet without more nurses in elected office, these critical insights rarely reach the legislative process.  In this episode, Gordon and Summers share how Healing Politics has evolved since launching the first campaign school designed specifically for nurses and midwives. Beyond preparing candidates to run for office, their mission has expanded to strengthen civic engagement through partnerships with VoteER, Fair Vote, and Power to the Polls. Together, this bipartisan duo reflects on the vital distinction between politics and policy, and unveil their new state-based liaison strategy designed to scale their impact and increase nurse representation at every level of government.  Because when nurses step into the halls of power, they don't just change policy, they change lives. 

William J. Federer is a nationally known speaker, historian, author, and president of Amerisearch, Inc. He is the speaker on "The American Minute" daily broadcast. Polls seem to show that Gen "Z" voters (age 18-29) are drawn to socialism and therefore it's this demographic that appears to be the source for the current popularity of candidates like Zohran Mamdani who is a New York State Assembly member running for mayor of New York. What's behind this appeal for socialism? William explained that there's two ways for people to give up their freedom: fear and free stuff. After WWII and the cold war, the communists couldn't defeat America from the outside so they tried doing it from the inside. It's the idea of making everyone dependent. He used the example of wild pigs. You put a post in the ground and throw some corn down. The pigs come and eat the corn and ignore the post. You keep adding posts and throwing down more and more corn. Eventually all you'll have left is a small opening for the pigs to enter the circle. The pigs will still squeeze their way in. Eventually, you shut the gate behind them and you've caught yourself some wild pigs. In other words, you've trapped them by dependency. Drug dealers use a similar approach in order to take over a neighborhood. They can cause fear by use of guns or they can be so nice that for a time they give away free drugs. They may do this until you are hooked at which point you are dependent upon the dealer as the source to supply your addiction. These examples are known as the Cloward-Piven Strategy, named after Richard Cloward and Frances Piven who were professors at Columbia University.

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin regroup here at the top of the week and help work out our next move. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce got engaged on my birthday, thus making that date easier for everyone to remember. Pseudo-president Trump is crypto-president from now on. In happy news for crackers, the cracker barrel returns to Cracker Barrel. Could a one-week feint towards a clipart logo be a publicity stunt to replace their dying customer base with MAGA hardcore? If so, expect Red Lobster's rebrand as “Red State”. Cops: DC is really cleaning up the town as the interdepartmental queue forms behind each potential jaywalking bust. Anyhow, it's all the arresting that counts, not the crime. Maybe a nice train station to play with will keep them busy. OK, Doomer. ICEISIS may feel like it's around every corner (because that's the intent) but that doesn't mean that you have to give up. Democrats lead the U.S. House generic by 8 points, and in real-life very-red Iowa, Catelin Drey won by 11, in a district Trump carried by 11. It happened there, and it should be happening everywhere. The US might be involved with attempting to destabilize a sovereign democracy! Shocking, right? Greenland might be asking for it, but that doesn't mean it's giving Donald consent to grab it by the windfarms. European postal services are holding your mail. You'll need to stop by and pick it up. Delulu DOGE dropped skibidi Social Security numbers… AnD fanum tax bro! Kilmar Abrego Garcia has a decision to make. Either Trump's penis is tiny, and Kilmar goes to Uganda, or it is not tiny, and he goes to Costa Rica. All of the federal judges in Maryland avoid rendering a verdict on Trump's tiny penis… for now.

Happy birthday to me!  And to David Waldman, yesterday. Remember, it's never too late to send belated birthday greetings or cash! Donald K. Trump, in a move so indefensible that the New York Times can barely defend it, is “firing” Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, which of course Trump “shouldn't”, in fact, "can't" do, for something that he himself has done time and time again… Lisa Cook will fight back, although a public statement on her part regarding Donald's not-tiny penis would clear her today. Satire has become standard diplomatic art of the deal nowadays. Kilmar Ábrego García unfortunately has found himself the measure of Trump's manhood… and just as likely to disappear. Speaking of shrinkage, If Alina Habba's appointment is held illegal, a lot more could be. Fulton County Georgia commissioners are standing against tyranny and aren't yet in Uganda, and every federal judge in Maryland now can sleep easier tonight.

