Trump Bizarrely Compares the D.C. Plane Crash to Hitting Golf Balls on the Driving Range

Personally, I wish the National Prayer Breakfast, that relic of the dangerous commingling of red-baiting politics and red-baiting religion from the 1950s, never existed in the first place. (Worse, there now are two of the damn things.) Watching politicians take their performative faith out for a walk is never edifying. It starts out bad and ends up inevitably worse. However, the NPB on Capitol Hill Thursday provided an invaluable service. It demonstrated that the president of the United States has had the cheese slip off his cracker in a very big way. For example, let's talk about midair collisions ... and golf balls

Co-President Elon Musk Wants to Abolish Federal Regulations

HuffPost found a transcript of a phone call between President Musk and a handful of influential Republicans, including two senators, in which Musk proved himself just as delusional as his ostensible boss is.

I'm Extremely Nervous About the CIA Buyouts

As regulars here in the shebeen know, I have a fundamental, long-standing distrust of the Agency and all its works. But it's entirely naive to doubt its technological and political power inside and outside government. A completely acquiescent CIA run by a lackey like John Ratcliffe and respondent to every whim of a criminal president who babbles daily about his dreams of empire is an altogether new universe of anxiety.

Marco Rubio Received a Lunatic Offer to Outsource U.S. Citizens to Prison in El Salvador

As Senator Susan Collins once again disappears into the furrows of her brow and the Senate Finance Committee's Republicans approve Robert Kennedy Jr.'s nomination, let's check in on what's going on with members of the Cabinet who've already been confirmed. Secretary of State Marco Rubio (confirmation vote: 99–0) is mulling a lunatic offer from the bizarro president of El Salvador.
