NBC and CNN producers say they're through airing Trump's virus pressers. “We might take it from the top and then cut away after the first lie, and return when the lies stop.”
3.3 million people, suddenly out of work. How many of those jobs could've been saved, if our government had taken this threat seriously in January, even February?
EXCLUSIVE: The president’s niece Mary Trump is set to publish a tell-all this summer—and to reveal that she was a primary source for The New York Times’ investigation into Trump’s taxes.
A member of my family once did business with Jared -- and found him to be the dullest, most mendacious, weak-kneed wannabe bully he'd ever encountered in his many years of work.
If Trump had seized this moment, his reputation would've been gold, possibly forever. He could've skated to re-election. Impeachment would've been a tiny asterisk. But Trump couldn't help himself. He couldn't rise to meet the crisis. Now he'll go down as the worst of the worst.
EXCLUSIVE: Right before he was put in charge of a Senate subcommittee with jurisdiction over the Navy, Sen. David Perdue began buying up stock in a company that made submarine parts.
NEW: Trump told his Mar-a-Lago buddies to expect ‘big’ Iran action days before the Soleimani hit.
In other words, randos at Trump's club knew more about the strike before members of Congress.

Here's what Tucker said about Tammy Duckworth tonight that prompted her fiery response:
"Most people just ignore her. But when Duckworth does speak in public, you're reminded what a deeply silly and unimpressive person she is... These people actually hate America."
Twenty minutes after leaving his job at a Brooklyn hospital on Saturday night, Rayne Valentine was lying in the fetal position on the sidewalk. He’d been beaten and kicked by New York police officers, his hospital ID smeared with his own blood.
NEW: financial records reviewed by

show three billionaire families -- the DeVoses, the Bradleys and the Scaifes -- funding the braintrust behind the Big Lie, and the plan to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
NEW:
@RepAdamSchiff
's house intelligence committee is hiring money laundering and forensic accounting experts. This is not good news for Donald J. Trump.
This is despicable. "Julian Assange not only knew that a murdered DNC staffer wasn’t his source for thousands of hacked party emails, he was in active contact with his real sources in Russia’s military intelligence unit months after Seth Rich’s death."
Fuck right off with your pat answers blaming one party for Afghanistan and exonerating your favorite politician. This is a generational failure, and they're all to blame -- Biden, Bush, Trump, Obama, all of their generals, all of them.
EXCLUSIVE: The value of Sen. Kelly Loeffler's mansion dropped by $6.4 million overnight, saving her a bundle on taxes. And no one—not her campaign, not local experts, no one—can explain why.

NEW: Kushner, fresh off royally screwing up PPE acquisition, has been given a new mission by the president: to get a vaccine by the end of the year.
We're fucked, aren't we?
Never in my lifetime did I think I'd see another fuck-up as bad as the Iraq invasion. Depending in how this breaks, it could be worse -- way, way worse.
Exclusive: In leaked documents, Fox News’ in-house research team warns colleagues of “disinformation” from several Fox News regulars like Giuliani and John Solomon.
So first they downplay the virus.
Then, belatedly, they focus -- for 10 days or so.
Then they get tired of the hard work of saving lives.
So now it's: take a chance, grandma. You might just survive.
What a statement. What a woman. At a time when Jews are under attack, my wonderful wife said no to hate, no to fear, and yes to God and love. She converted this morning at the mikvah on the Upper West Side.
It sounds like a gag. But it's real -- and really great.

EXCLUSIVE: Trump’s White House Was ‘awash in speed’ and Xanax
If you ever looked at the actions of the Trump administration and wondered, ‘Are they on drugs?’ — the answer was, in some cases, yes. Absolutely, yes.

"A source with direct knowledge of the investigation told The Daily Beast that Mueller intended to make a case to Congress, believing that legislators, and not the DOJ, are 'empowered to weigh the lawfulness of a president’s conduct.'"
Got a chance to adopt a rescue dog. But there's a catch ... because of COVID, we would have to adopt without ever meeting the pooch. She looks adorable, and the rescuers are very thorough. Whadya think?
CNN's Dana Bash: You said in 2014 that Obama showed "failed leadership" with Ebola, when only 2 Americans died. Would you say Trump's showed failed leadership with coronavirus as 130,000 Americans have died?
Sen. Joni Ernst: "No, I think that the president is stepping forward"
If history is any guide, the more AOC keeps dunking on Cruz like this, the more he's likely to ... become her most loyal wingman in her run for higher office.
I am happy to work with Republicans on this issue where there’s common ground, but you almost had me murdered 3 weeks ago so you can sit this one out.
Happy to work w/ almost any other GOP that aren’t trying to get me killed.
In the meantime if you want to help, you can resign.
EXCLUSIVE: Trump privately frets he could be headed to prison.
The ex-president has repeatedly asked his confidants and attorneys if he'd have to wear “one of those jumpsuits” behind bars.
Some of the most stoic people I know in Ukraine -- people who thought Biden was really overhyping Putin's threat -- are now bracing for an imminent attack.
EXCLUSIVE: Trump and Kushner pushed the National Enquirer to investigate that bogus Joe Scarborough 'murder' story. The tabloid dug — and found it was total bullshit.
Absolutely A+ classic exchange at this Manhattan diner:
"I'll take a BLT, extra mayo, no bread."
"No bread? On a BLT?"
"I don't like the way you asked the question."
"You want another waiter?"
I'm seeing lots of folks on the left and the right who seem absolutely sure that Epstein is going to give up their political enemies. Hot tip: he's just as likely to give up your allies.

The bad blood between Trump and his niece dates back 20 years, to when Trump cut off financial and medical support for her brother’s ill child. “My aunt and uncles should be ashamed of themselves,” Mary Trump said in 2000. “I'm sure they are not.”
Let me make sure I understand the pro-Flynn argument...
The general -- who prides himself on seeing through others' bullshit and who literally served as a master spy -- was tricked into lying by a couple of FBI agents.
That's the assertion here?
"So, no, I’m not at all offended by Greene comparing having to wear a mask to my great-grandparents starving naked in the snow, desperately clinging to their children as they were shot dead by their own former neighbors. That totally makes sense."
I edited this piece. It had nothing to do with Brennan, who was at the CIA at the time.
These complaints were about the handling of U.S. Central Command, a military branch. Totally different part of the government.
Try harder.
The rise in anti-Semitic violence in NYC is something that could have been stopped at a much earlier stage if the City had a Mayor who embraced the Broken Windows Theory, or at the least, a Mayor who worked full time & paid attention to what was going on.

It's been three days since this story came out. No member of the Trump team, current or former, has denied any aspect of it. And they push back on *everything*.

Republican activists in Texas, Nebraska, and Louisiana have a new way to turn the clock back to the 1950s -- and rob women of their autonomy.
They're pushing for an end to no-fault divorce.
Paul Manafort spent a lifetime working for some of the most evil people on the planet. He grew very rich. But it wasn't enough. He needed one last score, one final shot at relevance. And that is poised to cost him the rest of his life.
EXCLUSIVE: Trump and his team are actively planning to pull the United States out of NATO — or, barring that, kneecap the collective defense provisions at the heart of the alliance.

speech. “We're wasting time playing mop-up... And it goes without say[ing] that we aren’t allowed to admit that any of it is the fault of the president.”
I miss the good ol' days when you could enjoy an unseasonably warm autumn afternoon without an impending sense of ecological and civilizational collpase.
