ICYMI: The signs of Trump's cognitive decline are growing, as is the evidence that he doesn't know what's happening inside his own administration ... when will the media start talking about it?
At what point can we start talking about the growing signs that Donald Trump appears to be in serious cognitive decline? msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-…

Except NYC is a solid blue city … different dynamic than when the opponent is MAGA Republican
If a more moderate Democrat beats a progressive in the 2028 primary (as in 2016 and 2020), it will be tough to convince progressives to unite behind the nominee when the Democratic establishment won't rally behind @ZohranKMamdani after his convincing primary win.
Forget Epstein. This is the real reason Trump is in political trouble

🚨U.S. and Israeli officials involved in the negotiations tell me that the U.S., Israel, Qatar and Egypt are still waiting for Hamas' response to the latest Gaza ceasefore deal proposal that was delivered last week 🚨Hamas officials in Doha are inclined to support the proposal,…
The political guru (and excellent pal) @speechboy71 had me on Truth & Consequences to talk about the politics of food. He also had a background of cattle just to troll me. Link below!

It's starting to go mainstream: I'll be talking about WE ARE EATING THE EARTH today on @Morning_Joe around 9:30 a.m. ET.