David Waldman is older than he used to be! By an entire year somehow! Congratulations! Also… Armando!  Greg Dworkin is completely different of course, and so is his Raft O' Stories™, although they could all be a distraction from the real story. The Zohran Mamdanimentum keeps growing, because it's fun and Zohran is having fun and New Yorkers are a fun-loving bunch. Similarly, Gavin Newsomentum is building, even though there are Dems out there whose anxiety builds when they see too much fun going on and would like to remind you here in August 2025 that you don't “have to” vote for Gavin in November 2028 if you don't want to. Expect Trump to drop the word “CUCK” into his posts soon in order to get ahead of Newsom comparisons. Or Trump could just have Gavin arrested. Time for some legal problems for Chris Christie. Time for some legal problems for every federal judge in Maryland. Gorsuch and Kavanaugh note that none of these people are either of them. Kilmar Abrego Garcia could inspire this administration to reinstitute crucifixion. Let's pour one out for two Fulton County Dems, Dana Barrett and Mo Ivory, protectors of democracy and presently unincarcerated. Trump will obviously send troops into Chicago. Not because he needs to, but because he wants to. Cheating is so fun that it might not matter if it actually works. Soon we will all have something to cry about. US consumers with prime credit are starting to fall behind in their payments. Millions are being pushed off of Medicaid and Obamacare, no matter what they are being told now. And COVID isn't going away, but the vaccine is. Years of effort have finally paid off. Nancy Mace has finally worn out her welcome.

David Waldman delivers us to Friday, where long reads and in-depth analysis are intended to be the order of the day… But first we need to address this whole Cracker Barrel thing. You'd think that a Cracker Barrel logo change would only upset some crackers, but it turns out to be a big money-losing deal. Or perhaps it was losing big money that led to the logo change. Maybe it was their peg game. Maybe it was the racism. Maybe it was the sexual harassment, the salmonella, and the racism. Cracker Barrel will need a really good logo to get out of this one, or a high White House loyalty rating. Otherwise, it will end up on the ash heap of history with the Smithsonian. Bad Boys, Bad Boys, whacha gonna do? Donald K. Trump guest stars on Cops: DC while across town the FBI raids John Bolton's home and office. Fannie Mae's Pulte/Palantir crime detection unit is powered by AI, DOGE and spite. A federal judge found that Alina Habba is unlawfully serving as US attorney for New Jersey before Alina was even halfway to the “Mar-a-Lago” in her Botox treatments. Ironically, all lawyers now become busier. A New York appeals court gives Trump a lift in his goal of appealing his way to the grave.  Donald TACOs out of his vengeance upon flag burners and voters but will stick with Tina Peters until the bitter end as long as it's profitable.

Texas has fired the first shots of the redistricting war of 2025, so Henry's back with a rant for all who are still a tad confused, either by the controversy as it stands and/or where it's headed now that other states are drafting their own battle plans. Tune in for a detailed analysis of various […]

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin bring us the latest in news and opinion. By the way… Jeffrey Epstein! At least James Dobson is dead. Gavin C. Newsom (Gorgeous) has been hand selected (Some say RIGGED) by God to return AMERICA's democracy and Democracy to the “USA”. Of course, in 2028, Gavin's policy stands and personal aptitude for the presidency will be of utmost… Hello? You do remember 2015, right?  As do the people behind the Gavin Newsom Press Office, Camile Zapata and Izzy Gardon. That's the long game. The short game sees the majority of Democrats backing California's counter-gerrymandering of Texas as a good thing. California's Supreme Court is stepping out of the way. So, what is Donald K. Trump really up to in Washington? Nothing, as usual, and no good, as usual. Who to better represent Trump than the three most hated stooges in American history, Stephen Miller, Pete Hegseth and JD Vance? DC's criminals better watch out, the new gang means business. Elise Stefanik knows that she's hated by most of her constituents, Democrat and Republican, but she will never rest until she earns the antipathy of each person in her district. The Freedom Caucus is heading into various sunsets in the next couple of years. Fannie Mae chair Bill Pulte is weaponizing Palantir-DOGE hacked Fannie Mae computers against any Democrat with two houses. (probably) Walmart is now offering a high price guarantee, while jobs slowly head for the cliff.  No one does not see the crash coming. Trump wants the Fed to let him squeeze out the last bit before it all ends. No matter how you slice it, Mamdanimentum rolls through NYC. Next week: Jeffrey Epstein!

