Melissa Ryan’s thoughts on the speech, lists of vetted community resources waiting for your donations, and Trump’s evil shithead reaction. (Ctrl Alt Delete)

“When you think of it, we shouldn’t even have an election.” (Reuters archive link)

Trump sold his first tranche of Venezuelan oil for half a billion dollars and is holding it in for some reason (it’s so he can steal it) Qatar. And everyone seems to be fine with that. (Semafor) She gave him her Peace prize. This is the most pathetic thing that has ever happened. (Time)

Our Liz splainers how Trump played himself with his Jerome Powell threats. (Public Notice)
