Meanwhile in Russia: this is how the most watched state TV channel in the country welcomed Melania Trump's upcoming return to the White House. Olga Skabeeva is trying not to laugh. This was probably her idea.

The thing about leopards is eventually they will eat you too.
Your favorite local restaurant closing because the nice family who owns it getting deported. You thought they were some of the “good ones.” The price of produce skyrocketing even before the camps are built as immigrants flee. Your daughter dying of sepsis because the lawyers feel it’s too risky to perform that D&C.
No more FAFSA for your kids college because you didn’t know that was part of the Department of Education. Veterans having their benefits cut because they rolled back the PACT Act as too expensive. That factory in town that was going to build chips and employ your kids never breaking ground because of the repeal of the CHIPs act. The bridge that was going to cut your commute in half being canceled because of the repeal of the Infrastructure Act.
That sweet government job that you’ve loved because you can work 8 hours a day and fish on the weekends has been slated for a MAGA Schedule F slot because it controls funding for contracts that will go to Republican donors, so you’re fired without cause or any union protections.
You’ll blame Biden or the local Democrats probably. But it will be fine because Elon promised it would be uncomfortable at first but it will get better. You were just so sure it would be uncomfortable for…you know…”those people.” Not you.
But that’s leopards for you. They eat whatever is available.

Almost as if protectionism has long been riddled with corruption problems and modern US interest group lobbying got its start during the heyday of American tariffs... or something.

His name? Bart Starr, Jr. (Yes, the son of THAT Bart Starr.)
The answer may surprise you.🧵

There is no shift to Trump. There is no reversal of the polls. There is a concerted effort to gaslight, lie, and twist reality so you will wring your hands, panic, and say dumb things like “we were ahead in 2016 and look what happened!” Stop. The fundamentals all show Trump heading for another loss. Don’t fall for the bullshit. Do the work. Get in the fight. Turn out the votes. When we vote, we win.

Spend 5 minutes talking to your average Trump supporter & you’ll realize these were the dumb guys you knew in HS. Conservative media asked little of its audience other than blind obsequiousness and to parrot talking points. MAGA makes dumb guys feel smart and that is its power.

Mike preached a whole sermon this morning … nobody is asking to put a thumb on the scale but normalizing (and “both sides-ing”) his deranged, unprincipled and unprecedented behavior is just as dangerous as his actual unhinged, delusional, and unAmerican utterances.
.@mikebarnicle: "Today we have a damaged, delusional, old man who again might get re-elected to the presidency of the United States. How did this happen?... How did the Republican Party get here?"