David Waldman returns to Wednesday and finds Greg Dworkin there waiting for him. Greg knows Pi to five decimal places, so why don't we elect him? Not enough people like Democrats, but enough do for them to beat Republicans. Donald K. Trump is helping pull down Gops in every way imaginable, in almost every place imaginable. Frank Serpico hopes to see a Zohran Mandani movie someday. The Mamdanimentum seems unstoppable. Elise Stefanik seems stoppable.  Trump's no angel… yet... but the mainstream media would rather we all went to hell. Trump estimates that the US is the only country that uses mail-in voting. He figures that if his buddy Bibi is a war hero, he must be too.  Of course, his buddy Vlad is a war criminal…  If the National Guard can open carry in DC, Jeanine Pirro will allow regular citizens to carry shotguns and rifles as long as they carry them patriotically. A police officer in Maine could tell that he's not Jeanine's type. ICE denied a parking spot cooled off by kicking some Latinos. Dan Bongino is assigned a babysitter, while it takes a village for Pete Hegseth.

What if the biggest threat to Christian values in America isn't hostile politicians—but Christians who refuse to vote? Bunni Pounds drops a bombshell statistic that will shake you: Christians are registering and voting at exactly the same rates as the general population. That means roughly half of Bible-believing Americans are voluntarily sitting out the very process that determines who governs their communities. While faithful Christians stay home on election day, secular activists are showing up in droves to elect school board members who push gender ideology, city council members who restrict religious freedom, and county officials who shut down churches. We're literally handing over our nation to people whose worldview is diametrically opposed to Scripture—and then wondering why our culture is falling apart. Bunni's journey from homeschool mom to political consultant to mobilizing nearly a million Christians reveals the stunning power of engaged believers and the devastating consequences of Christian apathy.   Resources: https://www.bunnipounds.com/   https://christiansengaged.org/   https://www.americareadsthebible.com/   This episode of Refining Rhetoric is sponsored by Grand Canyon University and Classical Conversations Plus Undergraduate Program: Is your homeschooler ready for what's next?

Donald Trump seems to move from one unpopular catastrophe to another. With people still in the streets protesting his military take-over of Washington, D.C., his disgraceful capitulation to Putin in Alaska prompted even deeper disapproval, with a new Pew poll showing his numbers steadily worsening. Meanwhile, in Texas, state Democrats have returned, enabling Republicans to restart their gerrymandering effort, another facet in Trump's effort to manipulate the upcoming midterms to preserve his hold on power.BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/maddowblog.msnbc.comhttps://bsky.app/profile/maddow.msnbc.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/maddowshow/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@maddowshow 

   A week ago, I shared with you that I had information about the Royals and Chiefs plans for new ballparks but couldn't confirm it with the proper source.  So I shared the information with our Patrons at KKHI who were blown away.  Now, the President of the Kansas Senate has stated it publicly.  Officials in Topeka and Jeff City believe both teams are heading to Kansas.    The Royals are rolling... we'll talk about the path to the playoffs as they seem to have a bounce in their step.    KSU and ISU meet Saturday in Dublin for Farm 'O' Geddon and for K-State, it's all business.  There will be no sight seeing... just a practice or two, a game and a flight home.    Missouri AG Andrew Bailey has resigned to work as Co-Deputy Director of the FBI, the same title as Dan Bongino.  So what's going on here?    DC police have put out some crime stats that will surprise nobody as Trump seems to have cleaned the place up in a week.    Meanwhile, the president has incredible poll numbers.  Especially compared to Democrats.    And our favorite adoption people, www.pawsitivetailskc.org celebrate a milestone and we'd be thrilled if you adopted a pet or made a donation to help them.

