I think it should be a bigger story that the Senate is preparing to confirm five Trump judicial nominees whose answers to questions about the 2020 election are exactly what you would say if you were a “Trump only lost because of voter fraud” conspiracy theorist
Senate Democrats Are Letting Trump’s Judicial Nominees Off the Hook
Trump's nominees gave some eye-popping answers in their written questionnaires. Why didn't Senate Democrats ask these questions in person?

Is Trump Out-of-Touch, Senile, Nuts or Something Worse?
It takes a degree of insanity to think sharing a picture of yourself as Pope or as Luke Skywalker is somehow helping raise your plummeting poll numbers.

So the Trump admin suddenly yanked visas from thousands of international students—then backtracked only after getting dragged into court.

Home sales fall to lowest level since the financial crisis
The slump is especially noteworthy because sales typically pick up in March as the spring buying season gets underway.

All of the talk about the stock market and tariffs makes it sound like it’s a problem that only affects big companies or rich people who own stocks.
In reality, both groups will survive in some diminished form. On the other hand, a lot of small businesses will be wiped out if it doesn’t end soon.

Yesterday’s smug briefing between Bukele and Trump was (is) a criminal conspiracy to deprive an individual (many individuals) of their rights, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 242.
Thanks to the Supreme Court, though, it’s an “official act” that is immune from prosecution. Forever.
