Here's the full chain of events that led to Trump storming out of his interview with Kristin Welker, beginning with her pressing him on the weaponization fund, continuing with her pointing out the baselessness of his "rigged election" lies, and concluding with him calling her "crooked or stupid" and leaving

Yes. This is the entire quote, not just the front porch half quoted in anti-Talarico attack ads. We need a workable system, including an enforceable border AND striving immigrants, who have been part of America's secret sauce from our very inception! Most Americans agree!

James Talarico: “I’ve always said that our southern border should be like our front porch. There should be a welcome mat and a lock on the door. We can both welcome immigrants and we can keep out people who mean to do us harm”

Talarico: I’m an eighth-generation Texan. I’ve been eating barbecue since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment. And if all they have on me is lying about me being a vegan, I feel pretty good about our chances this November.

HOLY CRAP Trump actually accomplished a miracle. Here is what he got out of Iran: - Reduce its stockpile of enriched uranium by about 98% - Limit uranium enrichment to 3.67% purity (far below weapons-grade) - Cut the number of installed centrifuges by roughly two-thirds - Only enrich uranium at one declared site (Natanz) - Stop enrichment activities at Fordow and convert it into a research facility - Redesign the Arak heavy-water reactor so it could not easily produce weapons-grade plutonium - Ship out or dilute excess enriched uranium Allow extensive inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Permit continuous monitoring of nuclear facilities and supply chains - Accept “snap” inspections under expanded monitoring rules - Avoid building new heavy-water reactors for years - Stay within strict limits on uranium stockpile size and centrifuge development for set periods ranging from 10–25 years Ooops, sorry! That was the JCPOA that Obama signed with Iran, only to have him tear it up, kill 140 kids, get hundreds of Americans injured, 13 killed, and gas prices to surge 50%.

Exclusive: The Pentagon said a crash that killed six U.S. service members did not involve hostile fire and happened in “friendly airspace”—but initial intelligence reports painted a more complicated picture, Atlantic staff writers report. theatln.tc/Fc5d1iGV

“The operating ethos during Trump’s second term has followed the dictum that the president and his allies are immune from the law, while his enemies can expect to be hounded. As his party watches silently and cowers, his intentions grow only more naked” theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/05/…

It was great talking to Stephen and the inspiring young people we’ve worked with at the @ObamaFoundation on the @ColbertLateShow. When the Obama Presidential Center opens this June 19, my hope is that this will be a place where people can come together to meet, learn, and work with each other to create change in their communities.

No one has ever explained to me how what I did in Iraq and Afghanistan made anyone’s lives better in Sullivan, Maine. Our foreign wars are good for a lot of people: defense contractors, draft-dodging politicians who want to feel tough, Benjamin Netanyahu. But not for us.

Ted Cruz, 10 years ago today: “I want to tell you what I really think of Donald Trump. This man is a pathological liar...He lies practically every word that comes out of his mouth…The man cannot tell the truth, but he combines it with being a narcissist at a level I don't think this country has ever seen”

Spirit danced with bankruptcy & was plagued by management issues for quite some time. Then - this unprofitable organization- with almost no cushion got hit with soaring jet fuel costs. That is the story.

A group of Ecuadorian fishermen survived a US drone strike, were detained at gunpoint, phones wiped, ship blown up, disappeared to El Salvador, then released without charge. “They knew we were fishermen. Even the Salvadorian authorities said things had been handled very badly.”

Donald Trump promised to "drain the swamp." The fact that the President of the United States has been able to increase his net worth by over $1 billion dollars on the backs of American taxpayer dollars is asinine. He is the swamp. apnews.com/article/trump-…

Agree. Why did Trump threaten Denmark and Canada?

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: Pakistan just said it directly. The ceasefire included Lebanon. Not implied. Not assumed. Not lost in translation. Included. Pakistan’s Prime Minister put it in the announcement. In writing. With U.S. involvement. And now Israel is bombing Beirut. And Vance calls it a “reasonable misunderstanding.” And Netanyahu says Lebanon was never part of the deal. Someone is lying.

"When you have a president who's running the country like a mob boss instead of a government, who's running the government for himself, of himself, and by himself, and for his cronies, instead of the people, by the people, and for the people, there's only one solution, and that's impeachment and removal."

Christie: The best example of this right now is Lindsey Graham. He is a vapid, vacant human being. For him to say the things he has said about Donald Trump in the past and all he wants to do is suck up and play another round of golf… John McCain saw Lindsey Graham as like a son. I can guarantee you, he is spinning in his grave watching Lindsey Graham suck up to Donald Trump.

Every so often—for no particular reason—I feel compelled to post a gift link to the 11,000-word article I published in @TheAtlantic seven years ago about @realDonaldTrump's mental disorders and how they rendered him unfit to serve as president. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

Beyond which, Iran surrendered 97% of its enriched uranium and submitted to ongoing, intrusive inspections by experts from the IAEA. Trump could have improved on that deal & held Iran's nuclear program in check. But he saw it as an Obama legacy, so he ripped it up. Like the ACA.

Trump’s comments last night about “Obama’s Iran deal” were simply wrong. It wasn’t perfect, but it capped uranium enrichment at 3.67%. Since Trump scrapped it, Iran has enriched to 60%—much closer to weapons-grade. And that stockpile still hasn’t been eliminated.