Tuesday! David Waldman! KITM! Can you imagine anything more condescending or patronizing than telling a world leader that today his suit is more acceptable to you?  Maybe not you, but you aren't Donald K. Trump. Yesterday, in between the times that Trump was waiting for European dignitaries to quit talking about him, he managed to work in something nasty for each person in the room. When he ran out of insults, he just left them there to call up BFF Vlad Putin and talk behind their back. Donald did learn a few things from the meeting, of course not the things people wanted him to. Gops used to support mail-in voting, back when they thought they had to support voting.  Trump wants 14-year-olds arrested. Married. Pregnant. Trump wants 14-year-olds… The Feds are taking control of everything in DC. They have no plans to give anything back. Many judges openly doubt this administration. Somehow, those judges aren't the ones being assigned to his cases. A large houseplant has been taken from the White House, unfortunately it is not Trump. Former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan says he likes ethics and decency, hears that Democrats might vote for that stuff.

As today's KITM plays in a box in the corner of the screen, David Waldman watches and comments. This, in turn, plays in the corner of the screen that Greg Dworkin watches and comments upon, and they are in the corner of the screen that I watch and comment upon. Here's where you come in. Greg dredges up another Raft O' Stories™ out of the x-sewers. Good news! Through the alchemy of Blue Sky, I have magically changed each of those posts into gold. More good news! Donald K. Trump did not sell Alaska to Vlad! Well, he might have given it away to him, or just left the deed somewhere, but the whole point of this yak-fest was a strategy session to take on the leader of the free world and fashion king, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Their strategy seems to be bringing JD “Just Dance” Vance as his “muscle”. At this moment Trump is selling Zelensky on switching Ukraine to high-flush toilets. Meanwhile, members of ICE ISIS roam the streets of our capitol, pretty much finding criminals around every corner. Restaurants only wish they could find some of those liberated customers, who, along with students, are now sheltering-in-place. The US might still look like a good place to, say, Gazans, but not if Laura Loomer has anything to say about it. Pity Kristi Noem! Now she can't take off work early to lay that married sexual assaulter Corey Lewandowski in her free house confiscated from a political enemy without everybody being up in her business. Department of Justice Special Attorney Ed Martin personifies the weaponization of Federal government by dressing as McGruff the Crime Dog and lurking outside the home of New York Attorney General Letitia James. MS NOW! You got to hope Gloria Steinem sues. Rogan just figured out what everyone else knew about.. anything, really. Does this mean that the national pendulum is swinging back to smart from dumb? Probably not, but more of them could be voting Democratic.

Send us a textThere are extremist groups in Israel that trace their origins to Rabbi Meir Kahane.  Today they control the balance of power in the Israeli cabinet.  Ben-Gvir and Smotrich are the most prominent personalities.   Both are extremely violent and are determined to complete the  conquest of what they see as their homeland.  And the removal of what they see as alien populations.  Smotrich just announced that there will be 3,400 housing units in the E-1 bloc, the last remaining empty space in the zone surrounding Jerusalem.  As he said, correctly, this will mean the end of the idea of a Palestinian state.   Kahane was born in Brooklyn but moved to Israel and was elected to the Knesset.  Polls showed him increasing to four seats in the coming election.  But he was assassinated during a fund-raiser rally in New York.   I heard Kahane speak twice in the Detroit area in the early 1980s.  I also read two of his books, Time to Go Home and They Must Go!  They were chilling  I also read quite a few essays by him.  Kahane believed that the Palestinians must be kicked out, and that the American Jews must flee before the American Holocaust starts.  It is not a matter of if, but when, that occurs.  He said that the only reason for a Jew to be in America was to help other Jews to leave.  It is no surprise that those two things -- remove the Palestinians, replace them with Jews -- were linked.  Kahane believed that anything is justified to bring the new age and to save the Jews.  I thought of the accusations by radical Iraqi Jews that the 1952 bombings of synagogues were done by Zionist commandos in an effort to panic Iraqi Jews to flee  to Israel.  I have no way to know if those accusations are correct but such a thing would surely be justified by Kahane.  He was filled with hatred of Arabs, Americans and secular Jews.  He believed in his cause and would do anything to achieve it.  He had a definite support base in the American Jewish community, although certainly not nearly as great as those who were hostile to him.  I don't want to be inflammatory but I wrote in my notes back in the 1980s that I felt I was in a Munich beer hall in 1924 listening to Hitler polish up a speech.  I have never heard anyone quite like him. And today his followers are prominent members of the Israeli cabinet.

