At some point it must occur to the Karoline Leavitts, Lindsey Halligans and Pam Bondis of the world they weren’t selected for their skill or accomplishments but, rather, for their physical appearance and servility to one man. That they readily accept those terms says volumes about their character.

I can’t recall an administration that has been more incompetent domestically and more overmatched and outmaneuvered on the world stage. By fielding rank amateurs at every position, he’s putting the nation in real danger.

A truly patriotic way for House Republicans to demonstrate their disapproval of the President and Speaker would be for four of them to resign now. The majority would shift, the gavel would go to Hakeem Jeffries and the committee chairs to Democrats who actually know how to govern.

Admiral Alvin Holsey is said to have resigned over orders to fire on small boats in the Caribbean. I’m beginning to believe a bigger reason might have been that he didn’t want any part of what certainly would be a lawless attack on Venezuela.

The Navy is poised to strike Venezuela; over 70% of Americans oppose. Combined with his tanking approval, this presents a huge quandary for the regime: attack and face fierce domestic blowback or back off and be seen internationally as weak. As usual, these boneheads left themselves no good options.

The House vote today notwithstanding, he still has numerous ways to delay the release of the files, albeit at increasingly high political cost. The point at which he gives up the fight will indicate just how much damage he knows the information will do to him.

Living a moral and compassionate life, free of obligation to, or fear of, the supernatural, makes me happy and free. My faith is in the universe and so far, it’s never let me down.

We’re seeing proof the Unitary Executive, cornerstone of Project 2025, is also its major flaw. By creating a government in the image of the current president, his weaknesses become its weaknesses, only amplified. Instead of continuity and stability, we whipsaw from crisis to crisis.

As desperation over Epstein increasingly drives his actions, we can expect a major escalation. What’ll it be? Venezuela? Insurrection Act? ICE invading another major city? It’s anybody’s guess.

I’m sure he’s thinking that if he can withhold SNAP benefits long enough, it will cause people enough pain to foment food riots, finally giving him the pretext he needs to invoke the Insurrection Act. Behold Project 2025 in action.

I know I’m not alone in this but, upon reflection, I believe Mamdani’s win in NYC will prove to have been yesterday’s most significant event, and will influence the way politics, particularly progressive politics, is done in this country for many years to come.
