Which is EXACTLY why Congress has exclusive constitutional authority to impose tariffs. But Trump wants to be an autocrat, and unilateral tariff authority forces CEOs to come to him begging, then he can extort what he wants from them personally. www.cnbc.com/2025/09/25/k...

Pay attention to their messaging. They’re going to steal the next election and say it’s because they got rid of “democrats.” Couple this with the fact they’re amassing a citizenship database, and prepping to charge state election officials with crimes.

Trump is urging SCOTUS to let him fire three Democrat-appointed members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The CPSC regulates safety of everyday consumer products.
Guess who recently sued the agency and claimed that it's "unconstitutional"?

Donald Trump may be the first pacifist president since Jimmy Carter. Four months into his second term, Trump has exhibited, if not professed, a peacenik doctrine in foreign affairs. www.houstonchronicle.com/business/col...

President Donald Trump has avoided armed conflict since draft-dodging days, the first peacenik president since Jimmy Carter.

Please don’t presume this is now an American president making a serious decision for the good of America, not a malignant despot desperate to be seen as a strong man.

Just a heads up: if we are in fact at war, the authorities Trump has been using — many/most of which are delegated wartime authorities — will only expand and be given more deference by the courts. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

"Waste" is when people get Medicaid.
"Efficiency" is when you let 60,000 tons of food that's already been paid for rot instead of feeding someone with it.

I say all this to say, stop it. Biden was old, tired, not as sharp in language, recall or gait as two years before.
But he was doing the job and doing it well. Sadly he was not able to effectively do the Comms part of the job which requires vigor & charisma.
Now do a wellness check on Trump.

Every time a new scandal is reported from the Trump admin, which is every few hours, their first reaction is to call the story fake news, their second reaction is to vow to hunt down and jail the leakers, and their third reaction is to threaten the media company who published it.

Could you imagine the response if a democratic president said they didn’t know if they had to uphold the Constitution?