Former Houston councilwoman, Amanda Edwards sounds alarm on Trump's redistricting power grab.

Darrell Castle talks about the face-to-face meeting being conducted today between President Trump and Russian Premier Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska. He will discuss which player has the most at risk and the most to lose from this meeting. Results aren't known yet, but its promise is something to discuss. Transcription / Notes THE PEACE PRESIDENT RETURNS—MAYBE Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 15th day of August in the year of our Lord 2025. I will be talking about the face-to-face meeting being conducted today between President Trump and Russian Premier Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska. Which player has the most at risk and the most to lose from this meeting. We don't know the results of the meeting yet but its promise is something to discuss. Why have this meeting in Alaska and not in some European Capitol. Who knows for sure but a reasonable guess would be that Putin is under sanctions that make it very difficult for him to travel in Europe and after all, Russia and Alaska go way back. I won't go back any further than the 1860's when both nations were involved in very disastrous wars with very different results. The U.S. Civil War resulted in a Union victory but cost many lives and split the country for over 100 years. Russia was involved in a war in Crimea against England and France which it lost and which also had catastrophic loss of life and completely depleted the Russian treasury. Czar Alexander ll was desperate for cash and in 1867 he negotiated a deal with the U.S. to sell the Americans Alaska for $7.1 million. That seems like a bargain for the U.S. and it was but remember that was about 165 years ago when $7.1 million was real money. This week, in contrast, the U.S. passed $37 trillion in debt and is now dangerously close to $1 trillion per year in interest payments. What about today, why Alaska. For one thing Anchorage lies 4,350 miles from Moscow and 3,400 miles from Washington so it is a comparable trip for both. It was hastily arranged and we are told that the meeting last week between Mr. Putin and Trump's negotiator, Steve Witkoff, brought a request from Mr. Putin for a face-to-face with President Trump which was quickly agreed to. Vice President Vance told us that Mr. Zelensky will not be in attendance because his presence would not be productive. I don't blame the U.S. side for that and I would not have invited him either. This is a war between the U.S. and Russia and everybody seems to know that except Mr. Zelensky. His country has provided the bodies for the proxy grist mill but it is a U.S. war. My hope and my prayer are that Trump will continue his quest for the Noble Peace Prize but in regard to Mr. Zelensky, after 45 years as a lawyer and after countless mediations I have learned that more is usually accomplished if the two competing sides are kept separate with the impartial mediator going back and forth. Ukraine and Gaza are two blights on Trump's Nobel Peace Prize resume at this point but this is a chance to resolve one of them, and it is right in his hands today. The Europeans have basically already rejected the deal even though they don't know what it is yet. If he makes a deal with Putin and the Europeans reject it if I were him I would just say O.K. since you prefer war to peace you pay for it because there will be no more American weapons and no more American money poured down this rat hole. Polls show that 70% of Ukrainians want to end the war right now. Zelensky may want to fight to the last Ukrainian and last U.S. dollar but his people don't.  Let's take a quick look at Trump's peace resume thus far. I argue that in many ways he is the most anti-war President in recent history. In his first term he brokered the Abraham Accords that normalized relations between Israel and four Arab nations, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco. The agreement ended hostility that had existed since Israel's found...

