Armory Arch? Another Ridiculous Idea from Trump. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Now that lawsuits have been filed to stop the construction of Donald Trump’s “Triumphal Arch,” Trump has been scrambling to find ways to proceed. His latest ploy has been to declare that the 250-foot-tall arch is needed for national security purposes. Last week PBS News reported that, according to Trump, the arch will now be converted “into a top-grade Military Complex/Triumphal Arch, to house, store, and have the rapid ability to use large numbers of drones, plus snipers, on both the roof and p
Who Cares? Not Trump and His Billionaire Cabinet. (opens the original)

This week The New Yorker ran an article about how Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s envoy, is simultaneously running negotiations to bring an end to the war in Iran and the war in Ukraine. He is also meeting with the Saudis to figure out what to do about the Houthi-Arab conflict.

Are You Kidding? Trump’s $5,000 Promise. (opens the original)
Read excerpt

He threatened to fire former Fed Chair Jer
Please Mr. Postman, Is There a Letter for Me? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve been reminded lately of a 1961 hit single by The Marvelettes, one of rock ‘n roll’s first girl groups. It’s titled “Please Mr. Postman.” It’s about a girl yearning for the postman to deliver a letter from her boyfriend. She’s been waiting “a mighty long time” for that letter, but there’s no sign that it ever arrives. That song ought to ring a bell with voters nowadays. Why?In March, Donald Trump issued an executive order barring the U.S. Postal Service from delivering mail-in ballots to peo
