Senate Republicans are bucking Trump on blue slips and Argentinian beef. On his usurping the power of the purse to pay the salaries of U.S. troops . . . not so much.

Time to Show Some Backbone
Congressional Republicans have started standing up to Trump on some little stuff. But what about the big new usurpation of their power?

“Trump’s naked greed for wealth and power, his cruelty, his obscenity, his stupidity, his childishness, his arrogance—all these have galvanized the opposition as never before in recent U.S. history. That’s what “No Kings” was about.”

Really appreciate the words of @eggerdc.bsky.social today. Saturday was never going to magically fix things. I’m tired of the “none of this matters” crowd. Yep there’s a long time to go, it will get harder (& SCOTUS rulings may introduce extra hurdles), and we’re going to have to put in the work.

In Trump's America, "military police are heroic patriots by virtue of being in *his* military police," writes @eggerdc.bsky.social. And the law's only job is "getting out of their way."
Conversely, "people who object to his will—whenever, wherever—are dangerous insurgents who must be rooted out."

perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.