A decade has passed since Donald Trump rode down the golden escalator to initiate a movement to make America great again, but conflicts within the coalition emerge like clockwork, proving that a definitive interpretation remains elusive. Is MAGA simply the net effect of Donald Trump's musings and maneuvers? Or is there a core ideology that […]

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin are together again, one more time until we're all seeing Russia from our house. Donald K. Trump always wants a crisis, which is the only manufacturing job booming in the US, thanks to pansies like Tim Burchett, hiding in his DC office because his Tennessee office would be too dadgum dangerous, brother.  Spirit Halloween costume come to life, Markwayne Mullin, needs to really hydrate to pee his pants so constantly. (Speaking of shitty neighborhoods, get out of ExTwitter, and follow the Editorial Board on Blue Sky. They have the exact same posts, but they smell better.) Remember kids, when throwing a sandwich has the same penalty as throwing a brick, don't waste your food! Trump's choice to run the Bureau of Labor Statistics might look like he ties women to railroad tracks, but the White House swears he wasn't a January 6th terrorist… not that there's anything wrong with that. But, now we're WINNING! At this moment. Famine or feast now might be irrelevant at election. Short-term thinking is destroying America and playing into Trump's tiny hands, according to these headlines, I mean, tldr! Trump would not have to be a dictator if you'd just do what you're told. Maybe he'll run for re-election in 2026 if he's feeling cute. Some Gops want to wait for a little more totalitarianism before they redistrict. Dems would redistrict, but feel uncomfortable winning that much. What do the polls say? Whatever you want them to… mostly what Trump wants them to. (Ron Brownstein would be on Blue Sky, but you playin'.) Whoever wins Civil War II, moderates should be the first ones up against the wall.

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin take us over the wacko Wednesday hump. Winning! That will be the only conclusion you'll ever be able to draw about the US, from any US source from now on. Everything that the government says henceforth will be consistently useless for every citizen. Stats, science, history, and art will first pass through Donald K. Trump, and those who don't come back for seconds will regret it. (Speaking of crap, don't go to that site. Ron Brownstein, Bruce Bartlett, and of course, Justin Wolfers are on Blue Sky. Heck, you can watch Justin Wolfers on MSNBC, on somebody else's TV, on bsky.app!  Trump wants to know students' race to make certain that the wrong ones don't get extra. The NIH will pivot away from mRNA vaccines, not because they don't work, but because of vibes. Their vibes. CDC projects and careers are shot down as bullets come through their windows. Skateboarders beware! A military presence in Washington DC won't stop murders, car jackings or arson on any block where they aren't standing, and the bubble boys will still be afraid to come out, but DC did vote for Kamala, therefore a bronze likeness of Big Balls will need to be placed at the base of the Washington Monument. Political polls (BTW, follow Political Polls on Blue Sky) indicate some good things upcoming for Dems. Latinos still surviving in the United States are beginning to sour on the Gop. WARs and WARPs are the MVPs. Mamdanimentum is being fueled by Cuomo and Trump, as a list of their scandals can fill a dozen ads. Forget The Apprentice. Ghislaine Maxwell is the reigning champion on The Price is Right, and it's looking good for the Showcase Showdown. Russia, Russia, Russia! Usha Vance may not hate JD now, but why wait on the divorce? Marjorie Taylor Greene makes more than 30 times what she did when she was first elected. How? Go to hell! Maybe her buddy Laura Loomer can take her there.

David Waldman does his Tuesday KITM thing. As you are doing, right now. Donald K. Trump, that little ‘Gyna-tease, taco'd his China tariffs into Christmas buying season. As if he'd ever cross Xi Jinping, who's quite a pussy-grabber himself. Trump's off to Alaska, but he's already given away his planned Putin bargaining chip. Meh, Trump is a bigger commie than the two of them put together, and a true innovator of corruption. Donald's the Thomas Edison of Harold Hills, the Elon Musk of Elon Musks. He's earned every cyberpenny he's soaked from the rubes, no matter how many that may be. Who better, then, to crack down on crime? At least, the crime of being scary, young, brown, and/or homeless and in the line of sight of old, white, pussies, and/or tourists. It's hard to fight back against fear, hate, bigotry... and cops. Republicans are getting used to being hated, maybe... a little turned on, maybe they'll pass a couple more mega-bills and see how that feels. JD Vance must love being hated. Why else would he hang around Usha?
