It's going to take people a while to get used to it, but even though it has not yet been properly spelled out by the Supreme Court, there is no such thing as an independent federal agency any more (with the potential exception, for some reason, of the Fed).
This is in the weeds, but please be reminded that this gross usurpation of the Institute of Peace was made possible by a Supreme Court order from the shadow docket in an unrelated case, which then three Trump judges on the D.C. Circuit ran with to allow this usurpation to proceed.

This will make Thanksgiving dinner so much easier for a lot of people living in NYC. “What are you complaining about, your guy seems to like him, what’s your problem?”
Q: would you feel comfortable living in NYC under a Mamdani administration ?
TRUMP: I would. I really would.

Eyes as blue as the flame
Shedding tears for a rose:
Sights that wrench a girl’s heart
Like whale juice stings the nose
His love, so insatiable
Complex and dark
More perplexing by far
Than roadkill in a park
He promised a baby,
A bullet--no pain--
A future as long
As the worm in his brain.

As much as I enjoyed Death By Lightning I’m sorry but there no way Matthew Macfadyen would live for 5 years in a free love commune and not get any. He was great in the role but a bit miscast.

30 million? I knew inflation was still a problem but I didn’t realize it was that bad. It was only 12 million a year ago.
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

Hegseth: "Let me say that again. We need to increase acquisition risk in order to decrease operational risk ... An 85% solution in the hands of our armed forces today is infinitely better than an unachievable 100% solution endlessly undergoing testing."

I'm not a Nobel winning economist, but it seems to me the world's largest retailer and the worlds largest delivery services laying off hundreds of thousands right before the busiest retail and delivery season of the year is perhaps not an optimistic indicator of Trump's promised "Golden Age"
