What they’ve consistently done is something else.
JD Vance: "What we have consistently said is that we want to deport violent criminals, people who came in under the Biden administration, and get them out of the country so Americans' wages can go up."

What ever happened to the unitary executive theory?
In other words, Iowa Republicans recognize that Iowa is very much in play for Dems in 2026.

Think about it: this analogy is incredibly strained because staying in a hotel is nothing like voting.
Sen. Eric Schmitt on voter ID: "Think about it -- you have to show a photo ID or your driver's license to check into a hotel room, right? This is common sense."

No one is entitled to anonymity when wielding the power of the state within our borders. Voters identify themselves when they vote by declaring their name and address under criminal penalty. I would love for ICE to do the same, though the analogy is incredibly strained.
Randy Fine: "They say photo ID is important for agents to have. I think we make that a standard. You have to have photo ID to vote. They don't want agents wearing masks. I think we make standard & say Muslim terrorists running around can't wear masks. Take their logic & jam it down their throats."

You identify yourself to vote. You don’t necessarily use a photo ID card. But you identify yourself orally and sign your name on the voter rolls. ICE wants no identification whatsoever. Also, ICE has no constitutional rights and voting is a right (though not expressly mentioned in the Constitution).
Emmer: "Another reform they claim they want is they want ICE agents to identify themselves, to show identification. But they don't want identification for voters in elections. I mean, this stuff is just intellectually inconsistent."

The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000.
So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000.

"Dow 50,000" Sound Nice. Until Justin Wolfers Shows You That U.S. Markets Are Coming 21st Out of 23.
What does “Dow 50,000” actually tell you—anything about the economy, or just that a number got bigger?
Dow 50,000 is a milestone, not a measurement. The level of the Dow is basically arbitrary: it’s…

It’s time for the third revolution. Not a hot war. But a movement like the Renaissance to shed authoritarian orthodoxies that are resurgent again.
rubio’s invocation of “western civilization” — defined here as racial and religious chauvinism, if not outright supremacy — is a rejection of the more egalitarian and universalistic notions that came out of america’s two revolutions.

Whenever he does this dictator nonsense, the chorus for impeachment from the public and Dems in Congress should be deafening.

Trump posted a video depicting the first Black president and his wife as apes and his excuse for this is that it's a riff on The Lion King, a movie that does not feature any apes. Somehow this was a one-day story and we've already moved on.

What if we had an entire foreign policy based on the petty resentments and insecurities of mediocre weak men?
Trump: "So I put on a 30% tariff, which is very low. I got an emergency call from I believe the prime minister of Switzerland. She was very aggressive ... I didn't really like the way she talked to us, so instead of giving her a reduction, I raised it to 39%."

4 months after Trump pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, Forbes reports that Binance now holds $4.7 billion of the $5.4 billion supply of Trump’s World Liberty Financial stablecoin. That is 87%. It is the largest corruption scandal in the history of the US presidency.

You know how they switched the names of Greenland and Iceland around to trick people because Greenland is icy and Iceland is green? Well, they did the same thing with Bad Bunny. He’s actually a “Good Not-Bunny (i.e., a human).”
