Donald Trump banning CNN from the White House press pool doesn't seem to have affected Kaitlan Collins at the United Nations all that much.

For the umpteenth time: Quit trying to analyze Trump. Quit trying to figure out why he says and does the things he says and does. I’m so fucking sick of listening to some panel on CNN try to discuss his latest bizarre pronouncement like he’s some normal human being. Stop that. This isn’t complicated- He’s not a normal human being. He’s a sociopath. He lies as he breathes. He’s an idiot. He’s a Russian asset. He gets off on being cruel. He’s never been held accountable for anything he’s done his entire life. He’s a horrible person. And he’s the biggest fucking crybaby who’s ever lived. That’s it.

Steve Schmidt, who ran John McCain's 2008 campaign for president, was interviewed on MSNOW. In response to a very general question regarding the Trump presidency, Mr. Schmidt spoke for two minutes and gave the most insightful and brutally honest response of what the Trump presidency has done to our great country: "Donald Trump has been the worst president this country has ever had. And, I don't say that hyperbolically. He is.
But he is a consequential president. And, he has brought this country in three short years to a place of weakness that is simply unimaginable if you were pondering where we are today from the day where Barack Obama left office. And, there were a lot of us on that day who were deeply skeptical and very worried about what a Trump presidency would be. But this is a moment of unparalleled national humiliation, of weakness.” "When you listen to the President, these are the musings of an imbecile.
An idiot. And I don't use those words to name call. I use them because they are the precise words of the English language to describe his behavior. His comportment. His actions. We've never seen a level of incompetence, a level of ineptitude so staggering on a daily basis by anybody in the history of the country whose ever been charged with substantial responsibilities.” "It's just astonishing that this man is president of the United States. The man, the con man, from New York City.
Many bankruptcies, failed businesses, a reality show, that branded him as something that he never was. A successful businessman. Well, he's the President of the United States now, and the man who said he would make the country great again. And he's brought death, suffering, and economic collapse on truly an epic scale. And, let's be clear. This isn't happening in every country around the world. This place. Our place. Our home. Our country. The United States. We are the epicenter.
We are the place where you're the most likely to die from this disease. We're the ones with the most shattered economy. And we are, because of the fool that sits in the Oval Office behind the Resolute Desk." @SteveSchmidtSES r/t Ron Tipton

Friends & Family! I’m producing another feature film and this is our fund raising window! Please be a part of our efforts if you can. Please forward this and help us spread the word. Thank you so much!! seedandspark.com/fund/after-…
Dear friends and colleagues,
I’ve been watching about six hundred acting demo reels a day this week. Each one gets my absolute, undivided attention while it plays. A stranger’s demo reel, after all, represents a life, a dream, two parents and a childhood of hopes. You have to care. If you don’t care, why are you in the arena?
We’re making our second feature film here at Askari. It’s our first one since I was injured. In a way it’s a triumph just to get to this point. There’s no recovery, exactly, but there’s definitely such thing as being as stubborn as hell. I’m crawling toward the sun with a knife between my teeth.
AFTER AFTER is an American ensemble comedy about young people coming into their own in the tradition of THE BIG CHILL and METROPOLITAN. We wrote it over almost a year with the goal of capturing beauty, friendship through a heartfelt zillennial lens before this moment in history passes.
We are pouring our own time, labor, and money into this film, and shooting in our own home, too. Still, three weeks’ pay for a full cast and crew is outside the realm of personal household finance. To that end, we are fundraising through Seed & Spark to finance the gap, and I hope you’ll consider joining in.
The film is budgeted. The plan is clear. If we can raise at least $50,382 by August 10, 2026, we have a go picture and we’ll shoot in September.
There are a number of backer rewards available, including an extremely rare opportunity to get your own bespoke Cairo Smith short story, but ultimately I hope that you will support this project because you believe in what I do and you believe in a better aesthetic regime for American art.
Even just a follow on Seed & Spark gets us closer to qualifying for generous post-production grants, so please click through and follow the campaign. This is the biggest and most ambitious artistic undertaking we’ve ever embarked on, and I really do appreciate your exceptional support. I think we can do this.
Link below.
All my best,
Cairo

We didn't win against Iran but at least it didn't cost us 300 billion USD. 🤷♂️

Trump blames the pool algae on vandalism. Yes, vandalism in DC is rampant. Last year vandals destroyed half the White House. Last week a gang of criminals ripped up the South Lawn and staged a fight club. A few months ago some cretin graffitied the Kennedy Center with his name!
