… Trump’s Cabinet of Losers – 17 of his nominees have lost elections.

… He did nominate 5 billionaires and multiple people who inherited fortunes though, so they are winning at getting rich that’s for sure.

Like Morning Joe, Merrick Garland just surrendered to Donald Trump
Dean Obeidallah, The Dean’s Report
This is how democracies die.

Again, Garland and Scarborough have chosen to surrender to Trump—just as we can expect others will going forward. We must not. As Prof. Snyder tells us: “Do not obey in advance.”  Instead, we must take the fight to Trump. That is the way we protect our freedoms, our self-determination and our Republic.

What’s going to happen next?
Steve Schmidt, The Warning

What happens next is going to be a malicious experiment. The American president, who is among the lowest and worst of men, imbued with every character of smallness and malice that a person can hold, will soon exercise unrestrained power and the immunities of his office to do as he pleases. He will do exactly what he said he was going to do.

The American people, generally speaking, have a real lack of imagination around what that is going to look like, and how it is going to impact them. MAGA will become a true experiential proposition.

They aren’t going to like it, and from that, the Democratic Party can cut the anchor around its ankle and start moving forward again.

Republicans Thought They Were Getting A Bro-Podding Business Guy. They – And We – Are Getting A Russian-Backed Monster

Who is a ‘journalist’?

The Morning: The Art of the Deal?
Chris Cillizza, So What

A 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada?! Big deal! (Trump, in a subsequent, er, Truth, said he would impose a 10% tariff on China as well.)

If Trump goes through with this pledge against the America’s three biggest importers, it would have colossal economic impacts. While the average person likely has no idea how tariffs work, here’s the simplest explanation:

Trump charges foreign companies/countries more to bring goods into the U.S.
Importers raise prices in order to keep making the same profits
Those price increases get passed down to American consumers.
